Seamless Transport Chains

Signal's description

(approx. 150 words)
Please describe the Weak Signal (approx. 150 words)
First integrated multimodal supply chains and business-overarching application of intertwined databases enable seamless just-in-time deliveries without stop-overs (e.g. in capital-intensive deposits) across the continent, leading to re-duced costs, a higher quality and more satisfied customers.

Keywords

logistics, supply chain, databases, just-in-time, seamless transport

Mini-description

Major risks & opportunities associated to the signal

Please choose the most appropriate timeframe option(s) to which you would like to provide inputs.
Risks Opportunities
between 2015-2025 due to decreasing costs, transportation of goods will rise even more - less need to regionalise production and thus make it more sustainable decreasing costs for logistics and transportation
