The Mobility Revolution Impacting Supply Chains & Logistics Shared & Digital: Gearing Up for a New Era

Shared & Digital in Auto-Mobility Supply Chains: Gearing Up For a New Era

Shared ownership of vehicles is growing in popularity, particularly amongst younger drivers. This development is driving the growth of mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) not just among individuals, but among businesses as well. Convenience is key with car sharing and this necessitates an efficient digital ecosystem, including e-commerce platforms, along with advanced fleet management logistics services. To optimize the use of their assets, vehicle rental companies and corporate fleets require highly responsive, high-quality repair and maintenance programs. The right part must be visible and available in the right place at the right time. These organizations may also require efficient vehicle inspection, cleaning, refueling, and transportation services. Expectations of logistics and the supply chain could not be higher.
