Abstract

In the recent years technological trends behind logistics processes haves evolved significantly, from traditional logistics to widespread use of e-logistics. This transition is of crucial importance for the competitiveness within the logistics market. Internet of Things and Internet of Everything have a strong influence on the logistics itself, though it may not be entirely visible to the end user. Supply chain management changes and evolves, just as much as 3rd-party logistics and 4th-party logistics expand towards 5th-party logistics. E-Logistics develops various disciplines in which cloud-based operations, m-logistics, as well as Mobile Supply Chain Management and augmented reality are important segments in the future of logistics. There are no visible limits to aforementioned development; we are witnessing a completely new paradigm of logistics and supply chain management.
