Dear
Students, Even before
Covid-19 descended on and disrupted our lives, many significant changes were
altering the way we live, work and play. In particular,
hyper-connectivity and mass proliferation of mobile messaging enabled
the boom of e-commerce, apps, and social media platforms. Consumer
behaviours were in turn changing rapidly. Together with the accelerated
impact of Covid-19 in the past two years, the push for transparent and
speedy fulfilment of online on-demand services hastened and placed tremendous
pressure on logistics and supply chains globally. To meet the
velocity, convenience, and real-time visibility that retailers demand, logistics
service providers (LSPs) quickly revamped capacities and added digital
capabilities. Many adopted digital technologies to transform and operate at a
hyperactive tempo and efficiency level. Traditional logistics were no longer
sufficient to meet these demand shifts, and Singapore's push for a
digital-enabled workforce puts #SGLogistics in a competitive position to ride
this new global norm. Like many other
industries, the emergence of new digital technologies and platforms disrupted
existing business models while enabling new service offerings. Consequently,
LSPs have also adapted and initiated logistics technologies (LogTech) to seamlessly connect, collaborate, and control.
This gave rise to an agile and collaborative form of integrated logistics
that ultimately enhanced LSPs’ service offerings and global competitiveness. In
simplifying and aiding digitalisation for LSPs, we witnessed budding Singapore
trailblazing start-ups such as Haulio, SEA’s largest container haulage
platform, and Shipp, the world’s first digital
freight forwarding platform focused on the supply-chain of global marine
supplies, bringing fast-moving transformations to not only Singapore, but the
region’s way of operating logistics. Besides vertically specialised platforms
such as haulage or marine supplies, there are also digital platforms
like CALISTA that helps connect and drive
activities of the entire logistics ecosystem from regulatory and financial
activities, to orchestrating inventories and order fulfilments for customers. We are in an
era that requires real-time orchestration of logistics capabilities which
only LogTech can help strengthen and fill the gap
globally. The longevity and prosperity of any business will eventually depend
on the ability to fulfil logistically, and LogTech
will undeniably continue to play a critical role in securing Singapore’s
foothold as a global logistics hub now, and in the future. Have what it
takes to join this highly exciting, vibrant, and progressive sector? #SGLogistics
