This document discusses how information technology has impacted logistics. IT has brought changes like making processes more dynamic and efficient through real-time data collection and analysis. It allows companies to track inventory and shipments. Key benefits include improved communication, increased efficiency through automation, reduced costs, and better customer service through real-time updates. The Indian government's PM Gati Shakti initiative aims to create an integrated infrastructure platform using geospatial imaging and data to coordinate planning between 16 ministries for balanced project development.

3. Introduction :
Information Technology applied in logistics has
a great impact When it comes to generating
real-time data that serve as the basis for
effective management. It makes process more
dynamic, agile and practical. Some software
validated by large companies in this sense are
the most used in logistics.
In the Logistics area, IT is one of the most
responsible when it comes to optimizing
processes , reducing responses time to partners
and customers, and still saving.
4. IT in Logistics Management :
Warehouse Facility Data : Warehouse facilities collect data about
every item that is stored by them. This data can be used by
companies to study consumer behavior and seasonal fluctuations
and to improve future service.
Scanning and Bar Coding: This system helps an organization with
regards to information about each & every item that is being moved
every day and helps in inventory management.
Tracking and Controlling: With the help of IT in Logistics, every
item that is shipped around the world can be tracked at each stage.
Because of this, problems with delivery or dispatching can be caught
at the root and service can be made more efficient.
5. Changes Brought by IT in Logistics :
Computer-based
information systems are
used to collect information,
process it, and make the
management process more
efficient and effective
Usage of Data:
IT has helped in availing
information and using it to
coordinate the different
stages of shipping and
supply chain management,
thus making the process
much more efficient. The
paper-based information
system which is much
slower and ineffective is
getting replaced with the
help of IT in Logistics
More Efficiency:
6. Benefits of IT towards Efficient Digital Logistics:
Communication becomes more streamlined, thus
simplifying management functions
Glitches can be recognized easily and solutions can be
devised and implemented
IT magnifies the control of the customer over the
shipping process, thus increasing customer satisfaction
Data collected by IT can be analyzed to improve service
and also to predict trends and fluctuations
7. Effects of IT on Transport and Logistics Foreign
Exchange Market:
Reduced Costs: One of the most obvious ways that IT has benefited
transportation and logistics is by reducing costs. The use of computers and other
automated systems has helped to improve efficiency and accuracy, which in turn
reduces waste and errors. In addition, IT can help businesses save money on fuel
and other resources by optimizing routes and schedules.
Improved Customer Service: Another important benefit of IT in
transportation and logistics is improved customer service. Customers now
have access to real-time tracking information and can receive updates on the
status of their shipments. This transparency has led to increased satisfaction
levels among customers. In addition, businesses can now use social media
and other online platforms to quickly resolve customer concerns or issues.
Increased Efficiency: Perhaps the most significant benefit of IT in
transportation and logistics is increased efficiency. Automated systems
have helped to streamline many processes, from route planning to
inventory management.
8. PM Gati Shakti
The idea behind 'Gati Shakti' scheme is that the government is aiming to
create a digital platform promising the “integrated planning and
coordinated execution” by sixteen ministries. Each ministry and
government department will be able to access information about the
ongoing and upcoming projects us for a balanced and synchronized
approach. It will bring together under one ambit the government
departments like railways, roads and highways and many more. In this era
of Geo-Satellite imagery, Big Data, land and logistics plans would be
realized in an efficient manner on the ground.
The PM Gati Shakti Master Plan is based on six pillars:
Comprehensiveness
Prioritization
Optimisation
Synchronisation
Analytical
Dynamic
