In a day and age of rapid technological innovation, the public has come to demand an incredibly high level of technical sophistication from all aspects of their lives. Where the commercial sector has accelerated to meet this demand, the public sector has historically been resistant to change. The Government Technology (“GovTech”) sector arose in response to public demand for more efficient, affordable, and secure government processes from a segment plagued by antiquated systems and outdated procedures. Only recently have government entities begun leveraging innovative and agile solutions to meet increasing operational demands and produce more citizen value while remaining adherent to stringent budgets. This digital transformation has been catalyzed by federal programs and regulations, which are accelerating tech adoption by increasing capital investment and streamlining procurement processes. To capitalize on this trend, Catalyst is exploring GovTech businesses seeking to exploit the recent digital transformation of the public sector across North America and seize market share in a fragmented market.

Are Gutters Necessary? Explore the details now!AmeliaLauren3
Gutters are typically installed at a slight downward slope to allow water to flow freely towards downspouts or drains – the downspout being the vertical pipe attached to the gutters. The water is subsequently transported by the downspout to either the ground or an underground drainage system. Maintaining a gutter system that is free of blockages and functional requires regular maintenance.
But, many wonder in what situations gutters are required and not required. In this ppt we will discuss in detail the matter, ‘Are Gutters Necessary?’

15. Potential Application of Blockchain in Supply Chain
The public availability of the ledger make it possible to trace back every product to the very origin of the raw material used
The decentralized structure of the ledger make it impossible for any one party to hold ownership or manipulate the data
Imagine a scenario where every time a product changes hands, the transaction could be documented,
creating a permanent history of a product, across many distinct systems, from source to sale
The transactions would identify:
• Parties involved
• Price
• Date
• Location
• Quality
• State of the product
• Any other information relevant to managing the supply chain
The information shared would:
• Dramatically reduce time delays
• Eliminate added costs
• Minimize human error
• Increase visibility
• Decrease corruption
Illustrative
16. Benefits and Challenges of Blockchain in Supply Chain
• Blockchain technology guarantees
security, transparency, and
authenticity to wary customers
• Promotes standardization,
enables accuracy and
consistency, minimizes fraud
• Quicker response time, faster
contract settlements, and
shorter customer service cycles
• Blockchain technology can help in
overcoming delays and errors,
resulting in more streamlined and
efficient supply chain
management
• Provides centralized housing of
data across multiple parties
systems, allowing for uniform and
complete tracking of a products
full lifecycle
• Along with scalability issues and lack of protocols,
privacy is one of the concerns blockchain technology
has to address
• Technology complexity will require more time to
understand Blockchain. There is still a lack of
awareness around the technology's use and, due to its
nascent stage, the blockchain ecosystem needs
further development
• One challenge lies in the development and
governance of the technology (There needs to be
interoperability across private and public blockchains,
which will require standards and agreements)
• Blockchain technology in itself does not address the
reliability of its records. Often a person acting as a
trusted third party records the information on the
blockchain. In the case of tracking slavery or other
unethical business practices, an individual can simply
enter into the blockchain system that the business is
legitimate and upstream actors can thus be fooled

21. Benefits and Concerns of Automation
Optimized Transportation
1
Minimize Environmental Impacts
2
Increased Safety Lower Cost of Freight
3 4
Limited impact of human error in
transportation
Automated braking between connected
vehicles in a platoon and improvements
to sensing and avoidance technologies
reduces risk of accidents
Improved traffic flows if platooning
reached 60% penetration
No need for driver salaries leads to
lower transportation costs
Overall cost of freight lower by up to
40% per kilometer, in part due to 4% to
20% fuel-efficiency in platooned
vehicles (depending on the study)
Closely tied to the benefit of optimized
transportation
Reduced fuel waste due to
reduction/removal of human-caused
over-acceleration
Platooning tests have shown that
reduced wind resistance for following
trucks and lower fuel consumption can
lead to up to a 60% reduction in
emissions
Benefits
Faster safe speeds due to automated
braking, resulting in faster delivery times
Minimization of safe distance between
trucks, potentially reducing traffic on the
road
Speed optimization from automated
planning utilizing terrain and topographic
data
Faster delivery times, largely due to
mandated limits of driver hours being
removed
Regulation
1
Limited Consumer Acceptance
2
Existing Non-Automated Fleets Loss of Human Jobs
3 4
Most large 3PL companies already
have existing fleets of non-autonomous
vehicles
There would be a high cost to replace
entire fleets
Could be a potential benefit for new,
smaller players in the automated 3PL
space
Driverless cars do not require labor of
drivers
Benefit to companies of lower operating
costs could be harmful to employment
numbers
Automated technology is not yet a
reality for 3PL providers, so it has not
yet been adopted and adjusted for the
practicalities of everyday use
It remains to be seen how quickly 3PL
providers will adopt such technology
and how fast driverless vehicles and
platooning can become mainstream
Concerns
Piecemeal regulation could make cross-
border transportation complex
Safety concerns during development
Requirements for safe autonomous
vehicle operation or platooning may not
be available in all geographies
22. Benefits and Drawbacks of Digitization
Digitization trends face fewer legal and developmental obstacles than automation trends, but still carry with them unique
challenges and benefits that will change the logistics industry
Improved Supply Chain
Management and Efficiency
Optimization of time, resources, and labor
Reduction of duplicated effort with greater
insight into advance management (lower out
of stocks, faster transportation time, lower
congestion in warehouses, etc.)
Pros Cons
Relatively Low Cost of
Entry
Multiple players in the digitization space, all
competing for the largest market share
Inexpensive opportunities to try SaaS and
small-scale solutions before full
implementation
Opportunity for increased level of
transparency across the entire supply chain,
especially through cloud connectivity and IoT
Support for greater integration across the
supply chain
Greater Visibility Across
the Supply Chain
Rapid Change
Many companies competing in the same
space, which may drive costs down, but may
mean that continuity of service may be a risk
as players drop out
Rapid progress, so today’s technologies may
be obsolete next year, as new players rise
and fall in the digital space
Potential struggle to build a comprehensive
adoption strategy as technology changes
over time
Cannibalization of Work
from Human Labor
Digital loadboards and IoT will remove
certain aspects of everyday manual labor,
from in-person monitoring to check-ins and
scans through various points of the supply
chain process
Warehouse robotics will take over aspects of
distribution center picking, packing, and
processing, reducing the need for unskilled
labor
Need to adapt to the digitized workspace with
new skills from workers and coordination with
ubiquitous technology and new capabilities

22ND ANNUAL THIRD-PARTY LOGISTICS STUDY
THE STATE OF LOGISTICS OUTSOURCING
Editor's Notes
A lot of the trends for digitization and automation are either working in parallel in the same space (automation and platooning), working in conjunction in different spaces (virtual vs. traditional supply chain), or taking physical tasks and moving the control of them to the digital space (warehouse robotics).
Other examples include:
Digitization and automation being aspects of similar thought process (taking boring work out of the hands of human workers), but one is in the digital space, the other is focused on improving physical objects like trucks.
Digitization itself is (obviously) taking physical concepts and making them digital. The reflection is easy to see in all of our trends, especially Digitization of Loadboards and the Virtual Supply Chain.
"Global 3PL Study: The Customers' Perspectives"
https://www.infosys.com/digital/insights/Pages/blockchain-retail-supply-chain.aspx

https://ctmfile.com/story/how-blockchain-will-impact-working-capital-management
What blockchain technology brings to the supply chain is an infrastructure based on shared value networks of guaranteed transparency, community, immutability, authenticity, ethics, and security.
At its core, the blockchain is a distributed ledger that can validate and register transactions without the need for a central authority. No one owns the ledger — it’s spread across the nodes that constitute its network and is publicly available to everyone that is a member.
Information stored on the ledger is interrelated through cryptographic hashes, which make it virtually irreversible and tamper proof. In a nutshell, it means that parties can make peer-to-peer exchanges of data, money or anything else of value in any amount and in a secure manner.
Every event is captured in a chain of events in a way that is available to all in the chain, but each “block” in the chain can only be changed by the latest person in the chain and the previous blocks cannot be changed by anybody.
So in a simple supply chain transaction the first block might be the order you send to the supplier, the next might be the dispatch of goods, the next the receipt of goods and the last the payment for those goods. Blockchain technology has many other applications ranging from secure messaging to voting.
Automation and digitization are two aspects of the same trend changing the supply chain and logistics world.
Automation takes logistics to a new level, providing new capabilities to assist drivers and providers in offering their services faster, cheaper, and with less room for human error.
Digitization reflects similar advances in the digital space that support those in the physical space.
Pros:
-Optimized Transportation

3 of top 4 are same for shippers and providers:
-Competitiveness in the industry
-Increased efficiencies (time to deliver)
-Meeting of customer service needs
1 is different:
Shippers: Decreased operating costs
Providers: Addition of value-add services
Same top 3 across shippers and providers:
1. Uncertainty of ROI
2/3. Lack of funding; competing core IT projects
Different next priority (priorities):
#4 for shippers: A non-digital culture or mindset
#4 for providers: Lack of in-house talent to develop, implement, and monitor
#5 for providers: Insufficient dedicated resources to developing digital platforms
