Supporting transformation in the transportation and logistics industries stemming from paradigm shifts through business strategy proposals, business transformations, and DX

A paradigm shift caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is occurring in the transportation and logistics industries. They must examine the nature of transportation services and find a new way forward. Related businesses must design a future of comfortable living in this “new normal” that includes offices, shopping, leisure, and city-building. Demand for logistics has increased with the spread of e-commerce since the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the overtime regulations on drivers in 2024, there is a need to increase appropriate placement of labor and improve labor productivity. Other important issues include carbon neutrality and a response to geopolitical risks to international logistics.

ABeam Consulting utilizes its consulting experience and the newest digital technology to support transportation and logistics company transformations.

Industry Agenda

DX for increasing management sophistication and adding value to operations

The COVID-19 pandemic was an opportunity for transportation service companies to accelerate transformations such as reviewing their fare systems and implementing point reward systems. Related business services are being created to address this “new normal.” Many transportation companies own multiple related businesses. Advanced management is required to make timely and objective forecasts to achieve synergy and improve the performance of these intertwined businesses and services.

Many companies in the industry are increasing the sophistication of business management and human resources strategies. They are utilizing next-generation business management solutions (ATS) for transportation companies and other digital transformation measures.

DX for Smart Maintenance

Issues involving aging facilities and dwindling maintenance staff continue to worsen. Demand on those facilities has also changed over time, including a sudden decrease of transportation demand and more business operator discretion. There is a need for smart maintenance, which means making a transformation to a flexible cost structure and implementing new technology.

ABeam Consulting considers it very important to implement smart maintenance. We extract management process issues, support maintenance activities, gather data that contributes to the PDCA, and utilize technology such as IoT, AR, and XR for transformation and efficiency improvement. We believe that plan optimization and productivity improvements for maximizing maintenance effects will support the growth of the transportation and logistics industries.

Value creation that connects transportation, purchasing, and payments

The digital age has accelerated changes to business environments. The COVID-19 pandemic changed the behaviors of the customers of transportation and logistics companies.

Companies are increasingly looking to MaaS. It is a new value proposition that goes beyond transportation to seamlessly support user purchasing and payments while advancing transformation in the transportation business. Companies are collaborating on initiatives such as new business development with other industries and introducing new technology.

Transportation companies have introduced systems for managing group expansion into other industries. Furthermore, they are creating and promoting new businesses, including new business development, business expansion through M&A, entry into the overseas infrastructure business, and research and testing of MaaS.
