In today’s era of digital transformation, the logistics sector is one of the most technology-intensive industries. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the IT infrastructure required for company operations, the types of enterprise software used in logistics, and current data collection technologies. It addresses the terminology, information flows, and application contexts of the necessary software, helping readers to see the big picture without being overwhelmed by technical details.

It explains principal methodologies for modelling and designing systems and describes the objectives of project management and system analysis, not to mention why they are so essential to developing information systems. It also defines critical terms before turning to sector-specific hardware and software solutions for logistics operations: data collection, data processing, and data analytics solutions. In addition, the book includes sections that introduce readers to programming and the core of the database, piquing their interest and guiding them to a higher level of specialization. Study questions are provided at the end of each chapter to test reader comprehension.

This book will be a helpful resource for students in logistics or professionals working in the fields of business administration, foreign trade, industrial engineering, ERP, or MIS who want to advance their knowledge and skills in the logistics industry.
