Abstract
Modern logistics requires companies which implement ease of access, quick information processing, and security conditions in their enterprises. The foundation of this transformation lies in transportation processes that prioritize customer demands for reduced transit times, product availability, and efficient delivery. Modern systems encompass transportation exchanges, as well as tools like TMS (Transportation Management Systems), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), and Truck & Tracing systems. These systems enable logistics professionals to navigate the entire logistics process chain. In the present day, companies are adopting a project management approach to develop innovative solutions for their operations. According to the Project Management Institute (PMI) market research, project management practitioners widely embrace agile principles as an effective project management technique. By utilizing TMS, ERP, warehouse control systems, and other automated planning, organizing, and control tools for logistics activities, businesses can drive operational improvements. In the future, businesses will establish global networks that leverage cyber-physical systems encompassing machinery, warehouse systems, and production facilities. This research aims to explore how companies are implementing new agile approaches in their logistics and supply chain services, as well as the impact of logistics 4.0 and logistics 5.0 on businesses and customer service. In this research, more samples from the industries are examined and a comprehensive literature review regarding logistics and supply chain are presented.
