The Impact of E-Commerce on Transport Services

Information technology has had a considerable impact on transportation services. E-commerce has become the norm for ordering, purchasing, invoicing, warehousing, shipping, insurance, customs clearance, distribution, wholesaling and retailing. This new supply chain requires efficient and effective exchange of information. But the transport and logistics services have not kept up with these changes. It is important to bring these services up to the new standard. This requires a sound information system to provide fast and reliable information flow between all parties.
