Digitising Logistics Operations: Technology Tools for Modern Supply Chains (Online / Remote)
1Summary
A logistics team that still tracks shipments on paper or scattered spreadsheets will always be a step behind competitors running on real-time software. This Arab British Fellowship Training Academy course is built around that shift, showing participants how information technology is reshaping logistics operations, from inventory control to service delivery.
As global trade splits production and distribution across multiple countries, logistics departments now operate under the umbrella of integrated information systems. Participants explore how adopting modern technology reduces service errors, speeds up performance, and expands the productive capacity of a logistics department.
