Abstract: Digital transformation of logistics has emerged into the lexicon of the industry but lacks definition and actionable tactics. This paper offers a definition of the term and creates a context for how investments in software and hardware solutions can be applied as a strategy toward a more interoperable logistics community. Tactics and implementation strategies are described along with examples of past, current and future digital transformation initiatives from different facets of logistics. Tactics and strategies are shared with the intent to better prepare organisations to take advantage of the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) that are evolving rapidly.
