As we step into 2021, the logistics industry is slowly expected to return to its full pre-COVID levels. The trucking and warehousing sector is also anticipated to gradually go bacl to normal over the course of the new year. But, with the shock and awe and potential learnings behind, logistics players are trying to figure out new ways to build on capabilities and accelerate activity as they make the move from here. Additionally, last-mile and hyper local deliveries will continue to grow at a rapid pace as e-retail continues to thrive. Storage and fulfilment opportunities will also increase as companies tend to get closer to customers.

India’s logistics sector was booming even before the turbulent events of this year. COVID-19 and the consequent impact on internet sales have served to fuel the sector's growth. Face-to-face interactions were limited, and businesses were forced to embrace technology to move online.
Despite the conditions in 2020, areas such as food and grocery delivery were mushrooming. We saw micro fulfilment making inroads, driven by the e-retail boom and escalating demand for last-mile delivery service. All these things will continue to increase in 2021. COVID has just paved the way for growth.
Logistics businesses are rethinking their approach to systems and processes and technology adoption, not only to effectively navigate unimagined scenarios but also smarter ways of operating in the ‘new normal’. For instance, organisations will adopt solutions that cover various aspects of ‘flexi-work’ environment with the help of platforms to manage and secure remote engagement and also support communications and collaboration.
However, during the pandemic, businesses saw how stretched supply chains pose several disadvantages and could break at any point. When this happens, it disrupts the delivery of goods, creating a domino effect. Businesses are hurt, and consumers are forced to either wait or be resource less.
To prevent this problem in the new normal, manufacturing companies have to reduce dependency on a single source of supply. Companies should look sourcing raw materials and supply ingredients from multiple manufacturers that offer the same quality. A ‘vocal for local’ movement has now become a necessity for both business and human survival. At the same time, companies should consider investing in resources that shortens the supply chain, helping deliver shipments at the soonest possible time.
No doubt, the future of supply chain and logistics will be defined by seamless digital connections between human to human (procurement to distribution) and internet-enabled devices (yard management to real-time visibility).
More storage sheds in prime locations
Traditional locations for logistics centres (i.e. tier I cities and on urban boundaries) are no longer enough to cover demands for last-mile deliveries and reverse logistics. More warehouses will be needed close to tier II and III towns. As a result, we may see increased mixed-use solutions, including in some instances residential combined with urban logistics.
Additionally, e-commerce has been the major driver of innovation in warehousing and the idea of setting up warehouses in the middle of a city will fulfil the requirement of being able to be as close to the customer as possible.
E-commerce firms are ramping up warehousing and logistical operations with a sharp focus on smaller cities and towns, expecting an uptick in sales in the coming festive season amid a pandemic cloud.
A quicker rebound in online sales after the lockdown, along with higher demand from buyers and on-boarding of more sellers in tier II and III towns, is prompting e-commerce companies to take up larger warehouses in a multi-city expansion strategy.
“Owing to robust demand of e-commerce and other consumer-led goods in smaller cities, the warehousing segment is likely to bounce back quicker than other segments, as developers are keen on setting up fulfilment centres and Grade A warehouses to help absorb the demand,” says Abhijit Malkani, Co-CEO and Country Head, ESR India.
“We anticipate a rising demand in speculative buildings in the coming months due to the delay caused by the pandemic. We foresee multi-level warehousing to gain prominence.”
“The pandemic has led to a surge in grocery commerce and delivery of essentials. Time is of the essence in such formats; hence in-city distribution is the need of the hour.”
“Companies want to adopt automation to further increase their efficiency, consolidate their businesses, and enhance safety initiatives and contactless business processes, and Grade A spaces are more adaptive for such implementations. Modern tech-powered warehouses will rule the roost, pushing inferior grade properties down the demand pyramid. These spaces will remain in demand in key tier I and II cities,” Malkani continues.
Infusion of analytics and intelligence to connect people to parcels
As consumer behaviour changes post COVID-19 and amid uncertainty, major industry players will change services and offerings. This will require transporters or trucking industry players to support their customers with new offerings and delivery models. For instance, focus on handling capacity by resource maximisation, reducing cost by improving assets utilisation, and improving efficiency by route optimisation.
The need is to reposition their operational framework to enhance visibility, enable digital operations, and ensure safe logistics operations to cope with the changes in the new normal.
IoT-driven location tracking technology is transforming the transportation industry, giving logistics companies greater ability to manage their fleets and improve efficiencies. It is not surprising to know that the adoption of IoT technologies in the logistics industry will continue to grow with a CAGR of 13.6 percent through 2024.
Using analytics and data-driven machine learning, route optimisation identifies the most efficient delivery route possible based on variables such as traffic congestion, distance, turns and intersections. These in turn would enable logistics companies to reduce vehicle maintenance and fuel costs, save time and improve customer satisfaction.
Also, smart dispatching which is enabled by fastening IoT sensors to trucks helps to collect wealth of valuable data about a fleet, and using smart tags to create a coordinated communication system between shipments, vehicles and dispatchers. This enables logistics companies to track driver performance and generate reports, assess areas for improvement, and respond to emergencies faster.
“The growing adoption of cloud-based software, innovations as a result of more connected technologies that use application programming interface (API) to integrate into transportation management system (TMS) and the ongoing push to improve information sharing and transparency across all levels of logistics operations will further drive customer service levels,” says Uday R Sharma, COO, Spoton Logistics.
“Modern day shippers look for constant supply of reliable carriers real-time insights. They also want extensive visibility into the consignment’s journey at the piece level.”
“For instance, we have developed an in-house AI model called ‘Reinforced Learning’ to drive network efficiency. The AI engine, using live and legacy operation details related to the customer, enables quicker deliveries, allows efficient fleet utilisation and faster reaction to operational issues and dynamic customer requests, more effectively. Besides increasing the efficiency of Spoton’s pan-India network, this AI engine is also helping improve overall kilometers travelled by our trucks,” says Sharma.
“Whether it’s in the logistics, e-commerce retail or any other industry, using data is not a choice anymore. The kind of complexities that exist and the very thin margins of error, data is the only way out to plan things well,” says Aditya Shah, Executive Director, V-Trans (India).
“Predictive analytics gives you more confidence on your business strategy. You can check multiple times in your train and test data at what confidence level and accuracy you want to move ahead. Specifically, in e-commerce logistics, there are many areas where data helps, be it inventory routing, location optimisation, demand and delivery forecasting, predictive modelling, and more.”
In the last couple of years, Shah says, “We have built our decisions completely on data-backed predictive models with accuracy of 95% and above. This has really helped us in many areas of network expansion, business development, enhancing service levels, ultimately impacting the bottom line positively.”
The automated warehouse force
The new normal will require operations to be adjusted and regulated at distribution centres and hubs to minimise physical contacts, handle labour shortages and improve efficiencies to make products available at the right place at the right time.
Implementing goods-to-person concept or robotics-based picking will help in near touchless operations to handle inventory, as well as plays a key role in warehouse management through the prediction of rotation of supplies. Rise in e-tailing will require switch in processes at warehouses to enhance order fulfilment capabilities for each picking, as we enter tomorrow.
At present, logistics companies seek to be more 'elastic' to cope with demand spikes or falls caused by high-profile events or seasonal variations. Companies are looking to employ robots in any way they can throughout their operations—from manufacturing to warehousing and distribution, where they perform picking, packing, put-away, and truck-loading tasks. The objective is to bring the handling costs down by maximising the throughput. Innovative automation must be used to meet the objective of serving customers quickly as required, and at the same time, keep the costs under control.
“Hygiene standard improvements are imperative. With physical distancing norms in place and when industry was facing a labour crunch due to migration, dependence on automation has definitely helped,” says Jasjit Sethi, CEO, TCI Supply Chain Solutions.
“I certainly believe that automation now will be a business continuity consideration along with commercial consideration to accommodate for operating during unprecedented circumstances like today. To avoid any possible spread, the inkling is towards reducing the number of touch points in handling of cargo, thus automation becomes crucial here.”
“With above, palletisation of cargo throughout the supply chain will improve to facilitate automated handling that shall ultimately contribute to lower handling time and cost. Incorporation of conveyor systems, robotic handling, use of drones, etc. is also expected to catch momentum,” says Sethi.
“Automation in warehousing is inevitable and COVID-19 has only accelerated the need for automation. Post-pandemic, for warehouse operators and logistics companies, distribution, manufacturing and supply chain processes have changed very quickly,” says C V Kumar, CEO, CCI Logistics.
“As warehouses have become large in size, automation in picking has become a necessity than a luxury. These days, warehouses have a very large throughput, and only automation makes it possible to run efficiently. It’s seen as a combination of both commercial requirement and business continuity.”
According to Kumar, while it’s certainly true that things like automation and robotics can save a company sizable amounts of cash, one has got to be willing to heavily invest first. The downside is that much of the technology on the hardware side is still fairly expensive to install and integrate.
Solving the last-mile
Resolving last-mile inefficiencies will remain a key focus for logistics companies in 2021. If we closely monitor the situation of the coronavirus induced lockdown, last-mile delivery of essentials has been one of the most sought-after service and even the trickiest to be managed of all.
Be it the essentials or the important non-essentials, there is a massive stress on the economy around supply chain. The supply chain logistics will need to be strong in order to endure such an upscale. Innovative solutions driven by technology, its integration and standardisation will further enable logistics providers in fulfiling last-mile delivery.
As the demands get higher and the e-commerce industry adopts more technically advanced solutions, logistics providers too, have a great opportunity to reinvent their offerings in assuring better consumer experience. Tech-enabled logistics players are bound to become catalysts in improving the last-mile delivery experience, something which has the potential to make or break the industry earnings.
The end consumer experience at the last-mile touch point is the moment that defines and spurs the growth of e-commerce industry.
“The rapid growth of e-commerce is driving deep changes in the area of logistics, from tightening up trucking capacity to raising the importance of last-mile delivery processes. To counter that, logistics companies now need to leverage diverse systems and figure out new ways of thinking in an effort to improve carrier partnerships and increase speed and efficiency,” says Rubal Jain, MD, Safexpress.
“We pride ourselves in being the only organisation scanning every package at every point in the network, enabling capturing of real-time information at all stages of movement and completing 100 per cent deliveries through last-mile tablets.”
Safexpress, Jain says, have digitised its entire shipment process and integrated it with a robust ERP solution, bringing down cost, increasing time efficiency and enhancing last-mile visibility. “With extensive digitisation, today, everyone- from the hub manager to the CEO, gets clear visibility of the supply chain, and the company leverage insights on types of shipment, time taken for transit, misrouted packets, etc. And because the GPS can also be tracked by customers on the company’s website and mobile app portals, the delivery boy cannot falsely claim to say that the premises were closed without even going there.”
Singapore Changi Airport experienced a significant boost in air cargo volumes for the second quarter of 2024, handling 485,000 tonnes of airfreight from April to June. This represents a 16% increase compared to the same period last year. The growth is attributed to robust shipment flows between Singapore and major markets including the US and China. Changi Airport Group highlighted that the increase was seen across all cargo categories—exports, imports, and transhipments. The airport’s top five air cargo markets for the period were Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, and the United States. In the year-to-date, Changi Airport has processed a total of 960,000 tonnes of airfreight. The first quarter of 2024 also saw strong performance, with 475,000 tonnes handled, driven by high transhipment activity, particularly with China. Key sectors contributing to the cargo throughput include pharmaceuticals, perishables, e-commerce, and advanced materials like semiconductors. Notable airlines operating cargo flights at Changi include Spice Express, Tasman Cargo Airlines, Atlas Air, DHL Express, and Singapore Airlines, which collaborate on cargo operations. As of July 1, Changi Airport boasts 94 airlines operating over 6,900 weekly scheduled flights, linking Singapore to 158 cities across 50 countries and territories globally. This extensive network supports Changi’s role as a major international cargo hub. The airport’s continued growth in air cargo volumes underscores its importance as a critical logistics and transportation hub in the global supply chain.
AP Moller – Maersk is strengthening its operations in Bangladesh, where it has been serving the country and its exporters connect to the global market for almost three decades. Bangladesh has been one of the most important sourcing markets for the garments and apparel industry worldwide. The garment manufacturers exporting to global markets have significantly contributed towards building the country’s economy. Despite the impressive growth of garments exports from Bangladesh, the number of warehouses in Chattogram have not increased since 2012, with the sole exception of ISATL that became operational in 2018. Optimising utilisation of available capacity assisted to an extent, however it did not scale enough to meet the trade’s requirements. The logistics ecosystem and the Chittagong Port get stretched, particularly during the peak seasons. In 2021, a fallout of this structural challenge was felt by all the stakeholders involved in EXIM trade when the Container Freight Stations (CFSs) got clogged with cargo resulting in delayed clearance, stuffing and consequently dispatch of containers to the port. Delay in offloading cargo also led to longer truck waiting time, and delay in dispatch of containers to the port, consequently resulting in lack of overall productivity. These challenges have serious consequences on the overall economy of the country given the fact that the Chittagong Port handles in excess of 90 per cent of the total containerised trade to and from Bangladesh. Recognising these challenges, Maersk Bangladesh has partnered with Ispahani Summit Alliance Terminal Limited (ISATL) to build a 200,000 sq ft custom bonded warehouse. ISATL are pioneers in constructing and operating warehouses and CFS and operate four CFS within Chattogram and the River Terminal at Dhaka. Under the scope of this partnership, ISATL will construct a brand new custom bonded warehouse within the existing premises of the facility located at Pathortoli in Chattogram. The new warehouse will double the existing capacity at ISATL and add around 8 per cent additional space to the existing ecosystem at Chattogram. The construction of the new CFS has already commenced and is expected to be completed in a phased manner by the end of 2022. Bangladesh’s exporters and their overseas buyers will be able to start using the facility from July 2022, once the first phase of construction is completed. “Maersk’s commitment to connect and simplify our customers’ supply chains means that we look at long term solutions for problems such as the longstanding congestion within the ecosystem. We tackled the situation in 2021 by deploying an additional vessel for evacuating export loaded containers,” said Angshuman Mustafi, Managing Director, Maersk Bangladesh. “The solutions provided immediate relief to the ecosystem, but there was a need for a comprehensive solution to optimise ocean shipping, port handling and inland logistics that would benefit trade in the long term. By partnering with ISALT, we are establishing a facility that has the potential to partially decongest the system from the landside and streamline the flow of cargo in and out of Bangladesh.” Apart from adding capacity, the facility will offer several other benefits to Bangladesh’s exports. Amongst others, the new facility is being built by benchmarking international best practices when it comes to safety and other compliance guidelines. It will be modern multi-storeyed facility in Chattogram which will have storage at G+2 levels, thus making optimal use of available space to maximise the capacity. There will be an option to offer pallets for all operations, thereby improving the overall operational efficiency. Maersk will also offer customers Garment on Hanger facility, sorting, product audit, labelling, bar code and RFID scanning amongst others. “We are proud to partner with Maersk on this exciting long term project where ISATL’s extensive local experience combined with Maersk’s international best practices will allow us to create a truly world-class facility that will help raise the standards for the entire industry,” said Yasser Rizvi, Managing Director, ISATL.
Indian importers and exporters are grappling with significant cargo delays at Mundra Port, the country’s leading container trade hub. Local trade sources have voiced serious concerns about the worsening congestion at Mundra’s container terminals in recent weeks. "The terminals at Mundra now seem to be hugely congested, and the pendency has increased to levels affecting the normal movement of boxes between CFSs and terminals," stated the Container Freight Station Association Mundra in a complaint. The association added, "All the efforts put in by CFSs are not witnessing any improvement, but are rather finding that the situation is deteriorating further." A recent change in the process of issuing port entry permits for freight vehicles by the port authority has been identified as a major source of frustration. According to freight station owners, truckers are experiencing longer waits to move containers due to difficulties in securing entry permits promptly. "Vehicles are stranded on the road for hours together because of this. A corrective measure needs to be discussed with our members and worked out so as to ensure that movement continues without any hassles," explained the CFS association. The congestion has also frustrated container rail operators, as ICD (inland container depot) volumes constitute a significant portion of Mundra’s trade. The Association of Container Train Operators (ACTO) noted in a trade advisory, "There has been increased congestion at Mundra Port due to delays in effectively evacuating import containers in FIFO [first-in, first-out] sequence on time, despite trains being provided for clearance by container train operators [CTOs]." ACTO indicated that Indian Railways has restricted double-stack loading to expedite train evacuation from the port, resulting in additional ground rent charges for traders. Mundra, Adani Ports’ flagship entity, managed 7.4 million TEUs in the fiscal year 2023-24, marking a 15% increase over Nhava Sheva Port. With volumes rapidly expanding, the Adani Group is considering further investment to enhance capacity. "We continue to invest heavily in the business to drive growth, particularly in the logistics segment," stated Adani in a recent announcement.

Trade shows are mission-critical, high-investment events where logistics execution directly influences marketing ROI. Exhibitors spend months preparing for a few days on the floor, since a single missed delivery window can jeopardise the entire programme. In this environment, Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) trade show logistics is no longer just transportation; it is an orchestration of timing, compliance, risk control, and venue-specific expertise. While standard LTL carriers can handle general freight, elite trade show shippers excel because they are built for the ecosystem — understanding drayage, marshalling yards, target windows, live-loading rules, equipment constraints, and the high-value nature of exhibits. This updated guide unpacks the differentiators that set the best providers apart, enhanced with additional dimensions such as KPIs, risk mitigation frameworks, technology adoption, sustainability practices, and a practical vendor-evaluation checklist. The Key Differentiators of Elite Trade Show Shippers When shipping general freight, a standard LTL carrier may be sufficient. However, event logistics demand a higher level of specialised service. The top trade show shippers possess four key differentiators that distinguish them from the rest. Proactive and Specialised Support Trade shows operate on rigid move-in schedules tied to booth size, dock flow, and decorator rules. The strongest providers deploy dedicated trade show teams who can interpret show manuals, coordinate with decorators, and time deliveries to avoid re-handling fees. Best-in-class partners also: Pre-audit documentation and labels to avoid show-site rejections Manage drayage coordination to reduce dwell and material-handling charges Offer pre-receiving and staging at regional facilities for smoother Day-1 move-ins This advisory-driven model transforms logistics from a cost center into a risk-mitigation service. Flexible Coordination and Network Access Because no two events are alike, trade show logistics demand configurable access to LTL, FTL, hot-shot, air, and international capacity. Top providers match service levels, route constraints, and budget requirements by tapping into broad asset and partner networks. A sophisticated network allows for: Expedited or guaranteed-capacity moves for high-stakes shows Cost-effective options for booth materials that can stage early Lane-specific equipment (air-ride, liftgate, climate-controlled) This flexibility becomes essential during peak show seasons when capacity is tight and timelines narrow. Guaranteed Performance and Asset Protection Event deadlines are immovable. Leading providers commit to guaranteed on-time service, narrow ETA bands, and contingency planning across linehaul and last-mile execution. They also emphasise exhibit protection through: Air-ride suspension fleets Strapping, padding, and vibration-control practices Secure transport protocols for prototypes and LED/AV assets With show participation costs rising, damage and delay prevention become competitive differentiators. End-to-End Visibility and Services Real-time visibility is no longer optional. Tocay, exhibitors rely on it to make staffing, booth-build, and drayage decisions. The best LTL partners deliver: Live tracking from pickup to booth delivery API connectivity with exhibitor dashboards Pre-emptive exception alerts and delay recovery paths For international events, leading providers integrate customs documentation, Carnet handling, temporary import permits, and venue-specific rules, ensuring frictionless handoffs across borders. What Are the Best LTL Logistics Companies for Trade Shows? Several providers exemplify these differentiators. The following firms are selected based on their demonstrated strength in specialised show support, performance-oriented service design, event fluency, flexible coordination and comprehensive offerings that cover pre-show to teardown. 1. Green River Logistics Solutions A brokerage-led model with deep carrier reach, making it ideal for exhibitors with varied lane structures.

This table offers a quick comparison of their key service features to help you align their strengths with your specific needs. New Strategic Enhancements Added for a Modern Exhibitor’s Playbook Technology Advancements Worth Evaluating AI-assisted ETA predictions Digital drayage coordination tools IoT-enabled condition monitoring for AV and prototype freight Automated warehouse cut-off compliance checks Risk-Mitigation Practices That Matter Pre-show risk audits Contingency rerouting plans Venue-specific compliance checklists High-value cargo insurance design Sustainability Expectations from Today’s Exhibitors Low-emission or EV linehaul and last-mile options Carbon-neutral freight programs Reusable or recyclable crating solutions Emissions dashboards linked to booth shipments Performance Metrics That Define Best-in-Class Providers On-time delivery to target windows Damage-free shipment percentage Visibility uptime SLA Drayage handoff accuracy Exception-resolution response time How to Vet Your Trade Show Logistics Partner Applying the key differentiators includes asking potential partners the right questions. When your program includes international stops, ask about their documentation process, how they manage Carnets and how visibility will work across handoffs. The following can further validate fit and execution discipline: What is your detailed experience with my venue and decorator? Can you guarantee delivery within target-window constraints? What risk-mitigation plan is activated if my freight misses staging cutoff? What specialised equipment will you use for fragile or custom exhibits? How do you integrate with drayage contractors and marshaling yards? Which visibility tools and tracking integrations are available? Can you manage international customs documentation end-to-end? What sustainability options can be applied to my show calendar? Your Partner Is Your Most Critical Exhibit A logistics provider is more than a freight handler; they are the enabler of your presence on the show floor. The right LTL partner combines timing discipline, technical fluency, equipment strength, and venue intelligence to protect your brand and maximise your event ROI. Elite trade show shippers don’t just move freight; they orchestrate flawless show execution.
