Logistics firms face IT skills gap

[ April 15, 2024   //   ]

Almost two thirds of logistics companies report a shortage of digital talent, according to research by internet access providers Neos Networks.

It found that fewer than two in five logistics companies consider their employee skillset well-placed for digital growth.

Neos Networks surveyed business leaders and decision-makers from UK logistics companies to explore the role connectivity has to play in the industry and assess its  readiness for wider digital transformation.

David Bruce, customer relationships officer at Neos Networks, said: “A shortage in digital skills acts as a barrier to innovation and efficiency in the logistics sector, ultimately restricting growth in a digital-first world. Investing in digital education and infrastructure is imperative to create a culture of innovation, ensuring the UK at the forefront of global logistics. Collaboration between industry leaders, digital experts, and government is needed to overcome the digital divide and unlock a digital-first approach for the logistics sector.”
