Local logistics firm adopts digital technology

MOST logistics companies planned on digitizing their operations before the Covid-19 pandemic, but the implementation was at a snail's pace. The coronavirus emergency exposed the fragility of the existing supply chain systems. Fortunately, the pandemic is doing an excellent job of accelerating the digitization of the industry.

"The Covid-19 sped up the rollout of the digitization plans," said Beth Umali, chief operating officer at Le Soleil International Logistics Co. She added Le Soleil spent the last year under strict lockdown conditions to reinvent itself and adopt digital technologies to modify its business model and provide new revenue and value-producing opportunities.
