Logistics Index
In logistics, data-led decision-making is integral to building a strong business. At CartonCloud, we’re proud to be logistics people and be part of an industry that keeps our communities moving. The CartonCloud Logistics Index provides up-to-date insights and actionable data year-round, for members of the logistics industry to use in forecasting, reviews, and growth planning.
Our inaugural report explored what activities businesses were planning for growth in the coming 12 months, the biggest challenges they expected to face, current business capacity, and technology adoption across operations.
The Q1 Survey also provided a benchmark to track industry sentiment in future reports, calculating sentiment based on optimism for business growth and hiring potential in the coming months, combined with current views on the economic climate.
Q1 snapshot: Despite positive attitudes towards the economy and business performance, the logistics industry is not without its challenges. Increasing operating costs were the main challenge faced by most (50%) businesses followed by driver and workforce shortages (42.5%).
