Disruptive technologies are transforming transport and mobility – and we’re just at the start of the journey.
A paradigm shift in how we live and work beckons, with tech advancements promising to make all our journeys fasters, cheaper, more convenient and sustainable.
And as exciting new opportunities emerge for the transportation of goods and people, alternative commercial models will be ushered in that shape the future of business.
Connecting the dots
The internet of things (IoT) has been a topic at the very fore of the tech world for some time, but its full potential is still to be realized.
Although businesses are investing in a wide variety of connected solutions, adoption has been somewhat stifled by interoperability limitations. Scalable deployment, in many areas of business tech, has struggled to take off beyond proof of concept.
The challenge remains one of commercial proclivity. Connected business must be driven, at least in part, from the bottom-up – innovations in connectivity must be business-led to succeed. Indeed, where the true value of the IoT is being demanded and unlocked, the market is accelerating.
Business transport is a case in point, where connected vehicles have already become so much more than simple modes of transport.
Connected commercial vehicles, underpinned by open telematics platforms and their application programming interfaces (APIs), sit at the very heart of Service 4.0 – the marriage of service business operations with smart digital systems.
Demand from fleet operators for greater automation of key business processes has led to data being harnessed like never before. Consequently, the impact on service provision, the flow of goods and the efficient use of transport resources is being felt far and wide.
Mobile workforces, out on the road, have been metaphorically glued digitally to back offices, and traditional business processes – from company HQs, depots or warehouses to customers – have been transformed.
