DHL reveals the Sharing Economy is shaking up logistics

DHL reveals in a new Trend Report that embracing digital platforms and business models built around sharing not owning assets presents a significant future opportunity for the logistics industry. The report provides insights to help understand the Sharing Economy, best practices from other industries, and presents practical applications. Sharing of warehousing space, transport capacities, operational data, and staffing are just some of the examples where the Sharing Economy could be effectively employed in logistics. It could be applied across all parts of the logistics value chain to improve or change logistics operations – as well as create new businesses (Press Release DHL, 9 May 2017).
