Logistics on the whole, incorporates outbound and inbound supply chain & manufacturing segments in India. And these sectors are hugely fragmented. There is no proper regulatory structure to govern or control the industry!
Though Indian trucking is pegged to almost $130 billion market with around 6 million vehicles on road, broadly speaking, it's cudgeling brains over issues, such as
•Storage and warehouse management issues
•Poor infrastructure
•Middlemen meddling with your operations
•No control over drivers and their HOS(Hours of Service)
•Untimely deliveries
•Availability of transporters
This clearly showcases the current scene in Indian trucking industry. It’s highly fragmented, unorganized and lack communication. Despite of a whopping 4.7% contribution to our GDP, logistics management still have loop holes and hence incapable of delivering its share.
So there is an innate need to develop a disruptive solution that can tackle problems related to IT, warehouse management, networking, communication and complete logistics control. And some logistics startups aggregators are gearing up to finally streamline the unorganized trucking business. Companies like Trukky, GoGoVan,etc. are shoving the fragmented trucking in the country with logistics management apps.
