Business during COVID-19

 

Journalists checked whether a pandemic will affect the acceleration of robotization in the TSL industry. We learn from the article that Deloitte company already pointed to a significant increase in employee productivity thanks to automation in 2019. A similar opinion is quoted from the expert, “ The pandemic showed that digitization, remote work on a mass scale and relying more on new technologies can be effective, and often may be the only way out,” says the director of Contract Logistics Fresh Logistics Polska, Raben Group, Jarosław Gulowaty.
