August 2025
For years, the freight forwarding industry has been slower than most sectors to adopt new technology. And it’s not without reason; there are countless moving parts, stakeholders, and regulations to manage, making the idea of “full digitization” seem more like a long-term dream than a short-term reality.
But the industry is changing fast. Soon, fully digital freight operations won’t be a competitive advantage. They’ll be the baseline expectation. And the forwarders who fail to adapt risk being left behind.
The Reality Freight Forwarders Must Face
Your Customers Have Changed
The majority of shippers and consignees today are Millennials or Generation Z. These are digitally native generations who expect:
- Real-time shipment updates
- Self-service portals
- Instant communication with service providers
If your systems can’t deliver this, your competitors will.
Your Competitors Are Evolving
Forwarders who have embraced technology are already offering:
- Faster, more accurate quotes
- Transparent tracking from pickup to delivery
- Seamless communication between all parties
This isn’t just about efficiency, it’s about winning (and keeping) new business.
