Maestracci, Dr Aria (2021): An Analysis of the Hypes, Realities, and Opportunities Associated With Digital Freight Business Models. Published in: Journal of Cyber Security Technology and Management , Vol. 2, No. 2 (15 January 2021): pp. 8-13.

Abstract

As a result of extensive research and studies conducted recently on digital freight models and how they are likely to revolutionize the entire freight industry in the near future, researchers have done a lot of research and studies about these digital freight models. The digital freight models that are being introduced today are nothing new. In fact, several of these products have been on the market since the late 80's, but most of them have failed due to the fact that the technology was not yet mature enough to meet the real-time needs of the industry at the time the product was introduced. During the past few years, there have been quite a few changes and improvements in the freight industry as a result of the advancement of technology and research. Now there are dozens of different types of freight models available that all have a variety of different options and attributes to choose from. There are so many different types of freight models available today that it can be difficult for even the most experienced individual to keep track of them all because there are so many to choose from. As a result of the digital transformation of the freight industry, shippers of all types are able to build an internal logistics capability that can be used in the future.
