CartonCloud Logistics Index Q1 2023 two years of data

Inside the previous CCLI report findings

Innovative technology is in the spotlight, and it’s not just larger companies who are investing— as American logistics companies strive to navigate economic instability and meet increasing customer demands. The CCLI Q1 2023 report highlighted a strong intent across both warehouse and transport companies seeking to invest in new, innovative technology such as machine learning and 3D resource planning.

Tech investment is no longer on the horizon — it is now a key focus for many companies across America, bringing software integrations and tech stack planning to the fore for many businesses. The CCLI Q1 2023 report highlighted how businesses across the supply chain are looking to invest in technology solutions to overcome economic conditions while meeting customer demands in the coming year.

Of over 1,800 respondents in the Q1 CCLI survey, 

  • 27% said their business would be likely to invest in artificial intelligence/ machine learning in the coming months, 
  • 26% in 3D resource planning,
  • and 23% in robotics and automation.
“We’re seeing companies of all sizes gaining access to niche and specialized technology,” said CartonCloud COO/ Head of North America Shaun Hagen.
“This quarter’s report highlighted how companies are utilizing multiple software platforms to build unique tech stacks that reflect the needs of their companies and their customers.
“With the digitization of our industry, it’s becoming more important for companies to understand their tech stack (the software systems they use) and how they integrate, to ensure smooth and streamlined data capture and sharing across platforms.”
