AI and automation are becoming standard across 3PL operations. The advantage increasingly lies in how effectively they’re put to work.
New research from Elastic Solutions, sponsored by Datex, reveals how 100+ 3PL professionals are using these technologies, where they’re seeing results, and what challenges remain.
The Execution Advantage examines what separates technology adoption from measurable 3PL performance.
Inside, you’ll discover:
What’s really driving 3PL investment in AI and automation
- What’s driving 3PL investment in AI and automation.
- Where 3PLs are seeing gains and where ROI confidence lags
- How automation is reshaping warehouse work
- What customers expect from technology-enabled 3PLs
- Why the WMS foundation matters as AI and automation expand
83% of respondents report increased warehouse throughput from automation and advanced WMS capabilities. Yet only 33% are confident or very confident they’ll achieve positive ROI within their projected implementation timeline.
The question for 3PLs is no longer what technology to adopt. It’s how to turn those investments into greater operational and business value.
