With rapid economic development across the globe, the need for well established transport and logistics systems is paramount.

One of the major factors contributing to the growth of this industry is IT spend. In 2008, the industry saw US $7.5 billion worth of expenditure globally. In India, it is estimated that IT spend within the transport and logistics sector is likely to almost double over the next five years-from US $78.60 million in 2008 to approximately US $152 million in 2013.  Moreover, direct and indirect employment in this industry is expected to increase in both the public and the private segments.

For firms to take advantage of growth opportunities, they will need to ensure that their information systems and delivery solutions fit the needs of their customers.
