The advantages and difficulties of robotic process automation (RPA) in the logistics sector.

In 2024, a survey by APQC found that 82% of supply chain leaders prioritize logistics, with a strong focus on inventory management and its optimization. Many organizations are considering automation to enhance processes, particularly through robotic process automation (RPA), which enables autonomous task completion based on business rules. The survey indicates that nearly 25% of companies have already adopted RPA in logistics, the highest among supply chain functions, while an additional two-thirds are likely to implement it soon.
