The automotive aftermarket is changing fast. Electric vehicles, self-driving cars, ride sharing, and continuing industry consolidation stand to have a major impact on independent dealers and auto service chains. There will be winners and losers and many companies will be faced with a “grow or go” decision.

Well-run businesses know that outsourcing non-core functions to other service providers empowers them to focus, grow and excel in their own marketplace, by leveraging the expertise of others who excel at what they do.

Efficient and secure supply chains are critical to the movement of goods around the globe touching industries ranging from aerospace to food to pharmaceuticals.

Physical assets such as warehouses, trucks, planes, ships, and rail cars are essential underpinnings to supply chains. However, technology continues to play an increasingly important role throughout well-functioning supply chains enabling many of the current trends in distribution and logistics.
