“…Reliable delivery services refer to delivering the right product in the right quantity to the right customer at the right place, time, and price (Salam, 2021 ). To enhance dispatch speed, accuracy, and cost-efficiency, RFID and IoT are used extensively in road transportation (Shah et al, 2020 ).…”

“…For example, data-intensive methods from Blue Yonder produce forecasts at the most granular levels e.g., forecasts of SKU levels for different points of sale, which logistics professionals can utilize to improve inventory accuracy and reduce obsolescence and stockouts (Choudhury et al, 2021 ). Additionally, with the usage of IoT and RFID technologies, information can be gathered and shared quickly and allows logistics professionals to further control stock movements, quantity, arrivals, and exits (Shah et al, 2020 ).…”

The speed of technology integration among businesses has accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the work-from-home arrangements and safe distancing regulations, prompting businesses to automate operations and digitalize work environments. These impacts have disrupted work environments and operational processes, and a fresh set of competencies is required to stay competent in this new normal. Consequently, there is a need to develop a state-of-the-art competency framework for logistics professionals during these trying times. This study has adopted the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses to review, identify, and update the emerging competencies required by logistics professionals. The relevant academic documents were narrowed down to 81 and were used to identify the emerging competencies relevant to Industry 4.0 and COVID-19. The competencies were subsequently categorized into four key domains i.e., business, logistics, digital, and personal competencies, with a total of 17 sub-domains. This state-of-the-art framework contributes to academic research by updating the existing competency frameworks. Future research can also build upon this holistic list of emerging competencies by utilizing it to reduce the competency gaps faced by those who are less technology savvy i.e., older logistics professionals. Additionally, future research can correlate the competency framework to organizational learning theories to improve the overall performance of logistics companies.

“…Internet of things (IoT) gives a clear coverage of visibility when storing and sharing information between departments which creates allowances for them to implement tracking, planning, and the control of all processes [37], [45]. Some enabling communications of IoT is done via radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology and this is aided by the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology.…”

“…Some enabling communications of IoT is done via radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology and this is aided by the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology. This technology can control all devices through a centralized network or cloud system in co-ordination with RFID, global positioning system (GPS) and sensors that receive information from the Internet of Things to initiate certain functions [37]. Logistics management will become smarter, more advanced and efficient throughout all of its working functions [37].…”

This paper presents an overview of challenges related to information management in reverse logistics and an overview of selected disruptive technologies (Internet of Things, Blockchain, Cloud computing and Artificial intelligence) that improve information management and information flow in the reverse logistics chain. The theoretical background of reverse logistics and selected disruptive technologies is provided. The goal of this paper is to research how information management in reverse logistics can be improved through the use of disruptive technologies. The research problem results from increased costs and insufficient prediction accuracy in the reverse logistics chain.
