Abstract

In today’s fast-evolving logistics landscape, meeting customer demands for accuracy, speed, and reliability requires advanced digital solutions. Transport technologies—particularly in domestic/international land and air cargo—are pivotal to optimizing supply chain resilience and sustainability. This study evaluates the role of digital tools (e.g., transportation management modules) in enhancing operational efficiency and workforce readiness. Through hands-on training in industry-standard software, logistics students developed critical competencies in transport process digitization. Data collected via post-training surveys and analyzed with SPSS revealed significant improvements in their technical skills and employability. The findings highlight the transformative potential of integrating transport-focused digital solutions into supply chain education, with broader implications for warehouse management, route optimization, and end-to-end visibility. Recommendations emphasize scaling such technological training to bridge the gap between academia and industry needs in sustainable logistics.
