The digitalization of logistics has occupied a prominent position on the agenda to eliminate inefficiencies and reduce environmental impact. Finland has even announced a Logistics Digitalization Strategy at the end of last year. Their goal is to move towards efficient and sustainable logistics by means of digitalization. To achieve this, they want to facilitate open cooperation and collective understanding of the benefits generated by digitalization of logistics. We asked Pekka Lehtinen, Managing Director Finland at Consafe Logistics how a [WMS](https://www.consafelogistics.com/knowledge-center/blog/what-is-a-warehouse-management-system-wms/?hsLang=en) can support this strategy.

## WMS boosts digitalization of logistics

The logistics industry has always been a crucial part of the society and its importance has been proven once again during the COVID-10 pandemic. Not only for the distribution of medical equipment, but also for ordering consumer goods in a time that the accessibility of stores was limited. Logistics will only become more embedded into our lives, which means that it needs to be more sustainable and fitting to our digital environment.

Digitalization is the only way the logistics industry can become part of the future. And a WMS is one of the solutions that can accelerate and underline the digitalization of logistics. An important part of this strategy is to improve the management and use of data where a WMS facilitates this by:

Data stands at the core of a WMS which is then used to report, calculate, share, and steer the logistics operation. This enabled Hub Logistics to achieve 99.96% delivery accuracy for the 7000 to 11000 order lines that they process daily. Efficiency improvements is one way of using a WMS, but it can also be utilized to improve customer value. Ahlsell Finland is an example of that, as they have decreased customer complaints by 80% after implementing their WMS.
