Top Logistics Tech Companies in the US to Watch

What is supply chain technology? Digitization of the what? These were the common questions investors had just three years ago when they were still unfamiliar with innovations in the logistics space.
Fast forward to the post-COVID era where on-demand commerce has disrupted e-commerce in ways we could have never imagined. To remain competitive in this new world order, it is a must for businesses with core logistics to ramp up their investments in all things tech. Fortunately for them, there has been a huge flow of capital into the logistics-tech sector in recent years, despite the difficult economic situation resulting from the pandemic.
This year’s list of top companies to watch includes a great mix of high-growth scale-ups, small creative startups, and everything in between. In this round, we have focused on firms based in the United States. Check them out below!
