Seventy percent of executives now rank the new-generation supply chain among their top three technology trends, and sector transformation climbed from 54% in 2022 to 72% in 2025. Those numbers point to a deeper shift: logistics operations no longer compete on cost alone, but on resilience and visibility. Here is what that means for anyone managing fleets and assets.
From efficiency to resilience
For years the goal was lower costs and shorter lead times. Today the priority is withstanding the unexpected: logistics bottlenecks, unpredictable costs, tariff pressure and supplier instability. According to the Capgemini Research Institute, the organizations leading this change treat resilience as an ongoing discipline rather than a one-off response to a crisis.
- Active risk management against disruptions.
- Supplier diversification to reduce dependencies.
- Real-time threat monitoring, cybersecurity included.
Real-time visibility and intelligent orchestration
The study, based on 1,000 executives across 13 countries and four sectors, describes a supply chain coordinated in real time on a unified data layer. Sixty-seven percent believe agentic AI will boost productivity and 58% say it will transform supply chain frameworks. The core idea is to align planning and execution in the same moment, instead of reacting hours or days later.
For a fleet, that visibility starts with the asset: knowing where each vehicle is, in what condition and under which circumstances lets the rest of the chain make decisions based on real information.
Reliable data as the foundation
None of these capabilities work without solid data. The report stresses building trustworthy data foundations, with cybersecurity protocols and clear governance for human-centered AI. Sustainability is gaining ground too: 76% of organizations already have a comprehensive strategy, and most agree that sustainable practices cut costs over the long term.
The EsencialGPS platform lets you centralize the real-time location and status of your vehicles and assets, the foundation that visibility and resilience across the whole operation rely on. Learn more at www.esencialgps.cl.
