The supply chain sector is evolving at lightning speed. AI-powered demand forecasting, automated warehouses, and data-driven logistics are no longer visions of the future — they’re shaping the way companies operate today.
But while the technology keeps accelerating, one crucial part is lagging behind: the people who are supposed to work with it.
Smart tools and processes are great, but without the right people, execution stalls. Research shows that 76% of supply chain and logistics companies struggle to find qualified talent.
The demand for professionals with digital and analytical skills is rising fast — think of data analysts optimizing processes, engineers integrating systems, or planners navigating advanced platforms.
The issue? Those profiles are hard to find. And traditional hiring often misses the mark when it comes to what this new generation of professionals actually brings to the table.
Yes, the market is tight. But the real challenge lies in the mismatch between job requirements and the skills that are actually needed. Too many companies still ask for “years of experience in a similar role,” while reality demands something else: adaptability, curiosity, and digital fluency.
If you're holding onto outdated job criteria, you're fishing in a shrinking pool.
So what can you do?
Good news — it’s far from hopeless. Forward-thinking companies are already doing things differently. Here’s what we see working in practice:
The tech is here. The infrastructure is ready. But without the right people, progress stalls.
