Logistics players must respond to growing demand and transform their business models to take advantage of new technologies (automation, tracking, mapping, dematerialization, data). In air and sea freight, digital technology is encouraging the emergence of new players who are disrupting business models and forcing traditional players to radically rethink their business.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, tourism operators are faced with the emergence of new players who capture part of the traffic and value and force them to thoroughly review their operational model.<\/p>\n<h2>How we can help with transport and logistics<\/h2>\n<p>We support some of the main players in the industry, in tourism and air transport, maritime and rail transport, postal services, courier and logistics services companies. We assist in their reorganization and operational efficiency projects in all areas of the value chain.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"accordion\" id=\"accordion\" data-id=\"5351\" data-eval=\"true\"
