Poland boasts a well-developed IT sector, along with a robust logistics industry; however, it doesn't stand out among European competitors in terms of utilizing IT tools. A recent analysis highlights that only 29% of logistics companies are employing AI-based technologies for operational processes, revealing a significant gap in technological adoption compared to industrial sectors like metalworking. Additionally, less than a quarter of these companies have digitized their internal document management, and only 41% have implemented tools for document auditing and compliance.

The inefficiencies in the logistics sector are further emphasized by the fact that fewer than 39% of firms engage in communication with international partners using applications other than email, showcasing a hesitance to embrace modern communication methods. This trend suggests that the logistics industry may be stuck in traditional practices, potentially hindering its competitiveness in a rapidly evolving global market. The analysis from Deep Current indicates a clear need for the sector to adopt more advanced technological solutions.

In the face of growing concern among rolling stock manufacturers about competition from government-subsidized Chinese firms, industry leaders like Paweł Stapf from Komputronik Biznes express that the logistics sector must recognize and act upon the urgency for integrating the latest technologies. Without legislative protections and a strategic shift towards digitalization, the Polish logistics industry risks falling further behind on the international stage, ultimately affecting its operational efficacy and global competitiveness.
