Abstract
Quality of logistics activities plays an important role in corporate competitiveness. The appreciation of the role of logistics as a material and information flow is related to the rapid development of informatics and its technological background. The existence of intelligent devices, distributed intelligent hierarchical systems, a variety of management and control solutions, automatic identification systems, network communication systems, GPS tracking systems, cyber-physical systems, standardized data communications networks, web-based cloud solutions can be traced to the development of information technology. The use of digitization in logistics contributes even more to the better functioning solutions, the real-time management of large amounts of information using applications of Internet of Things, the use of simulation methods for making real-time decisions. These changes, of course, will significantly affect the functioning of the economy, the labour market and competitive situations as well.
