With 2015 winding up as a boom year for mergers and acquisitions in the logistics industry, a new report reveals that nearly 48% of shippers regard M+A activity in logistics as a positive and just over 39% embrace the M+A frenzy because they prefer full-service logistics providers that offer a wider geographical reach. That's per the latest bi-yearly Hot Trends outlook issued by eft Supply Chain and Logistics Business Intelligence , a unit of U.K-based Eyefortransport Ltd. The report, based on the firm's industry knowledge as well as the opinions of 300 supply chain and logistics executives, also found that over 60% of those surveyed currently use or will use predictive analytics by 2018.
