In an interconnected world, the need to exchange information across domain's boundaries is increasingly common, the concern is rapidly moving towards defining the content that needs to be consumed by numerous and different actors using different platforms and/or software solutions, since the internal processes have been consolidated and optimized. The transport logistics sector is no exception, the main issue in this domain is for industrial applications that allow to tag, monitor and transmit information about the freight along the whole transport chain, thus guaranteeing an efficient communication among the supply chain for a prompt intervention and resolution in case of problems and in general to increase the transport efficiency. 1. INTRODUCTION Transport and logistics act in a worldwide distributed business world as an aorta of the economic system. The Logistics area has seen a huge growth in the last few years. This growth is on the one hand a result of the globalization which has led to international supply chains requiring sophisticate logistics concepts. The exponential growth of ecommerce has additionally boosted the need for logistics concept. While the overall consignment number has increased the consignment size has decreased, leading to more and smaller consignments that need to be transported to different locations. The smaller consignments pose a huge problem to the logistics services providers and their goal to keep the bundling of the consignments as long as possible in order to enable the best usage of the transport vehicles with as much consignments as possible. This goal hasn’t been reached so far and thus e.g. the utilization of trucks is in some countries lower than 70%.This rather weak utilization of the transport vehicles does not only pose an economic problem to the logistics services providers as well as forwarders, but also poses a substantial problem to our environment. The emissions caused by transport are still very high, as for example within the transport sector accounted for 23% of total CO2 emissions, with road transport generating 71% of total transport emissions in 2006, and are expected to increase until 2030. The ultimate goal therefore has to be to increase the utilization of the transport vehicles. 2. LITERATURE SURVEY There are many contributions taking the Dzpublic transportationdz perspective ȋi.e. the viewpoint of public stakeholders), papers focusing on the Dzprivate transportationdz perspective ȋi.e. the viewpoint of the private companies offering logistics and transportation services) are fewer and relatively more recent. Additionally, even though in recent years researchers have also started to examine the decision‐making process of, many themes are under‐represented in literature, such as the subject of integration among different application types, empirical research on the role of technology providers in the adoption process. As far as the methodology is concerned, the review revealed that many of the papers examined are either conceptual papers or empirical studies (i.e. mostly based on surveys, or else on case studies or interviews), while simulation and modeling are rarely present. While efforts were made to be all‐inclusive, significant research efforts may have been inadvertently omitted. However, the authors believe that this review is an accurate representation of the body of research on logistics and transportation companies published during the specified timeframe, and feel that confidence may be placed on the resulting assessments. 3.
