Beyond Efficiency: How GenAI Unlocks Digital Economic Value in Logistics

A fully automated, cognitive supply chain driven by machine learning-powered predictive analytics, IoT inventory management, and fully automated AI data management is no longer a dream.?

At the heart of this transformation lies the power of generative AI (GenAI) to tackle one of the most pressing challenges in modern logistics: managing unstructured data. It makes up 85% of data in the supply chain. And all of it is unusable by decision-makers because traditional systems struggle to mine meaningful insights from free text, voice notes, handwritten invoices, scans and attachments.?

This blog explores how GenAI solutions, such as those offered by Stargo, can transform operations by transforming semi- and unstructured data structured data, readable by machines, to create digital economic value.

What is Digital Economic Value??

The concept refers to the measurable economic benefits of both financial and non-financial digital assets. This includes your enterprise’s data, advanced technologies, and digital infrastructure (WMS, TMS ERP). Within freight, logistics and supply chain organizations, this value is measured through improved efficiency, decision-making, and resilience.?

What is Unsgrucured Data?

Unstructured data cannot be easily stored in traditional column-row databases, and enterprises must rely on AI and ML to analyze it.

Unstructured data comes in all formats:

• Customs documents in various formats (PDFs)
• Handwritten delivery notes
• Social media and news posts of real-time updates on weather events?
• Live traffic updates that factor in weather conditions

Drowning in Data, Thirsty for Insights?

One key challenge in realizing digital economic value is the proliferation of unstructured data. According to IDC, it’s increasing at an annual rate of 55-65%, and it’s estimated that 85% of supply chain data is unstructured.

The problem is that unstructured data exists without a predefined data model that systems like WMS, TMS and ERPs can read. But wait, there’s a bright side. Mining your enterprise’s unstructured data can increase annual revenue by 20%.?
