Abstract:

Cloud computing is shaping the digital transformation of logistics by offering scalability, real-time visibility, and predictive decision-making. Adoption varies across organizations, and challenges such as vendor lock-in, regulatory compliance, and workforce readiness continue to influence progress. This study considers the perspectives of 25 logistics professionals to provide an initial picture of current practices, expected benefits, and persistent barriers. The findings show that large organizations in manufacturing and distribution are further along in adoption, while smaller firms remain at earlier stages. Respondents highlighted predictive analytics, operational scalability, and environmentally sustainable logistics as the most consistent benefits. They also recommended phased migration strategies, targeted training programs, and integration with technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, blockchain, and robotics. To ensure that the survey questions were reliable, a Cronbach’s alpha test was conducted for each group of Likert-scale items. All groups showed good internal consistency (α between 0.81 and 0.91), meaning that respondents answered the related questions in a consistent way. This confirms that the survey instrument was statistically reliable and suitable for analysis. These insights contribute to ongoing discussions on digital transformation in logistics and provide a foundation for future empirical research.
