NextGen Logistics column by Logistika Magazine: when AI gives time back to logistics — and why this matters for the future of the industry

At Business Hand Sàrl, we believe the logistics sector is entering a new phase — one where technology does not simply optimise processes, but reshapes how organisations think, plan, and make decisions.

This is why we warmly welcome the launch of the ⏏️ NextGen Logistics column by Logistika Magazine, created in partnership with Transmetrics.

This initiative signals a clear shift: LLMs and AI‑powered analytics are becoming part of everyday operational reality.

In our work across Switzerland, we support IT developers who build innovative systems for logistics operations management — solutions that help companies adopt and implement new technologies with confidence. And we see, more clearly than ever, that AI is not a threat but an opportunity to restore human capacity.

“AI isn’t here to replace humans — it’s here to give them back their time.”   — Transmetrics

What we expect from NextGen Logistics

• real‑world examples from logistics operations;

• clarity on how LLMs support forecasting, planning, and communication;

• guidance for companies beginning their AI journey;

• a forward‑looking perspective on the next years of transformation.

For us, this column is a bridge between innovation and practice. It speaks the language of businesses ready to evolve — and of the technologies that make this evolution possible.
