The year 2022 stood apart in geographic growth and new market reach, underlining Softlink Global’s constant mission to reach technology global logistics service providers.
It’s been a notable year for Softlink Global with more customers being on board, the innovation and updating in products, expansion of strategic partner network and the opening of new offices in Dubai and Pune, India, and market expansion in the UAE, Philippines, Mozambique, Jamaica, and India.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the rising cost of living, geopolitical unrest, the rise of inflation, and the increase in the price of fuels coupled with increasing consumer demands can have a ripple effect into 2023. The continuing impact of these factors will weigh on growth in the global freight forwarding market in 2023, which will expand by only 0.7%, according to the New Ti data projects.
However, after almost three years of various unprecedented disruptions, the industry is ready to welcome 2023 to face its unique challenges and opportunities, and so is Softlink Global. By now, we all know that the freight forwarding industry growth will see dominance by the next-generation technologies in the year 2023 and beyond.
Technologies like cloud computing, IoT, blockchain, big data, mobility, and others will not only have a profound impact on how technology is used by the industry but also demand more and more from technology providers and IT professionals like us.
While every year we add more features and bring in more innovation, and improve our offering, it is the trust that our customers held with us that has helped us to grow through these years. We thank you for your relentless trust and pledge to support you in every possible way as a technology partner.
