1/3 of the 28.5 trillion dollars returned in world trade is directly related to logistics. While 65% of this volume is related to cargo transportation, 35% is related to storage, customs, etc. related to processes. The size of the logistics sector in Turkey is approximately 100 billion dollars. An average of 450 thousand trucks receive FTL loads per day and approximately 80 million dollars of freight is paid every day. In Turkey, where there are 1.2 million SRC-certified truck drivers, the number of trucks with a tonnage of 16 tons and above is around 930 thousand. 550 thousand of them carry out commercial cargo transportation. In Turkey, where 90% of the transportation is done by road, 85% of the trucks on the roads belong to individuals, very different from Europe and the USA. In addition, Turkey is the country with the highest individual truck ownership in Europe.

“LOGISTICS SECTOR IS ON THE LIMIT OF A NEW ERA WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGIES”

Making a statement about their cooperation, KPMG Turkey Customs and Foreign Trade Services Company Partner, Industrial Production Sector Leader Murat Palaoğlu said, “If the goods produced in the world are not delivered on time in accordance with the expectations of the customer, it becomes difficult to produce. However, the basic foundation of the supply system is the continuity and sustainability of the supply. The pandemic has also caused unprecedented disruptions to supply chains. The developments we encountered, almost as a shock, forced the logistics industry to find new ways to keep the global economy alive. In this period, the critical role of technology and digital solutions was once again revealed. This pushed the logistics industry to reconsider its plans. Now is the time to finalize the plans built on technology and draw the roadmap for the future. The logistics industry is on the verge of a new era with modern technologies. With the increase in the applications of technologies such as automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, IoT, big data analytics, blockchain, algorithm-based systems, there will be new developments in the logistics industry. We, as KPMG, aim to bring all manufacturers, logistics companies and SMEs together with high technology with this cooperation with TIRPORT. In doing so, we also pave the way for logistics companies to reach the cargo in the fastest way with the right pricing, with our digital experience and strong network.” said.

Noting that TIRPORT has digitized the logistics industry end-to-end with its digital solutions supported by increased intelligence, TIRPORT Founding Partner Hakan Özçubukcu said: “With its technologies, TIRPORT gives cargo owners and logistics companies the power to manage all transportation operations from mobile to end. In addition, all information about trucks, drivers and cargo, as well as commercial documents such as waybills and invoices can be accessed 24/7 from the TIRPORT Corporate application. TIRPORT is able to generate location-based, real-time delivery reports with its enhanced intelligence-supported technologies, and monitors the driving performance on the roads and the transport performance of the carrier with analytical criteria. It does all of this without attaching any device to the trucks, only with artificial intelligence supported mobile technologies. One of the most important problems of today is ensuring business continuity and protecting nature. With its smart matching technologies, TIRPORT eliminates the problem of trucks returning empty, fills idle capacities, and thus prevents the wasteful release of thousands of tons of CO2 into nature every year. With this cooperation, KPMG and TIRPORT will also develop joint projects to raise awareness for the sustainable environment and the future. With the realized data, the public will be informed regularly.”
