Abstract

This paper adopts a developmental perspective to review articles and reports published in the past decade on the application of big data to the optimization of logistics. First, the evolution and features of both logistics and big data are reviewed using the systematic review method. This is followed by discussions on the implementation of big data in logistics and the optimization outcomes. The paper summarizes the four main effects of the adoption of big data in logistics: informatization; operation efficiency; service quality; and the promotion of technical upgrading.
