End users in India rely on the logistics offered by a specific industry to deliver goods and products on time and at a particular location. However, studies drawn up by the 7th Annual Voice of Customer Study on Indian Logistics Industry Benchmarking and Analysis of End-user Preferences have shown that companies have only a single year contract with logistic service providers due to inability of these providers to upgrade their infrastructure.

Efficiency and improvement are the main factors that are needed by one to maintain a strong relationship with their contractors which will help reach out to customers in a systematic way. To help boost efficiency and improve logistical capabilities, one needs to make use of better transportation assets and warehousing assets.

Modern supply chain technologies should also be implemented to help deal with such transportation and housing of goods. In order to provide an efficient network, logistic service providers should maintain a strong network of trained and qualified individuals to carry out these tasks effectively. Results which have been perceived are based on market evaluation considering current trends in marketing and management.
