The latest issue of Logistics Business arrives at a pivotal moment for the supply chain sector, as companies across freight, warehousing and transport face mounting pressure to become faster, smarter and more resilient. Inside the May 2026 edition, readers will discover how the industry is moving beyond technology hype and into a new era where AI, automation and intelligent software are delivering measurable operational advantage.
A major focus of this issue is the growing role of AI and visibility technologies across logistics operations. From embedded AI agents helping supply chain teams move from insight to action, to advanced LiDAR systems improving warehouse safety and automation, the magazine explores how digital intelligence is becoming the invisible engine behind modern logistics performance. Exclusive interviews with leaders from Infios, MicroVision and Ocado Intelligent Automation reveal how software, data and automation are reshaping fulfilment, warehouse execution and operational decision-making.
The issue also examines the evolving dynamics of global freight and customs. Readers can explore how Trans.eu is rethinking the freight exchange model around trust, payment security and intelligent automation, while an in-depth customs feature reveals why forwarders are increasingly turning compliance expertise into a competitive commercial weapon. Elsewhere, an exclusive feature on cross-border e-commerce returns challenges common perceptions around post-Brexit trade and highlights why the UK market may represent a bigger opportunity than many retailers realise.
Warehouse and intralogistics innovation remains central throughout the edition. From robotic picking systems and warehouse gamification to high-density storage strategies and automated fresh food distribution, the issue showcases the technologies and operational thinking redefining fulfilment efficiency. Readers are also taken inside advanced logistics facilities and multimodal operations that demonstrate how leading companies are combining automation, flexibility and sustainability to meet rising customer expectations.
Packed with expert interviews, strategic analysis and real-world case studies, the May 2026 issue of Logistics Business offers essential reading for logistics professionals looking to understand not just where the industry is today – but where it is heading next.
