Abstract
Reaching a sustainable industry is now possible through digitisation. The current era witnessed an increase in the impact of digital transformation on the economy; this encouraged various sectors to adopt Industry 4.0. Digital supply chain and Industry 4.0 are current buzzwords in all industries that can solve common drawbacks. The logistics sector in particular suffers from numerous weaknesses, one of which is cargo theft. Logistics companies started adopting technology in operations aiming to mitigate cargo thefts and reach a sustainable work environment through their digital supply chains. The Egyptian government intends to participate in the transition into a digital society. This case aims to demonstrate a best practice of digitisation in the logistics sector in the Egyptian market. Global Chains Company was one of the first logistics companies to apply a digital solution through ERP systems. Through the interviews conducted, cargo theft problems and consequences are demonstrated along with the results of applying digitisation to operations and the lessons learned.
