When thinking about the total cost of ownership (TCO) and logistics technology, technical teams need to think holistically. Talent, capacity, flexibility, and reliability are just a few areas of investment required to build logistics apps that accelerate your business. By exploring these core cost considerations, teams can make informed decisions based on their specific architecture, team, and business goals. TCO frameworks are specific to an organization and must be adjusted for the stage of the company and the markets within which they operate.
I have had many conversations with tech teams who are making important decisions about their logistics tech stack. From these conversations, I’ve noticed that teams need to think about many of the same considerations they considered when designing their cloud infrastructure environments.
