E-business logistics & LTRM

Logistra has been administering the Tekes E-Business Logistics Technology Programme (ELO) 2002- 2005. Tekes is the main public funding organisation for research and innovation in Finland. The ELO-programme ended in 2005. The emphasis of the programme was on executing and directing physical material flows. A central viewpoint was how electronic business brings about new demands on logistics and yet also provides opportunities for the management of physical logistics. The ELO technology programme focused on four key areas: supply chain and network management, logistics services, product data and material handling automation.

An E-business Logistics Technology Roadmap has been developed to anticipate the prospected future e-Business Logistics Technologies relating to the ELO programme. Logistra was responsible for both compiling and editing of the report. It has been updated along with the ELO programme. The completed LTRM report has been published in Finnish in March 2006 and will come out in English in September 2006 - and it is posted on the ELO & Tekes pages.
