As per the Indian Logistics Industry Outlook 2020 report, the logistics market in India will grow at a CAGR of 10.5 percent between 2019 and 2025. Much of this growth will stem from disruption and development in related industries such as e-commerce, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, etc. The growth in these industries will be driven by investment in infrastructure, operational efficiency, digital systems, and data analytics. The policy support by the government, like the recent National Logistics Policy, will also play a part in accelerating growth.

However, the growth will not be without its challenges. As observed during the peak of the pandemic, the complexity of supply chain issues will continue to be a big hindrance to business growth. As logistics businesses navigate around the scarcity of resources, freight bottlenecks, high consumer demand, greater employee attrition, vendor movement, and subsequent frauds will be one of the largest obstacles that will continue to impact franchise partners, affecting their profitability and long-term growth.

Third-Party Frauds: A Big Problem in Logistics?

To add speed and scalability to logistics operations, franchisees establish an extensive third-party network including vendors, distributors, delivery partners, etc. Running a franchise involves multiple stakeholders and most of them have access to high stocks of inventory and underlying assets.

 

Checks to Mitigate Frauds in Logistics Space-Logistics businesses are susceptible to financial fraud due to the high transaction volumes. Even a slight compliance oversight can significantly impact the annual turnover and market share.

Third-Party Onboarding To Meet Logistics Requirements –As a business expands, logistics operations are outsourced to third parties to streamline inbound and outbound logistics, reverse logistics, intra-organizational transportation, inventory management, and much more.
