If you've been watching logistics industry news recently, you'll have seen that more and more business owners are having to tighten their belts. With the potential recession on the horizon, it's understandable that savings are being sought out. As such, it appears that more and more Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) are prioritizing digital acceleration & looking to cut costs in other areas of their business. 

According to a Gartner Inc survey carried out in July 2022, CFOs are focusing on operational aspects like back-office automation in a bid to minimise the impact of record-high inflation. Apparently, over the next year, 98% of those surveyed said they would be protecting their digital investments, with 66% saying they have plans to invest in this area. 

Digital Acceleration is a Top Spending Priority 

It's clear that digital acceleration is a clear spending priority in 2023 and back-office operations are certainly being focused upon. A separate and slightly earlier CEO/CFO study showed that around ⅓rd of 128 respondents stated that they'll be prioritizing back-office automation (the most popular of 13 different technology investment categories). 

One of the reasons for this is that back-office workflows are essential to achieving increased efficiency in a range of areas, from warehousing & deliveries to internal IT and accounting. As company margins are put under increasing pressure, these areas of improvement are becoming a necessity for survival rather than merely a good option.
