Logistics Industry Digital Plan (IDP)
The Logistics Industry Digital Plan (IDP) is part of the SMEs Go Digital programme, aligned to the Logistics Industry Transformation Map (ITM). It provides a step-by-step guide on the digital solutions SMEs in the Logistics industry can adopt at each stage of their growth. The first Logistics IDP was launched in 2017 and has been jointly refreshed by IMDA, Enterprise Singapore (ESG), and the industry to introduce new digital solutions that meet current and anticipated future needs. The refreshed Logistics IDP includes new digital solutions across different growth stages, a new Digital Training Roadmap to help SMEs identify relevant training programmes for workforce upskilling, integrated and advanced digital solutions for deeper digital capabilities, a roadmap on Cybersecurity and Data Protection measures, and Change Management guidance. A 2021 IMDA survey showed that IDP-recommended digital solutions improved overall work process efficiency, with ~85% of respondents observing time savings and 75% noting manpower-efficient digital solutions reduced dependency on manual labour.
