What the study found

The study found that digitalisation had a positive effect on business efficiency in logistics companies in northwestern Croatia. The reported benefits were strongest in warehouse operations, cost management, and employee productivity.

Why the authors say this matters

The authors conclude that continuous investment in digital solutions and employee training is essential for sustaining competitiveness in today's business environment. They also describe digitalisation as a strategic priority in the European Union and note that Croatia is participating in these efforts.

What the researchers tested

The researchers conducted a quantitative study using a survey of logistics companies in northwestern Croatia. They examined the impact of digitalisation on business efficiency.

What worked and what didn't
