Manage logistics
How manage logistics are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 20% of Manage logistics is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: Based on the APQC lens prior for the top-level category 'Manage logistics' in Retail Trade, this process centers on the physical movement, warehousing, and delivery of goods. With no child occupations seeded, the category name indicates that while orchestration relies on software, the core value-producing work is inherently physical.
