In recent years, Vietnam has continuously strengthened its international partnerships and fostered long-term, sustainable relationships with countries around the world, aiming to boost economic growth through trade and global goods exchange.
As the United States officially imposes countervailing duties of up to 46% on certain export products from Vietnam, the Vietnamese logistics sector is facing significant challenges—including rising operational costs, longer shipping times, and the risk of supply chain disruptions.
It is evident that digitalization has become the defining trend of the modern era. Across all industries and sectors, businesses are shifting from traditional development strategies to automation and digital transformation, aiming to optimize operational efficiency and productivity.
