About the program

What is the Digital Logistics Tools Course?

This short course gives you a practical understanding of the software and platforms used to run modern logistics operations. You will study what digital logistics is and how it differs from manual management, standalone software, automation and integrated platforms; the main tool families, including ERP, WMS, TMS, CRM, tracking platforms, BI, mobile apps and cloud solutions; warehouse management, from receiving, putaway and picking to inventory control, batches, expiry dates and barcode, QR and RFID data capture; transport planning, route optimization, real-time tracking, digital proof of delivery and last-mile management; and logistics data, dashboards and key indicators such as OTIF, lead time, fill rate and cost per order, together with workflows and automated alerts.

What sets this course apart: an end-to-end view that connects warehouse, inventory, transport, tracking and analytics instead of treating each tool in isolation; practical criteria for choosing and integrating tools that fit the size and needs of each operation; attention to the common pitfalls of digitalization, such as incomplete data, low user adoption, poor integration and configuration errors; a clear grounding in the KPIs that measure logistics performance; and an applied project in which you diagnose a real or realistic operation and design its digital workflow and implementation plan, including training, testing, cybersecurity and support.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about the Digital Logistics Tools Course

A software application or online platform that helps manage aspects of logistics such as transport, warehousing, inventory and delivery, for example a WMS, a TMS or a tracking platform.

A WMS manages what happens inside the warehouse, from receiving and storage to picking and dispatch, while a TMS plans and controls transport, carriers, routes and deliveries.

Indicators such as OTIF, lead time, fill rate, stock rotation, inventory accuracy, cost per order, cost per kilometer and incident rate, displayed in operational dashboards.

No. The course focuses on selecting, configuring and using tools, and on automation through rules, workflows and integrations, without writing code.

You diagnose a real or realistic logistics operation, select the right tools and design its digital workflow, indicators and implementation plan, including training, testing and cybersecurity.

Fully online, through a virtual campus available 24/7, with live sessions that are recorded and tutorials with the teaching staff.

The course comprises 300 hours of study across 5 modules of about 60 hours each and ends with an applied project. You can progress at your own pace within the schedule set when you enroll.
