The modern commerce is changing dynamically under the influence of information innovations and the gradual transition of existing economic and social systems into the digital age. Merchants are using the digital technologies to make it easier for consumers to shop and explore their behavior, expectations and preferences. However, this development requires a quick adaptation of courier services to suit customer preferences. This paper examines changes in the logistics industry and supply chain due to the development of artificial intelligence (AI), the growing role of Internet of Things (IoT) in the delivery industry, the autonomous vehicle management, the use of 3D printing for custom production and other current trends to accelerate delivery time and customer satisfaction.
