About this report

This report counts every public deployment by an organization in logistics and transportation, whatever the use case, and sets it against all 1921 public deployments in the library. The industry hub counts only the use cases tagged with this industry, so its totals can be lower. Every figure is computed with the rules on the methodology page, from the open data (CC BY 4.0). The sample reflects what organizations choose to publish, which skews toward large organizations and successful projects.
