Finding ways to cut costs and add value for customers are a constant challenge in the logistics industry - and using technology to achieve these aims will be on the agenda at an event this evening hosted by the Freight Transport Association (FTA) and Moore Stephens.

The two have joined forces to hold a free-to-attend seminar in London on the financial and strategic benefits of using technology in the logistics sector.

Customers are demanding more for their money and logistics companies are looking at technological innovations to cut their costs and add value.

The seminar will address the increased use of technology in the following areas:

• Telematics - driver information and vehicle usage
