LEVERAGING INDONESIA LOGISTICS ECOSYSTEM WITH FRONTIER TECHNOLOGY

A country with a good logistics system is seen through an efficient distribution process, low logistics costs, and predictable delivery times. Logistic Performance Index (LPI) is an index that describes the sustainability of a country's logistics system. To have a good LPI, Indonesia issued Presidential Instruction Number 5 of 2020 concerning Structuring the National Logistics Ecosystem (NLE) by forming an NLE team to organize Indonesia's logistics ecosystem. However, after the NLE existed, Indonesia's LPI in 2023 will actually decrease compared to 2018. As will be discussed in this research, sustainable development of the Indonesian logistics system is needed, especially the digitalization of frontier technologies. The research method used in this paper is a qualitative method with a case study approach. Researchers obtained data from various documents, academic papers, and also reports. Apart from that, researchers also directly interviewed employees on duty at NLE to obtain further information. As a result, researchers obtained areas of improvement using frontier technology in NLE.  Firstly, Big data can prevent NLE from data missing problems because there are many applications connected to NLE. Then, data analytics can analyze the availability of containers and ships.  Furthermore, in IoT, NLE can implement electronic customs and shipping line seals. Blockchain itself is useful in information transparency, security and traceability. Last but not least, green technology can be implemented through system and spatial planning such as maintaining a sustainable green port area. This digitalization is expected to improve logistics performance in Indonesia, especially in NLE.
