A practical, honest self-assessment built by ADB Logistics Consulting to help a logistics business answer a genuinely useful question before investing in AI or automation: are we actually ready — in our data, our processes, our systems and our people — to get real value from it? Rather than starting from a tool, this assessment starts from your own operational readiness.

Key benefits

A structured, honest view of your AI/automation readiness across the areas that matter
Helps avoid investing in a tool before the underlying process or data is ready to support it
Grounded in practical logistics operations, not generic technology-adoption theory
A companion guide explaining how to interpret your results and what to address first

What’s included

ADB AI Readiness Assessment Workbook.xlsx — the self-assessment workbook
ADB AI Readiness Assessment Guide.pdf — a companion interpretation guide
Instant digital download (ZIP file)

Who it’s for

Logistics business owners and managers considering AI or automation investment
Teams who want an honest readiness check before commissioning a project or buying software
Businesses wanting to identify which foundations (data, process, people) need attention first

How it works

Work through the assessment’s readiness statements honestly, and the workbook builds a summary picture of where your business is genuinely ready to benefit from AI/automation, and where foundational work is needed first. The companion guide explains how to read that picture.

Important limitations

This is a self-assessment based on your own input — it does not audit your actual systems or data, and it does not recommend specific AI tools or vendors. For platform-specific guidance, see ADB’s Practical AI Tools for Logistics Teams reference guide.

Disclaimers

Decision-support and self-assessment tool only — not a technical audit or vendor recommendation. Digital product — delivered as an instant download.
