The e-commerce giant could introduce both competition and relief to UPS and FedEx — and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

### [Emerging technology and supply chain: Breaking through the hype](https://2598870.hs-sites.com/blog-en/emerging-technology-and-supply-chain-breaking-through-the-hype)

 [fa icon="calendar'] Jul 6, 2018 4:00:00 AM / by [Charles Mortemard](https://2598870.hs-sites.com/blog-en/author/charles-mortemard) posted in [Geoconcept News](https://2598870.hs-sites.com/blog-en/topic/geoconcept-news), [Industry Challenges](https://2598870.hs-sites.com/blog-en/topic/industry-challenges), [Routing and scheduling](https://2598870.hs-sites.com/blog-en/topic/routing-and-scheduling)

**Gartner has coined a plethora of colorful terms for their Hype Cycle methodology. Here’s one that sounds especially relevant: the “Peak of Inflated Expectations.” If the practical benefits of new technology fail to make an impact quickly enough, your business can careen down into the sadly named “Trough of Disillusionment” just as fast. Nobody wants to end up in that trough, eye-to-eye with Eeyore. Especially not the CEO who just spent big bucks on an emerging technology that didn’t deliver.**
