     Transportation, forwarding and logistics companies are constantly using more IT systems and Internet solutions in their operations. Quality of management, knowledge and learning skills are becoming the bases of their market success. The key determinant of strengthening their competitive position on the market is skilful and fast communication with the market environment. Vast majority of the leading Polish transportation companies own local area networks and even wide area networks. More than a half of them uses specialised software that supports management. Most of them are companies with foreign capital. Results of the survey indicate important tasks concerning specialised IT education that should be addressed to Polish transportation, forwarding and logistics companies.
