Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become an indispensable tool for logistics service providers (LSPs) to be competitive in the logistics market. LSPs increasingly relied upon ICT to create value for customers and other stakeholders. ICT benefits LSPs mainly for three reaons: cost reduction and better service to the customer. In Vietnam, ICT is being applied across domestic logistics industries, however, details on status and perception by LSPs towards ICT are not well-known. Therefore, the paper firstly attempts to clarify the status of ICT adoption among LSPs in Vietnam, such as foreign and local firms. The local firms are classified into large, medium and small firms. The technological gap be-tween local and foreign LSPs in Vietnam are also analyzed. Besides, the motivators and barriers in ICT implementation are described. In general, ICT are introduced so that the performance of LSPs is improved. Thus, identification of the impact of ICT on firm performance are analyzed. The anlaysis were conducted for different ages, sizes and types of business since the current level of ICT adoption and impact on the revenue is likely to be different. It is also important to examine the implications of local government reform, and can help to make sure that the company can be able to learn new technologies quickly, adapt to changing trends in supply chain technology. Government is expected to present an industrial policy strategy for logistics and the transport of goods.
