“…Once the base technologies are understood, it can be determined where road operations should focus their technology investments to achieve higher data visibility. This result is in line with the literature, in which several authors have highlighted the importance of blockchain technologies (Kshetri, 2018;Chen et al 2021;Baygin et al 2022), as well as communication and telematic technologies (Garcia Zuazola et al 2013;Harris et al 2015;Baldini et al 2018), in road freight transport operations.…”

PurposeRoad freight transportation companies need to take advantage of information and communication technologies to develop capabilities. This study proposes a framework to guide road freight transportation companies to achieve data visibility in their operations by developing such capabilities. By proposing this framework, this research contributes to literature and practice, highlighting the capabilities and the respective supporting technologies for improved data visibility in road freight transportation.Design/methodology/approachA mixed-method approach is used to develop the framework, considering three methodological steps. In phase 1, the capabilities are identified in the literature and validated by experts. In phase 2, an empirical assessment of cause–effect relationships between capabilities is performed using a multiple case study and DEMATEL. Lastly, in phase 3, an analysis of the cause model and significant associations is conducted to enable the development of the framework. In addition, the proposed framework was validated by the experts interviewed.FindingsThe results provide a framework that explains the link between the technology-enabled data visibility capabilities in road freight transportation operations. In addition, a pathway was established that road freight transportation companies could follow to achieve data visibility in their operations by developing such capabilities.Originality/valueThis work develops the first framework that provides a path for data visibility in road freight transportation operations from adopting certain technologies. The insights are compelling for researchers and practitioners to optimize the decision-making process for adopting technologies and developing capabilities related to data visibility.
