The authors present the concept of using Web 2.0 technology to develop the knowledge and skills of logistics staff. Today's situation on the global markets requires companies to gain skills to be used with short-term opportunities. Short-term opportunities necessitates that information and knowledge are available on a just-in-time basis. The internet gives such a possibility.
