Have you talked to your hiring manager? I know the older generation has a hard time with change. To them it’s job security.
Maybe coming up with a different approach may help. Honestly I would get it some time. They want and need new fresh ideas.
You’ll find logistics is a very slow to adapt industry which is why there are so many logistics tech startups
Try keeping an open mind and networking with other team members; you could learn something new or get valuable insights to help you share your ideas better. At the end of the day, stay positive and remember that any challenging situation can provide you with a great experience.
Keep in m mind things change quickly, people come and go. If this is a good company and you want to put the effort in then stick it out.
The job may not be a good culture fit for you, which is something you cannot change. If they are accepting your ideas on top of that, may be time to move on.
It's understandable that you may be feeling overwhelmed adjusting to a new job and one with a very different work culture than you may be used to. It could also be worth speaking to someone more senior within the company who might have more of an open ear and could offer you further guidance on how best to work with all staff members.
Instead of quitting right away, try discussing your ideas with your supervisor or manager; it may not seem like anyone is listening, but they could offer advice or guidance on how to get better your ideas heard by the rest of the team.

Your enthusiasm and fresh perspective can bring much value if you take the time to adapt accordingly.
I understand where you are coming from. I'm in that boat right now, coming from a start up to a very old school company is a big slam in the face.
If your boss and their boss want to improve processes, then in the long run it's actually good for you to stay. Implementations might be slow but you might become an asset.
If you feel your bosses are also resistant to change, get out now if you have a job lined up. Staying there longer doesn't help one bit.
I would say to hold out about a year or so if you can unless it is a toxic environment. Change is hard and sometimes it takes a while to adapt and get used to a new environment.
Ran into the same issue at my current company when I first got hired. Give it about a year and shake some trees along the way to see if one of your seeds grow
