We had a great time at the Logistics Summit in Düsseldorf! 👌 Besides presenting "Why Location Data Matters in Modern Supply Chain Management," we gathered valuable insights from industry conversations: 💡 Existing Problem, Unsolved: Many companies face challenges with managing location data, but no one has fully addressed the issue yet. 🔗 Broader Integration Potential: We see great opportunities in expanding our data solutions into TMS, Visibility Systems, SAP, and other platforms for a more comprehensive approach. 🎯 Core Market Focus: We’re constantly exploring which industries benefit most from our platform. 🧩 No Solution, No Problem: Since there hasn't been a solid solution before, some companies haven't even recognized the problem yet—but we're ready to change that! We’re looking forward to tackle all these challenges and bring new solutions to the logistics world. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth—let’s keep the conversation going! 🙏

Congrats to the masterminds behind the Mobile Robotic Fulfillment System in #intralogistics - Mick Mountz, Dr. Peter Wurman , and Prof. Dr. Raffaello D'Andrea. They will be inducted into the Logistics Hall of Fame in Berlin on December 5! Looking forward to meeting you at Bundesministerium für Digitales und Verkehr. And many thanks for sharing insights about the history of Kiva Systems / Amazon Robotics and your strategies with me - which made it easy to write a thrilling story. I would like to share two details which might be worth reading for start-ups in the community: Firstly, according to your strategy new technologies should not be developed in the laboratory and then offered to the industry. Rather, founders should first identify a central problem in an industry and then look for a solution - and always seek feedback from potential customers. And secondly, even if it seems financially tempting to have the production of hardware and software carried out by external partners: Production must initially be carried out internally as far as possible - because the solution must be reliable and constantly improved.

📊 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀: With over 12 years of experience in logistics, Fabian Maier has seen the industry evolve from a post-financial crisis stability to a complex, multi-crisis environment. At MAN Truck & Bus SE, he has held various roles, giving him a comprehensive view of today’s challenges. 🌐 In his latest #blog post, Fabian Maier highlights how global crises such as COVID-19, the semiconductor shortage, and geopolitical tensions have necessitated more robust and sustainable supply chains. Shockingly, even in 2024, many logistics processes still rely heavily on emails and lack system interfaces with business partners. At RIO | The Logistics Flow, we’re pioneering solutions that bring full transparency and efficiency to the logistics process, much like how we track packages in our personal lives. 📦 🚚 Read more about how digitalization is revolutionizing logistics through Fabian Maier’s perspective: https://lnkd.in/dbHvC3rN #RIO #LetTheLogisticsFlow #Transportation #DigitalTransformation #SupplyChainSolutions #Efficiency #Transparency

DHL has shown at the BDI InnonationForum it #GHG #emission calculation. Well, it is not surprising that avation represents 68%. However we have to keep in mind that demages in the atmosphere are not only a result of CO2 emissions at an altitude of more that 30k feet. Scientists are still disputing about the real effect of #contrails coming from water vapour and small sooty particles. Data are still missing, but it is discussed that the real effect of aviation on the atmosphere can be 3-4 as much as induced by #CO2 emissions. Back to the graph: How would this look like, if we would reflect the damage and not only the emissions and their sources? Yes, you are right. Aviation would cover far more than 90%. Almost last question: How shall we concentrate our activities and allocate our #talents to find solutions? Really last question: Have you considered that #SAF, #Fuelcells and #hydrogen emit also contrails in our atmosphere?

Central vs. Direct - Choosing Your Inbound Delivery Strategy! 🌐🚚 In the world of inbound deliveries, decisions matter. We empower you with choices – Central Delivery or Direct Delivery, each designed to suit your unique logistics needs. Central Inbound Delivery: 🏢 Send your goods to one of our strategically located central warehouses in Neuss, Niederaula, or Hoppegarten, Germany. Here, we consolidate the shipments for onward transport to our regional last-mile depots. This centralized approach enables efficient and speedy delivery of your goods nationwide. Direct Inbound Delivery: 🚚 Your goods are injected directly into our regional last-mile depots, skipping the central hub entirely. This reduces handling and transportation distances, and minimizes the risk of damage. It's an ideal solution for businesses with robust haulage networks and high shipment volumes. Additionally, we offer a combination of both Central and Direct Delivery options for enhanced flexibility. Explore your options for inbound goods delivery: https://lnkd.in/epBWqTg4

Full picture of Austrian 🇦🇹 Ecommerce Market, with an interesting focus on "where Austrian shoppers buy" : 54% of online purchases are made abroad. CrossBorder in one word. That's the biggest concern of Handelsverband. Some Key Points from the research, that was commissioned by Handelsverband Österreich - Retail Association Austria and conducted by the research institute Austrian Institute for SME Research. Mobile shopping recorded the highest increase ( 36%), total spending is now €10.6bn ( 5%), partly fueled by inflation (as for many other Countries in Europe) and Handelsverband mapped 12.000 local webshops. But what is worrying more Rainer Will, director of Handelsverband, is the "€6bn that are flying to foreign online stores". "Younger target groups buy from foreign suppliers significantly more often than older ones : 58% for the generation between 15 and 29 years of age and decreases continuously with age. Of the 50 generation, only half buy from foreign suppliers," this is the comment of Harald Gutschi, Managing Director of the Otto Austria Group, Vice President of Handelsverband 🇦🇹 and Head of the "eCommerce, Marketplaces & Mail Order" platform. What is causing this concern is mostly happening because of CrossBorders purchases from China. Through De Minimus. Not only in Austria, last week Ecommerce Europe (European Ecommerce organization) published an open letter a few days ago about De Minimis : "... stressing the urgent need to ensure a level playing field and effective enforcement of EU law towards all e-commerce players active in the EU Single Market". https://lnkd.in/dJ_69QbN Ecommerce News Europe, by Arjan van Oosterhout https://lnkd.in/dzJ5f9pV #crossborder #ecommerce #b2c #osterreich #deminimus
