Key Challenges in Fresh Grocery & Supermarket Supply Chains

Speaker: Paul de Haan, Sales Director BeNeLux

When it comes to the challenges inherent with supply chains for perishables, spoilage is the greatest fear. The inability to track a shipment’s location, temperature, humidity, and other factors in real time while in-transit results in significant losses annually. In fact, some grocery retailers estimate that $18 billion in food arrives at their stores spoiled and unusable. Stop the madness. Real-time visibility.

You can’t fix what you can’t measure | the importance of visibility

Speaker: Bart De Muynck - EVP/Chief Industry Officer at project44

The events and conditions from the last 24 months have accelerated the digitization of supply chains. In order to better monitor disruptions, as well as to provide leaders with better insights, organizations are increasingly adopting visibility in their Supply Chains.

Companies are looking at visibility tools to get access to all the data in the ecosystem that provides them with clear KPIs to manage their businesses. They started focusing on transportation data as that is a key area of concern. Their current data is often incomplete or not accurate with overall low data quality. In many cases this results in a lack of insights into the data to drive intelligent decisions or possible process automation. Visibility solutions not only bring the networks that feed the data, but also the intelligence to create “High Fidelity” data.

In this session, Mr. De Muynck will discuss the role visibility is playing in Supply Chains and specifically in Transportation and how companies should look at using these capabilities to improve their Supply Chain performance.

Sustainable Logistics - Your Journey to Zero Emissions

Speaker: Arjan Kerkhoff, Sales director for the DACH region

72 percent of all shipping in Europe is road transportation, and 20 percent of the trucks are empty, while the rest are half full. Global freight transport doubled during the last decade and will continue to grow rapidly in the upcoming years. This development leads to congestion and jam on the road and rail, delays at sea- and airports and accelerated pressures on transport infrastructures. This fact increases the cost of transporting goods, services and the power of humans. In addition environmental pressure associated with transport, such as noise, air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions, is now finally gaining public attention.

MIXMOVE logistics software can significantly reduce these impacts and the associated costs for companies. Artur Alves, VP Customer Success, will elaborate on the journey to Zero Emission, based on intelligent data collaboration. He will explain how MIXMOVE proposes operational measures that improve the efficiency of goods distribution, reduce energy consumption and emissions from freight vehicles, and contribute to the overall efficiency of supply chains. MIXMOVE´s goal is to protect the climate by reducing our customers' emissions.

Why Prioritize Supply Chain Visibility?

Speaker: Dr. Martin Verwijmeren, CEO

As the supply chain continues to evolve and digitize, real actionability and holistic visibility is more possible than ever before. But, in a recent survey of supply chain stakeholders conducted by Supply Chain Dive’s Brand Studio, only 14% of respondents said they had all the tools they needed to facilitate supply chain visibility. With supply chain visibility significantly impacting operational excellence, profitability, and the customer experience, industry leaders who prioritize visibility will see incredible returns on their investment.

Discover how you get order visibility and stakeholder collaboration across your supply network … Supply Made Social.

Speaker: Kris Van Ransbeek, Chairman

Supply chains have been digitalised, via different functional systems like ERP, WMS, TMS etc… However, this digitalisation has led to functional data islands at company level. Supply chains are by definition 'cross-enterprise', but the digitalization of these connections is today limited to file-transfer, EDI, vendor portals or Email. Fragmented and point-to-point. On Streamliner information is shared and communication happens, to plan and deliver your orders. Learn of how easy it is to engage your total entire supply base and capture the benefits of inbound monitoring with Streamliner.
