National Logistics Day 2024: Recognizing the Backbone of Supply Chains 👏 Everything we use, every day has made it to us by these heroes.

We held an excellent town hall today for Körber Supply Chain Parcel North America. Our CEO Ananta Islam outlined our Northstar and the associated strategy to achieve it. We introduced our new Chief Sales Officer Lucas Watson and heard his initial impressions. Creighton Trull shared our approach to expanding our integration business, while Abu Kibria discussed our strategy to double our service business. Samantha Wommack emphasized the importance of becoming more customer-centric and agile. The town hall concluded with Hamid Salemizadeh highlighting our successful initiatives in the mail business and how structure ourselves to be even more successful in the future. Following the town hall, there were multiple roundtable sessions with our CEO Ananta Islam, allowing employees to meet him in person and discuss their concerns. Overall, it was a successful town hall and a significant step in engaging our employees in our journey to double our business. #wearekoerber #strongertogether #homeforentrepreneurs #supplychain #customercentric

The other day, I was chatting with my colleagues, discussing the time lag between economic downturns and the demise of companies. Recent figures from XPO Logistics perfectly illustrate this situation, with competitor Yellow Corp falling into Chapter 11. XPO Logistics was quick to take advantage, buying 28 prime location service centres, which dovetail perfectly with the existing portfolio. While ongoing capital expenditure saw cash flow fall from $1.2 billion to a shortfall of $810 million, this includes a long-term #investment in the company’s Less Than Truckload (LTL) network. The company is forecasting double-digit price increases due to reduced competition, and the eventual sale of the European division will see the company refocus on the more profitable North American #market. An opportunistic purchase, improving #sales and margins, bodes well for the future.
