The #ATAmce24 kickoff provided a unique and inspiring experience for LEAD ATA participants with a behind-the-scenes tour of Chick-fil-A Supply’s facility. As we delved into the intricacies of their warehouse operations, one thing became clear: operational excellence is no accident. It’s built on strong processes, intelligent technology integration, and a dedication to efficiency that drives customer satisfaction. Chick-fil-A Supply's approach to supply chain management offers valuable lessons for industries across the board, especially in the fast-evolving world of transportation and logistics. The seamless coordination of their warehouse workflows, from inventory management to last-mile delivery, showcased a commitment to precision that every company should strive for. The culture of innovation and teamwork struck me most during this tour. Chick-fil-A has created a collaborative environment where technology is leveraged to automate tasks and empower employees to work smarter, not harder. Their investment in people and processes reminds them that success in business is not just about the bottom line—it’s about building systems that work for everyone involved, from suppliers to customers. As transportation and logistics professionals, we face increasing pressure to innovate and improve efficiency. Touring Chick-fil-A Supply was a timely reminder of the importance of continuously refining our operations, adopting new technologies, and investing in our workforce to stay ahead of the curve. Operational success doesn’t happen by chance. As we dive deeper into #ATAmce24, I’m excited to explore new ways to apply these insights to our industry's broader challenges and opportunities. We can all aspire to Chick-fil-A’s model of efficiency and excellence, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn from their example. Let’s take this momentum forward as we continue to explore the future of transportation at #ATAmce24 #ATAMCE2024 #linkLabs #Trucking #iot #Logistics #supplyChain #innovation

In a Q&A, Teqplay's CEO Léon Gommans highlighted the wait for bunkering as one of the areas that can be improved in optimizing port calls. There are many reasons for delays in port, many of which are related to the complexity and coordination needed in operations. This is why visibility is so important, to know when to plan for bunkering, how to align with cargo operations, and so on.

The IBPortdash platform automates and streamlines all the essential aspects of the ship chartering process for both the cargo owners and the ship owners. It rapidly improves the speed of negotiations between various stakeholders involved in the chartering process by: • Enabling the cargo owners/ship charterers and ships owners to upload the complete cargo information and full contract terms onto the platform, • Allowing multiple stakeholders in chartering process to review all the requisite information and details at the same time, thus, reducing manual back and forth by ship brokers/intermediaries • Facilitating live information updates and contract negotiations on the platform
