Digitalization and decarbonization are dominating the headlines. The world of work we know is changing and, in our view, provides enormous opportunities for innovation and new business models. We would like to be part of this future.
Over the past few months, we have therefore been actively exploring how we can use these major influencing factors to our advantage. It is clear to us that people are the central pillar of our company philosophy. Artificial intelligence and decarbonization are our tools for positioning ourselves innovatively and sustainably.
More specifically, we are making our team fit for the future, including with regard to AI: we are focusing on a work structure that promotes learning, new qualifications for junior staff and soft skills training. Our “people first” approach also includes our customers and partners. The increasingly networked, digital and complex logistics processes require long-term and holistic solutions. We want to build, maintain and develop these together with our partners as a one-stop concept.
Cross-company data exchange is a matter of course. In addition to the “data push”, we also rely on portals via which all authorized transport participants can retrieve information in real time. This avoids digital detours. A platform makes it possible to work directly and virtually together on the package.
We also want to establish AI as an additional channel for communication, in addition to personal contact via telephone, video conference or business visit.
But digitalization is not the only topic that has our attention. Decarbonization along the supply chain is a core concern for us under the premise of “as much ship and rail as possible, as many trucks as necessary”. This is why we are consistently driving forward the use of alternative drive systems and environmentally friendly solutions on the first and last mile. An e-truck has already been successfully established in container transport. Tests with HVO diesel and the use of e-trucks for conventional loads are now on our agenda.
In step and within the Group, opportunities for further diversification are also opening up – driven by digitalization and decarbonization. After all, the economy needs innovative and sustainable logistics concepts for all requirements. We have the expertise and assets – from metal logistics to consumer goods and project cargo, we are the right partner for you. Let’s get in touch and move the key topics of the future together.
