Miebach Consulting/DVZ Logistics Outsourcing Study 2023   Part 10: Outsourcing grows ever more slowly - now also abroad   A significant reduction in the positive prevailing mood can be seen among both German shippers and service providers. The trend from 1998 to 2014, with a continuous decrease in the proportion of those who predicted an increasing logistics outsourcing trend (1998: 66%, 2014: 53%), seemed to be broken in 2017, when an increasing value of 62% could be noted again. This short-term recovery could not be confirmed in 2020: The rate of those expecting a further increase in logistics outsourcing fell to 48%, and thus below the 50% mark for the first time. In the current study, this figure is now 49% and thus still below the 50% mark. This development can be seen both among service providers and shippers. In the other regions considered here, the mood continues to cool. Among shippers in LATAM, the rate of those expecting further growth falls from 71% to 64%, and in the rest of Europe from 77% to 60%. The corresponding rates among service providers are 80% in LATAM and 50% in the rest of Europe.   With this short article our series regarding the 2023 Logistics Outsourcing Study ends. We hope you did enjoy and stay curious for the next logistics discussions! Outlook: We will conduct a European Chemical Logistics Study during the next months and start presenting the results here in Linkedin most probably in Q4/2024.

Today is Supply Chain Day. DHL Freight, in collaboration with CBS International Business School and the initiative Wirtschaftsmacher is highlighting an industry that keeps the world in motion. Logistics isn't just about delivering packages; it's about delivering opportunity, innovation and fostering global connections. Logistics is the lifeline of our global economy, a dynamic industry that's constantly evolving with the tides of technological progress. It's about connecting people, improving lives (our DHL Group's purpose statement, btw). In our live-streamed session from the CBS campus on 18 April (in German language), our colleague Uwe Dönges and apprentices from DHL Freight will discuss common preconceptions about logistics and challenge them with exciting stories and practical examples. On April 19, Nisha Pillay will comment on Employer Branding strategies and join representatives from universities and other companies for an inspiring panel discussion on how to mobilize young people for the logistics industry. To find out more, visit the Supply Chain Day info page (https://lnkd.in/ewjiKTBr, in German language) and become part of an industry that is future-proof, resilient and ripe with opportunity.    #SupplyChainDay #Logistics #DHLFreight #YourFutureDelivered #TagDerLogistik #wirtschaftsmacher #WeAreFreight #WeGrowTogether

Logistics expert Sven Rutkowsky from Kearney states that 2 billion Euros are expected to be invested in parcel locker networks across Europe during the next 5 years. Some other emerging Trends of Parcel Lockers: Increasing prevalence of DHL's yellow parcel lockers as a response to the industry’s challenges, including high fuel costs and insufficient delivery personnel. Cost Reductions: Parcel lockers could reduce delivery costs by up to 30%, significantly impacting the economics of the industry given the annual volume of over four billion package deliveries. Environmental Benefits: Reduced traffic from decreased home delivery attempts leads to lower carbon emissions, aligning with environmental sustainability goals. Consumer Acceptance: Younger demographics show a preference for parcel lockers due to advantages like 24/7 availability and quick access. Proximity (around 500 meters) significantly boosts user acceptance. Strategic Placement: The potential to utilize public spaces more efficiently as cities reduce private car usage, creating opportunities to place parcel lockers in accessible urban areas. Market Growth Potential: Expected increase in parcel locker installations, driven by both consumer demand and strategic partnerships with housing corporations and retailers. Future Projections: The market for parcel lockers is seen as robust, with a shift towards more widespread adoption and potential standardization across the industry, suggesting a sustainable growth trend.

With eight billion people on the planet and dramatically rising geopolitical, social, environmental, and climate challenges supply chains need to be agile and resilient to keep functioning. We need breakthrough approaches and solutions to work ourselves out of the current complexities. In this BVL blog post, I focus on three fields which I consider to be critical for achieving such breakthroughs. First, human-machine hybrid solutions, as the combination of the two creates a whole that is greater than the sum of their parts. Second, the need for more sustainable practices and products, e.g., a circular economy because we are increasingly forced to slow down the deterioration of our planet which is currently the only habitat of our species. Third, collaboration, as I believe that we are very good in competing but that coopetition, i.e., the collaboration between (competing) businesses is a recipe for creating economic and societal capital in a more balanced way. Technology-enhanced human capabilities, crircular economy, and coopetition will be transformative forces across supply chain networks. #logistics #supplychains #coopetition #sustainability #humanmachinehybrids

Shortlist for #DB Schenker’s buyers to be ready next week Deutsche Bahn (DB) has received the first confirmatory bids for the sale of its #logistics arm DB Schenker. Some of the companies that presented an offer include DSV, A.P. Moller - Maersk and MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company . Morevoer, equity firms such as CVC Capital Partners and Carlyle Group confirmed their bid of around 14 billion euros. This new step comes after the first indicative offers were submitted in March. With the new confirmatory bids, the interested parties are taking the next step in the battle for DB Schenker. Next week, a shortlist of possible buyers should be defined by DB, as mentioned by Bloomberg . The four offers mentioned above might not be the only ones. For example, it is not yet clear whether #AbuDhabi sovereign wealth fund ADQ, which expressed its interest last December, has submitted a confirmatory bid. The sale of DB Schenker was officialised in December 2023. By January 2024, over 20 parties put their names in the hat, showing their interest in purchasing the German logistics giant. Danish Shipping giant DSV, which partered up with #French BNP Paribas and the British-Chinese credit institution HSBC, seems to remain the frontrunner. However, another Danish #shipping hegemon, #Maersk, said not to be counted out, despite claiming to taking a “very cautious approach”. RailFreight.com https://lnkd.in/gxkkZaTS

What a good day! Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting Keller+Hess AG followed by an inspiring lunch with Bernhard Metzger. As a seasoned professional and entrepreneur in the logistics industry, Bernhard provided valuable perspectives on the significance of long-term relationships, integrity, and sustaining a strategic and intrapreneurial mindset over the years. It was enlightening to discover our shared values and viewpoints on these critical topics. I look forward to further engaging conversations and mutual growth opportunities. #Networking #Logistics #Leadership #StrategicMindset #Entrepreneurship

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.   Kuehne + Nagel: Earlier on this year, Kuehne + Nagel announced an organisational restructure with the discontinuation of the regional management levels.   DB Schenker: Although this seems like it has been ongoing for a lifetime, we are getting the final stages of the selling of the German giants Deutsche Bahn and we can expect this to be a done deal by the end of the year.   Bollore: CEVA will soon begin the process of welcoming Bolloré Logistics into its new product-driven organizational model. Bolloré Logistics was acquired by the CMA CGM Group on Feb. 29, 2024. CEVA Logistics and Bolloré Logistics will move forward under one unified brand—CEVA Logistics. The company expects to complete its rebranding process by the end of 2024.   Three of the largest companies in the industry all undergoing significant transitions within a year. This news naturally creates market uncertainty and forces professionals out of their current roles for reasons beyond their control.   For companies looking to hire, there is no better time than now, as the market is filled with highly experienced and talented individuals. Don't hire when the time is right, hire when talent arises. #logistics #recruitment

DACHSER has always been committed to free trade—and opposed to protectionism. The further globalization progresses, the clearer it becomes: responsibility for development, freedom, and peace does not end at national borders. In this context, the principle of free trade—as a driving force for growth, prosperity, and peace—is taking on even more importance. Or as German business journalist Gabor Steingart aptly wrote a few days ago: “The idea of the peaceful exchange of goods for mutual benefit is the most valuable reinsurance policy that mankind currently possesses.” This is precisely what the free trade agreement between the EU and New Zealand stands for. The agreement, which came into force on May 1, facilitates market access for both sides, removes trade barriers, and thus provides decisive impetus for growth, especially in relation to the prospering Asia-Pacific economic region. In figures: ▶️ The agreement will reduce customs duties for companies in the EU by around EUR 140 million annually. ▶️ This should increase bilateral trade by up to 30 percent within a decade, and EU exports could rise as much as EUR 4.5 billion annually. Germany is New Zealand’s most important trade partner within the EU. ▶️ EU investment in New Zealand could increase by up to 80 percent.  We at #DACHSER welcome this forward-looking agreement and will support companies in the EU and New Zealand with our comprehensive global logistics network, which includes three offices in Auckland, Wellington, and Hamilton. #freetradeagreement #FTA #Europe #NewZealand

Hats off to the DACHSER Memmingen team! The Allgäu logistics center in Memmingen has received the “JobErfolg 2024” inclusion award from Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Familie, Arbeit und Soziales, the Bavarian State Ministry of Family, Labor, and Social Affairs. This award recognizes the outstanding and exemplary commitment of employers in Bavaria to the employment of chronically ill people and people with disabilities. As a family-owned company that strives to put its employees first, to receive an award like this is a very special honor for DACHSER.  In Memmingen, close cooperation between HR, the representative for severely disabled employees, and the inclusion officer is bearing fruit. It is bringing experience and personal commitment together with the motivation to go the extra mile for every employee who wants to return to work, for example after a serious illness. The recipe for success is simple: leave no one behind; find a flexible, suitable solution for everyone—be it individually agreed working hours or technical aids such as passive exoskeletons that promote an ergonomic posture. Logistics is people business: This is a truly important, exemplary initiative with the potential to set a benchmark for our entire company and beyond. Take a look at the video to find out what inclusion means at DACHSER Memmingen (German with English subtitles).   #inclusion #logistics #diversity
