We have News: Microsoft Cloud Logistics and DB SCHENKER partner for sustainable supply chains in Europe and the United States. At DB SCHENKER we are committed to reducing our CO2 emissions and therefore partner up with other companies to achieve our goals. That`s why we are thrilled to announce the cooperation with Microsoft Cloud Logistics. In addition to this partnership, we have also implemented for them the use of Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO) for all ocean shipments traveling from a port on the west coast in the United States to Texas. We have also extended our land transport operations in the Czech Republic and Slovakia with the strategic placement of HVO100 fueling sites and the introduction of electric vehicles in the fleet. These initiatives speak for the success of such partnerships, unlocking optimized logistics networks and delivering higher operational efficiencies. #dbschenker #logistics #sustainability #Microsoft #cooperation #HVO #ContractLogistics

We are often asked, what is Cross Docking? 🚚 Cross-docking is a logistics practice where inbound goods are unloaded and directly transferred to outbound transportation with minimal or no storage in between. This results in faster turnaround times meaning goods reach customers quicker—perfect for meeting growing consumer expectations. Also by optimising routes and reducing storage needs, this practice can lower carbon footprints. How can Dock2Dock help? Dock2Dock helps reduce your admin tasks for cross-docking. We integrate directly with Foodstuffs South Island’s (FSSI) EDI, simplifying cross-docking.  No more spreadsheets or email chains—just log in, print labels, and Dock2Dock handles the rest. 🚚 #crossdocking #logistics #dock2dock #operations #edi #netsuite #cin7 #dynamics365 #API

Post-pandemic, the world of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) is evolving faster than ever. But it's not just about speed and efficiency anymore. The silent revolution in WMS is sustainability. Yes, you read that right. In a world struggling with climate change, warehouses are no longer just storage spaces. They're becoming eco-fortresses. Renewable energy sources power conveyor belts, while AI optimises inventory to reduce waste. And there's more—biodegradable packaging materials are becoming the norm, significantly reducing plastic use. The goal? Zero waste warehouses. But the green wave doesn't stop there. Electric forklifts and vehicles are replacing their gas-guzzling predecessors, slashing carbon emissions and paving the way for a cleaner, greener logistic network. This shift isn't just good for the planet. It's good for business. Consumers are voting with their wallets, choosing companies that align with their environmental values. The question now is, how is your business adapting to these green trends? Are you leading the charge towards sustainability, or are you trailing behind? Let's discuss how we can innovate our WMS to not only meet the demands of today but to pave the way for a sustainable future. Share your thoughts and let's brainstorm together for a greener tomorrow. hashtag #sustainability hashtag #WMS hashtag #efficiency hashtag #zerowastewarehouses

"Previously, we had to track the ETAs of more than 100 shipments daily. Now, with automatic tracking, we upload shipments, click 'Start tracking,' and we immediately receive ETAs.” But the supply chain team at Life Supplies NV faced a big challenge - tracking over 100 shipments daily, manually! The key struggle was a lack of visibility into shipments before they reached Europe, leading to misunderstandings and incorrect arrival dates. But here's the game-changer: OneView. 👀 Now, they track all of the shipments within one click, even the ones that are not shipped with Shypple. With Shypple, Life Supplies achieved team alignment, reduced human errors, and saved valuable time. #logisticsoptimization #animalfeedmarket #chemicals #food #feed https://lnkd.in/epx9XMfM

What impact does real-time access to documents have on your team's productivity? That's a question many logistics managers grapple with, especially when faced with delays and errors in shipping documents. We know how inefficient paper-based processes can be, but the real question is: How do we fix it? Switching to electronic trade document management is a small change that can make a big impact. Key Benefits: • Efficient Task Allocation: Focus on strategic initiatives over administrative burdens. • Improved Communication: Real-time access fosters better team and stakeholder collaboration. • Reduced Errors and Delays: Automation minimizes processing errors, ensuring smoother operations. • Scalability and Flexibility: Support business growth and seamless partner collaboration. Take Hecny, for example: "The transition to eBLs significantly improved operational efficiency by 33% since the number of steps was dramatically decreased."
