Globally the logistics industry is going through wave after wave of consolidation. Whilst the major players are steadily increasing their footprint in the supply chain, disruptive innovators are seeking to apply technology to realise radical paradigm shifts in the logistics landscape as we know it. The logistics and freight industry is extremely fragmented, driving margins lower and lower, increasingly weakening the business case for accelerated investment in a highly capital-intensive industry. The industry manifests a low propensity towards dynamic change and is generally driven on zero-sum models of customers shifting from one freight service provider to another.
We are firm believers that the local logistics industry can grow in volume, scope and service sophistication. This is further supported by the exponential growth of the courier and parcel segments together with the ever-increasing demand for purpose-built warehousing and storage facilities. The evolution of further integrated 3PL and 4PL service offerings together with the emergence of the disruptive last mile business models are dynamic game-changers, which could have a lasting effect on the industry’s future.
Our thorough understanding of the supply chain, the smart application of technology in the transport and logistics domains, together with our growth-centric focus, enable us to seamlessly blend our execution capabilities into this operations-driven industry, assisting our clients to tap into market gaps through the development of differentiators and innovation drivers across the value chain.
