End-to-end supply chain collaboration

May 30, 2018

The importance of end-to-end supply chain collaboration has changed dramatically in the last two decades. As the expectations of both shareholders and consumers have soared, the collective brainpower, capability, technology, resources, and scale of most supply chains have become insufficient to meet them. The companies that served as benchmarks for this research are responding by renewing their supply chain approach and prioritizing collaboration across every major organizational boundary—internal and external.

In an economy where trade is global and where the buying experience is as important as the product purchased, the management of the flow of goods is strategic. We work on this flow management that impacts the customer experience of VIAPOST customers through three activities dedicated to companies:> logistics: order picking and sorting of objects (bag, parcels, folds, vats)> industrial maintenance logistic tools> pallet road transport, in France as in Europe At VIAPOST, we make it possible. We are committed to the result, relying on our strengths that make our difference and bring us together: know-how, commitment, innovation and performance. With the same flexibility as an SME and the power of La Poste Group to which we belong, we make it possible!

Using FBX to manage freight rate volatility

whitePaper | June 6, 2022

The daily Freightos Baltic Exchange Container Index (FBX) provides the market with a credible and fully transparent reference point. It is based on the world’s largest global database of multimodal freight rates using realtime data from logistical providers and overseen by an institution whose information already underpins billions of dollars-worth of physical and forward freight contracts in the dry bulk, oil and gas transportation markets.

Supply Chain Resiliency in a Time of Disruption

whitePaper | July 22, 2022

Over the past couple of years, supply chains have experienced a bumpy ride. Shortages have been pervasive— sometimes a result of supply disruptions, sometimes a result of demand spikes, and sometimes both. As a result of these factors and transportation and global trade capacity issues,supply chains are experiencing pressures unlike any we have seen in a generation.

Supply chain resilience

whitePaper | October 11, 2022

Outsourcing has traditionally been viewed in the medical space as a potential risk, with many companies preferring to control every aspect of the critical product build themselves. But today, supply chain resilience – a built-in benefit to partnering strategically with a leader in global manufacturing – may actually be the safer, more reliable, approach. A powerful example of this new perspective on outsourcing can be found in Flex’s response during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Technology Innovation at Sea

whitePaper | July 31, 2022

The shipping industry is known to have many challenges. From CO2 emission rules to the fast-growing number of cyberattacks, ships and crews are vulnerable and must stay safe at all times. Onboard computer technology must become simpler, more secure, and resilient. We can see how digital technology helps transform the way we live our lives and disrupt business models. It’s hard to say just one technology will transform the maritime industry. The interplay and overlap between the technology areas are crucial, but this transformation has yet to make a significant impact on shipping.

Shipping’s Role in the Global Energy Transition

whitePaper | November 5, 2022

It is imperative that nations keep global heating below 1.5˚C – in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. Even at 1˚C of warming, climate impacts on humanity and nature are already extensive and growing. The risk of passing multiple climate tipping points increases rapidly between 1.5˚ and 2˚C. To meet the Paris goals, major and unprecedented levels of carbon dioxide emissions reductions are needed this decade, on a pathway to zero emissions around 2050. The timescales are extremely urgent. Delay is not an option.

Technology Expense Management Hyperautomation

whitePaper | January 12, 2023

The value of automation across internal, supply chain, and customer workstreams is also well accepted. Automation improves productivity, reduces cost, and increases margin. Artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), robotic process automation (RPA), and machine learning (ML) are examples of technology used throughout business to transform workflows and business experiences.
