PTV Logistics at Leaders in Logistics
Attending events like the Leaders in Logistics Summit isn’t just a checkbox on our calendars; it’s an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and stay ahead of the curve. This year’s summit in Barcelona was particularly impactful, filled with insightful discussions, engaging presentations, and exciting announcements that underscored the transformative nature of our industry.
One of the most rewarding aspects of attending the Leaders in Logistics Summit was the chance to engage with our customers, partners and prospects face-to-face. In an increasingly digital world, there’s immense value in these personal interactions. We had the opportunity to listen to customer feedback, understand their pain points, and discuss how we can better serve their needs. These conversations reaffirmed our commitment to delivering solutions that drive efficiency, reliability and sustainability.
‘’Innovation in Motion’’
Steven De Schrijver, our CEO, shared the stage with one of our great customers, John Ruijsch of DynaLogic, where the focus of the discussion was on “Innovation in Motion.” They discussed DynaLogic’s philosophy of “turning customers into fans” and some of the biggest challenges in logistics, especially when technology such as AI is changing the face of logistics going forward. PTV Logistics and Dynalogic have discovered a powerful synergy by challenging the existing status quo as the foundation for continuous improvement, rather than merely relying on words alone, but actively pursuing for also less evident breakthroughs.
How will you keep up?
I was honored to share the main stage with Thierry Golliard with Swiss Post, Christian Ostergaard with PostNord, and Michael Andrae with Osterreichische Post. We discussed the latest innovations shaping the transportation and logistics landscape. But for me, an important question I wanted the audience to take away and think about is “How will you keep up?” In the face of rapid-pace innovation, AI, regulations and thousands of new locations that customers are delivering to, we not only need to keep up with the pace of innovation, but we also must plan for the future.
Announcing our Route Optimization OptiFlow API: Sustainability with Cost Savings
During Leaders in Logistics, we had the privilege of unveiling our Route Optimization OptiFlow API, the latest innovation of our PTV Developer components suite, designed to help our customers optimize routes with up to 100,000 locations. Our customers can expect double-digit savings on their transportation costs, even when already using a planning system. Not only will this help our customers operate more efficiently, decrease their environmental impact, and boost customer satisfaction – it also contributes to a notable reduction in CO2 emissions. This achievement is a symbol of our commitment to customers and our role in promoting sustainable solutions for the future.
Looking Ahead: Charting a Course for Collective Success
As we bid farewell to Barcelona, we’re energized by the shared vision for the future that emerged from our collective interactions and discussions. In an era defined by unprecedented disruption and opportunity, collaboration, and innovation are more critical than ever. The Leaders in Logistics Summit served as a powerful reminder of the immense potential that lies ahead, and we’re excited to embark on this journey of innovation and growth, hand in hand with our customers, partners, and peers.
