Where : CurioStage
In a transport market with limited capacity and strong negotiating power held by carriers and freight forwarders, shippers from industry and trade face the challenge of simultaneously managing price, reliability, and flexibility. The panel brings together logistics buyers who openly discuss the current challenges they encounter in the transport market. They talk about how to make themselves more attractive to service providers through better planning and operational process quality, how partnerships need to be actively maintained on both sides, and when spot markets should be deliberately used as a flex instrument. The goal is a pragmatic exchange of experiences with actionable takeaways for everyday procurement.
