Deliver.Now: from a mode of transport to the backbone of competitive supply chains in Europe
October 21, 10:30-11 am
Whether European supply chains become resilient and climate-friendly will depend on rail transport. Geopolitical uncertainties, fragile networks and rising cost pressures are increasing the need for action. At the same time, customers expect reliable, transparent, and easy-to-use solutions. To achieve this, rail freight transport must improve significantly: with more efficient structures, greater operational resilience, easier access, and real-time transparency. In this interview, Kai Althoff and Bernhard Osburg will discuss which levers are now critical and how rail can become the strategic backbone of competitive supply chains in Europe.

Holistic digitization strategy – E2E – from patchwork to fully integrated strategies
October 22, 1:45- 2:30 pm
Supply chain IT architectures have often evolved over the years through silo-based decision-making, without a holistic strategy. Many companies are now moving away from this approach and developing holistic IT roadmaps and implementing them consistently. This session is designed to offer decision-makers and strategists the opportunity to learn from this trend and apply the insights to their own organizations.
