Market Insight: The inside story on DHL Forwarding’s IT transition nightmare; and how it made WiseTech what it is today

29 March 2019

DHL Global Forwarding, Freight’s (DGFF) ambitious New Forwarding Environment (NFE) project had a longer history than many realise.
Back in 2008 if not earlier, the seeds of what would become NFE were first sown – it was a truly novel initiative within the German group’s asset-light unit: a genuine blue sky, green fields, blank page approach to re-writing the heart and brain of the largest global logistics entity on earth.

Air freight the star performer for DP-DHL in ‘a challenging year’

7 March 2019

Air freight proved the star performer for Deutsche Post-DHL (DP-DHL) in 2018 as its Express and Global Freight Forwarding divisions posted healthy returns.
However, a 56% decline in its Post, E-commerce, and Parcel (Pep) business depleted the profits of other divisions to leave the operator 15.5% down on last year.
Chief executive Frank Appel told investors 2018 had been a “challenging” year, but added that the final months had allowed the company …

8 November 2018

(Note for the reader: DGF in this story refers to both freight and forwarding activities, which report separately but are under the same division)

In less than 16 months, under the stewardship of ex-Kuehne + Nagel air freight head Tim Scharwath, the tide has …

Market Insight: CEVA and CMA CGM – vertical consolidation the next step?

12 October 2018

Events have overtaken me this week. I began this column with the following:
“The recent appointment of Serge Corbel as the new chief financial officer of CEVA Logistics fuelled speculation that CMA CGM might be ready to snap up the freight forwarding and contract logistics specialist in which the French carrier already owns a near-25% stake.
“What could be going on behind the scenes is just as important as trying to understand …

Analysis: supply chain players go head to head in a fight for pricing power

2 October 2018

One of the thorniest questions I have been struggling with lately is the priority of the main actors in the supply chain arena: is it now a fight for power or a race for cash, let alone higher profitability?
Ultimately, I can’t help but come to the conclusion that it is all about shareholder returns, particularly for the freight forwarders. Pleasing investors is more pressing than dealing with their customers’ needs – although they …
