Editor's Notes

  1. We want to revolutionize…. Move from transaction to… We build smart and powerful products that drive predictability, intelligence, and value into our customers business. High level product vision?
  2. Growing customer base The world’s population is growing and expected to reach 9 billion people in 2050 Accompanying that population growth has been an increase in the number of people in emerging markets who are now able to access global markets The number of smartphone subscriptions is predicted to almost double to 4 billion by 2025, with nearly all of that growth coming from emerging markets Air freight in emerging markets is predicted to increase by more than 1 million metric tons by 2018, with the fastest growing routes between the Middle East and Asia Rise of the digital consumer The advent of e-commerce has empowered consumers who can now source products from anywhere in the world or compare prices with just the swipe of a smartphone screen Proportion of trade accounted for by B2C sector is expected to rise from 29% in 2013 to 36% in 2018 As consumers become more used to digital services (including e-commerce or apps such as Uber), they expect to receive the same quality and flexibility of service in other industries No longer is it enough for carriers to deliver a consignment on time – they need to offer a multi platform service to both personal and business customers. (They may also need to invest in specific services such as ‘cool supply chain’ for temperature sensitive goods, or more personalized ‘logistics of me’ offerings for consumers who value convenience.) Sharing economies, disruptive business models, the last mile being solved by package banks ---effects….disruption Political and economic developments Price of oil – recent slump in the price of oil has improved profit margins for logistics businesses (we see this as temporary). The logistics industry remains vulnerable to increases in the price of oil. Trade harmonization – economic unions (NAFTA, EU, ASEAN) have made progress toward trade harmonization within their boundaries which has reduced the costs and time spent processing the documentation required to trade between countries within these zones. Environmental awareness – growing attention to environmental concerns – companies will have to look at ways to use greener methods of transportation, reduce their overall CO2 emissions, and cut down on waste from packaging to ensure they can offer sustainable logistics operations.
  3. Treat the airway bill as a conversation – anyone who touches this can see what is going on Practical example ie, flowers Parcel motel – solves first and last mile to convenience of the consumer Staring to examine the whole supply chain What are the data points that should persist throughout the entire supply chain Start modularizing and creating services around this The value loop: an action—the state or behavior of things in the real world—gives rise to information Which is then manipulated in order to inform future action. For information to complete the loop and create value, it passes through the stages of the loop, each stage enabled by specific technologies. An act is monitored by a sensor that creates information. That information passed through a network so that it can be communicated, and standards—be they technical, legal, regulatory, or social—allow that information to aggregated across time and space.  Augmented intelligence is a generic term meant to capture all manner of analytical support, which collectively are used to analyze information. The loop is completed via augmented behavior technologies that either enable automated autonomous action or shape human decision in a manner that leads to improved action.
