Procurement and Tendering of Transport and Contract Logistics in the Conflicting Areas of Capacity, Availability, Profitability and Old-School "Excel"
The international procurement of transport and logistics services is booming. Cost cutting with parallel supply chain reconfiguration in Eurasia and geo-strategic nearshoring hype to Türkiye. While the best price-performance ratios were the main focus in logistics procurement in the past, the focus is now combined with securing availability and capacities for the production network.
The international procurement of transport and logistics services is booming. Cost cutting with parallel supply chain reconfiguration in Eurasia and geo-strategic nearshoring hype to Türkiye. While the best price-performance ratios were the main focus in logistics procurement in the past, the focus is now combined with securing availability and capacities for the production network.
However, the transport and logistics market has experienced a turnaround since the pandemic. Suddenly, logistics service providers were in the driving seat. In some cases, lead buyers even started talking about "wild west methods". Fact is: the willing suppliers and logistics service providers are running away from logistics buyers and their supply chain directors, not only in the automotive industry. A new partner ecosystem and a break with frustrating "Excel fiddling" is needed.
For the first time, the original and sold-out event from the MHP Arena Stuttgart is coming to Türkiye. After 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2023, now in its 5th edition under the own brand supplychainmachine. With our international premium media partners KargoHaber and Intermodal Magazine.
The heart of a manufacturing company is production planning. For logistics service providers, it is Tender Management. In practice, however, this strategically important function is often ignored. Both, logistics service providers and industry experience often serious RFQ heart attacks. The consequence: Trouble shooting with task forces, negative EBIT margins, loss of reputation and frustration for both, the logistics service providers and its customers.
In a high-end atmosphere in the Tüpraş Beşiktaş Stadium Istanbul, I am bringing an exclusive international and Turkish community from industry, logistics service providers and software together. An excellent exhibition featuring a number of specialists in supply chain / tender management software completes our program. This event is not a mass event. For us, a personal and high-quality atmosphere matters. Moreover, we consider our Tender Management Conference highly relevant for all sectors. The event is co-moderated by Turhan Özen, Turkish Airlines/Cargo's Chief Cargo Officer until end 2023.
Let's make this dynamic day a joint "home victory". In one of the most exciting and best located football arena worldwide. For industry and its highly respected transport and logistics partners.
With warmest regards
Prof. Dr. Stefan Iskan
