DHL Supply Chain has launched an expanded global resource for logistics professionals that offers guidance about core main issues that are key to modern logistics and transport functions.

The new resource, Supply Chain Matters, highlights top industry trends and is described by the logistics company as ‘an authoritative online industry resource’, designed to reflect the global nature of the logistics industry and DHL’s expertise.

Readers can subscribe to receive the content directly to their inbox, and a dedicated Supply Chain Matters LinkedIn group has also been developed where supply chain professionals can interact, comment upon and debate the content published on the site as well as the industry in general.

The resource will help business leaders to drive innovation and efficiency in the supply chain and will be updated monthly with new articles and in-depth features on timely issues, challenges or trends that are currently affecting the industry. Framed around the five key topics of efficiency, simplification, innovation, sustainability and insights, Supply Chain Matters features topical content such as a piece on the potential security threat against customer data, a feature showcasing the eight trends re-shaping the face of global retail, and an interview with Acer’s Chief Customer Support Officer on the importance of aftercare services, amongst other content.

Graham Inglis, chief executive officer, Europe, Middle East and Africa said: “Logistics is the definition of a fast-moving industry, and businesses must adapt to these new trends and challenges in order to maintain their competitive edge – although it’s easier said than done to overhaul operations in a time of flux.

“Economic conditions over the past few years have put supply chains under intense scrutiny to better perform and Supply Chain Matters has been designed to provide insight into how businesses can drive these efficiencies forward as well as highlight the global issues affecting business leaders in logistics.”
