Transport and Logistics

In a globalizing world, the transport and logistics industry is facing a new set of challenges. In order to stay ahead of their competitors and make up for substantial losses of up to 30% sustained in the course of the financial crisis of 2009, companies need to be open to change and find new and innovative solutions.

The industry, accustomed to success and years of steady growth, has to rethink its stance and become aware of the changes that cut to its core:

• The balance in the industry seems to have been lost for good. Excess capacities are continuing to keep prices down in wide areas of the business.
• The established rules, such as the balance of imports and exports, do not apply anymore. Companies need to face the implications of this on value creation and the utilization of their capacities with determination.
• The expectations of customers have changed. In the place of ever new speed records, costs and environmental awareness will be the decisive factors for the industry and have a major impact on its development.

Lasting changes in the markets are calling for determined action. Companies need to be able to cover their everyday business at all times, withstand enormous cost pressures despite a volatile environment, and live up to the changing demands of their customers. At the same time, they need to pave the way for future success in a slowly resurgent industry. This is the time that the cards are reshuffled, new business partnerships are created, changed networks are set up, new services are requested by clients, and markets are consolidated.

In order to remain successful in future, companies need to find a clear vision for their future development. As a transformation consultancy, Kienbaum is the right partner to achieve this.
