Cargo Stream Hosts Conference “Freight Forwarding: Status Quo and Its Future”

Freight forwarders are currently undergoing a shift where they have to choose whether to stick to their current working practices or become digital freight forwarders. To address the dilemma, Cargo stream, together with the Lithuanian National Association of Freight Forwarders and Logistics Professionals, organised a conference called “Freight Forwarding: Status Quo and Its Future”.

During the event, opened by the vice minister of Transport and Communications in Lithuania, PhD Agnė Vaiciukevičiūtė, experts discussed the topics of collaboration, technologies, and leadership.

The representative of the Lithuanian National Association of Freight Forwarders and Logistics Professionals, Edmundas Daukantas, presented the current challenges faced by the sector and best practices abroad, focusing on how collaboration, including collaboration technologies, can improve the efficiency of freight forwarding.

Sarunas Belickas, the COO at Cargo stream, spoke about the process of adopting technologies in freight forwarding, focusing on outlining the steps of the task from self-service portals to fully automatised collaboration platforms.

Linas Dungveckis, a military and business leadership coach, has provided a short workshop on leadership during transformations, helping the event’s participants identify the core skills and practices needed to digitalise their operations successfully.

The conference was closed by a panel discussion where the experts shared their opinions on the largest threats to the sector and issues arising in the way of automating the work processes.

Cargo stream hopes that the event will start a dialogue among freight forwarders and help them easily adopt technology tools.

In 2021, almost 90% of European consulting firms saw a rise in profits from their supply chain consulting activities

Based on the research at Supply Chain Media BV, nearly three-quarters of the firms executed supply chain network optimization projects most often, followed by Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) projects (68%) and supply chain strategy projects (61%).

Daily supply chain management with emails, calls, Excel and internal TMS is a tough enough job to do. If you add chaos, pandemic, and other issues, this process becomes unstable and hurts businesses.

We are here to help consultants ease their solution-finding process. We are also with shippers and carriers in finding solutions to their struggles.

Two 2-day long sessions to get to know the modern technology that makes it easier for everyone involved in the supply chain.

Where is the ship with my container?

"𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫?"

This question gets emailed thousands of times every single day to all of the global #shippinglines.

Fewer emails mean more productivity, which means more profit!

Right now, we've launched a pilot where we integrate ship telematics into Cargo stream.
