It is an open secret that globalisation also has its dark sides. Dependencies on individual economies, but also on functioning global supply chains, are increasing. The jamming of the Suez Canal or the Corona Pandemic were particularly drastic examples of how susceptible logistics systems can be to disruption. Combined with the pressure to innovate and digitise, this means that the logistics industry is facing far-reaching changes in order to continue to meet the high demands of customers. The challenge: In the logistics industry, this high pressure is exacerbated by low margins, a shortage of skilled workers, scarcity of cargo space and other aspects.
What ZUFALL is doing:
Truly, there is a lot to do, but we are not afraid of the future. As a company, we have set our heading and our sights on innovation and digitisation. We already rely on state-of-the-art technology, such as advanced transport management software. At the same time, in 2019 we created the zufall.lab, a place to promote innovation within our own company. This is where ZUFALLers develop ideas and pilot projects and test them in the field for their future viability.
Another building block of our economic success is long-term partnerships and customer relationships. Because our conviction is that long-term success is more important than short-term profits. This cross-generational thinking and acting is in our DNA as a family business.
