When Guido Gries, Managing Director of Dachser Americas, spoke at last month's USC Summit “Global Trade and Economic Plenary” panel, he outlined some key challenges facing global shippers these days.
“There have been a number of industry changes that have had an impact on trade,” he said. “These include automation and the adaptation of digitized technologies.”
He added that the automotive industry, for example, is quickly moving into the “electronic era,” which represents a new phase for manufacturers and supply chain managers.
“Finally,” he observed, “the enforcement of tariffs are also accelerating these changes. As a consequence, there's been some disruption of trade routes and supply chains.”
Dascher, though, seems to have prevailed in addressing some of those concerns.
Gries was later on hand to accept the 3PL Excellence Award 2019 by the University of Southern California and the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
The 3PL Excellence award recognizes organizations and individuals that provide exceptional value as a third party logistics provider through customer service, reliability, and industry expertise. It also honors company capability, innovation, thought-leadership, customer service, company stability and reputation.
“Putting special emphasis on customer centricity, Dachser has excelled in each of these dimensions”, said Nick Vyas, Executive Director of the Center for Global Supply Chain Management.
