As the global community grapples with the consequences of climate change, the logistics industry finds itself at a critical crossroads. With transportation accounting for 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and logistics playing a substantial role, the onus is on us to take meaningful action. While governments, businesses, and consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious, logistics needs to step up its game—not just to comply with regulations but to lead the char

The Southern Philippines Logistics Hub marks a turning point for the logistics industry in the region. As Davao positions itself as a regional logistics hub, forwarders must recognize that the playing field is evolving rapidly. Facilities will improve, port operations will speed up, and supply chains will become more interconnected. Forwarders who fail to adapt risk being left behind, while those who prepare now will thrive. This isn’t a distant reality; it’s unfolding as we

The logistics and transportation industry is the backbone of economic activity. It ensures that goods, services, and resources flow efficiently, supporting businesses, consumers, and trade. But in the Philippines, this vital sector faces unique challenges: complex geography, traffic congestion, limited infrastructure, and highly manual processes. To overcome these hurdles and remain competitive in today’s global supply chain, one path is clear:  digital transformation . Under

Logistics in the Philippines plays a huge role in keeping the economy moving. From food reaching store shelves to goods being shipped across islands and borders, logistics is everywhere. Yet, it remains one of the most complex, fragmented, and delayed sectors in the country. And as someone who’s spent decades building technology for logistics businesses, I can say with certainty — going digital isn’t just a “nice to have” anymore, it’s a must.

The Philippine logistics industry is no stranger to disruption. With over 7,000 islands connected by air, sea, and road—and a climate that brings seasonal monsoons and typhoons—smooth movement of goods is often easier said than done. Every year, the rainy season exposes the same cracks: flooded roads, delayed shipments, grounded vessels, and disconnected updates. As someone who has spent decades building technology for the logistics sector, I’ve seen a common pattern—disrupti

Logistics in the Philippines is a story of ambition meeting complexity. Spread across more than 7,000 islands, the archipelago presents a unique geographical challenge, one that demands agility, coordination, and resilience from supply chain operations. For years, businesses have relied on fragmented systems and localized solutions to manage this complexity. But with growing trade volumes and rising customer expectations, the cracks in this approach are starting to show. Clou

The recent US tariff spike on several Indian products has created immediate pressure on exporters—cash-flow strain, shipment delays, and payment risk. To absorb the shock, the Government of India and the RBI have rolled out a mix of financial and operational relaxations. Here is the clean breakdown. 1. What the Government Announced A six-year export support programme (~₹25,060 crore) split into two parts: Niryat Protsahan Financial support : easier trade finance, factoring, c

The modern supply chain is drowning in data, but starving for actionable intelligence. For freight forwarders , simply having  historical shipment and invoice records is no longer enough. The competitive edge belongs to those who actively use operations analysis to predict trends, kill bottlenecks, and protect profit margins. No one reads long reports anymore. Here is the distilled, high-impact breakdown of why you must move your data from the archives to the dashboard: The C
