T his is the end of my career in the most international company. Never thought I would speak out these words so soon. But it was inevitable. The last 2,3 months were very hard. On the one hand I became more and more aware that the logistics business was complex and customers very demanding. On the other hand I realized that I was not happy within this domain. Finally I sat down with the HR business partner. We had a long conversation and came to a mutual agreement. No regrets, no hard feelings. It was a fantastic experience but not my passion. So the best thing to do is to quit.  But how to quit in a smart way?

SPOTLIGHT ON… Brazil ​ The DHL Express network covers 92% of the economically significant areas of Brazil, which are clustered in the south and south-east of the country. It offers more international connections to and from this region than the competition. We have three gateways in Brazil: Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Viracopos. This allows us to deliver faster to the final destination in Brazil than the competitors, who only have one gateway each. ​

In order to be profitable, today’s e-commerce companies are adapting their logistics – using new optimization levers inspired by methods that have already proven to be successful in the warehouse.  The growing pressure of logistics chain flows, which are particularly noticeable in the e-commerce sector, has contributed to this change.  Direct shipping to the end customer and growing demands in terms of the service provided have led companies who were originally delivering directly to stores to reposition their logistics in order to adapt to the B2C model.  Some companies prefer to outsource their logistics, while others insource it by developing their processes.

Many companies are behind consumers in switching to omni-channel sales while logistics can help them gain significant competitive advantages, according to a new DHL study released today. Traditional channel-based approaches are out The logistics industry has a significant role to play in the transformation to an omni-channel business model, says the in-depth DHL Omni-Channel Logistics Trend Report, published in collaboration with the data analyzer IDC Manufacturing Insights.
