ICT Group Smart Logistics Summit

Towards the zero-impact last mile

Urban logistics is about economically vital and healthy inner cities and residential areas. And now, fortunately, about much more than just zero emissions: less CO emissions, road safety, noise and, above all, less traffic and nuisance in public spaces. Urban logistics must become zero impact.

The pressure on space and the quest for more liveability, energy transition, circularity, and traffic safety in the city require new solutions. Municipalities are going about it. Companies need to follow.

During the ICT Group Smart Logistics Summit, Walther Ploos van Amstel presents on how companies can prepare for that future of the last mile to, for example, construction sites, consumers, the hospitality industry and shops. And for the return flows coming from the city. What does this new last mile mean for the first of the supply chain? How do you respond smartly, customer-focused and profitably to all these new requirements?

Trends in warehousing

The turbulent 20th century has made it painfully clear that companies have insufficient control over their logistics. To gain more control, companies want their chains to operate as a coherent whole. Replacing just a WMS usually does not get you there. If necessary, the entire IT landscape has to be changed. The latest trend is the end-to-end supply chain. Independent consultant Jeroen van den Berg examined 20 current cases of companies to find out what the objectives and motives are for investing in logistics software.

Emission registration: a successful collaboration between Heijmans, Top Sector Logistics and ICT Incore

Last year, Heijmans, Top Sector Logistics and ICT Incore joined forces and took successful steps in the field of emissions registration. In this, the construction sector is filling an emphatic pioneering role compared to other sectors. Soon, however, other sectors will also have to comply with legal emission requirements.

In a 40-minute break-out session, Nikki Pije (Senior Advisor Construction Logistics) will present Heijmans' sustainability efforts and the role the Supply Chain Portal plays in this. Heijmans uses ICT Incore's Supply Chain Portal at its construction sites to support construction logistics, with the Portal now also supporting emissions registration.

During her presentation, Nikki discusses the importance of having insight into emissions, calculating emissions per trip and making this data transparent to the chain parties connected to the Portal.
