PEOPLE, TECH AND PARTNERSHIPS
My first edition marks an important interaction between analytics, people-first relationships and the all-important partnerships that form the foundation of the logistics we rely on.
Inside this month’ s Supply Chain Digital, we hear from experts at DHL on how analytics is using real-time, predictive, AI-driven intelligence to turn numbers into meaningful predictions.
Elsewhere, with Supply Chain LIVE and the Global Supply Chain Awards 2026 just over a month away, we take a detailed look at the speakers, panels and workshops. Dozens of inspiring leaders are braced to offer insight into how they have been navigating a host of geopolitical issues.
As for the awards, we can’ t wait to celebrate those who have thrived in testing times.
