its US expansion and plans to build the platform further into Mexico and South America . “ We ’ re reacting to requests from our customers to provide our services in different continents ,” he says . “ It ’ s a sign of our success that they trust us to support and help them expand their own businesses as we in turn expand ours .”
What are Higelin ’ s predictions for the logistics industry ? “ Currently it ’ s a fragmented market with a lot of small players who favour one logistics partner ,” he says . “ We predict the new trend will play to our strengths with a platform approach allowing us to offer one solution while combining the skills of smaller players and helping us consolidate the market . We ’ re focused on the mantra : ‘ Think global , ask local .’ There ’ s a great opportunity to link digitally worldwide , while locally you can focus on efficient shipment and last mile delivery . Just like Uber you can have the same interface everywhere . We ’ re trying to create new standards like this with our platform approach as each company is trying to optimise their operations , minimise dead miles and empty kms , so there ’ s a real need for these standards and cooperation between companies to renew the transport industry .”
Looking to the future , Higelin wants the Redpsher group to draw on its strengths and meet the challenge of further developing and interconnecting its own businesses . “ We aim to develop cross-selling between our brands to deliver a more seamless experience for our current and future customers across the globe .”
