Digital disruptors will no more kill-off today\u2019s forwarding sector than the advent of European rail did in the 1800s, according to director general of the British International Freight Association (BIFA), Robert Keen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week Robert Keen (pictured) described comments from a \u2018disrupter\u2019, that with digitalisation accelerating globally as a result of COVID-19, it believes the future of the traditional freight forwarder is more precarious than ever, as PR puff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s this idea that if forwarders do not adapt, they will die \u2013 but you just need to look back at the sector\u2019s history, it has always adapted. Said Robert\u201d
Technology adoption, conception and development has been a critical success factor since Metro\u2019s inception and, as one of our four key service pillars, is a unique selling point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe keep hearing the usual spin from digital start-ups on how their presence in the sector will lead to the death of traditional forwarders,\u201d said Mr Keen. \u201cIt\u2019s a load of rubbish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are already developing and delivering technology-led products and services that will meet customers needs more effectively, enhance their experience and cut their costs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Granted, some forwarders will fall by the wayside if they\u2019re yet to go digital, but most worth their salt have been offering at least track & trace solutions of all shapes and sizes for many years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Keen said forwarders were \u201cincredibly adaptive\u201d, saying that there is evidence daily of freight forwarders developing systems comparable with those of digital disruptors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Metro hire the best and most-gifted forwarding and software development staff, directing their efforts to deliver the highest value, embedding themselves in our customers\u2019 entire supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
