Most digitalisation projects don't fail inside the ERP system. They fail at the edges.

A recent industry survey put the limited digital maturity of partners, meaning suppliers and freight forwarders, at the top of the list of obstacles in logistics. Missing standards and integrations followed close behind, named by 43% of respondents.

The industry's standard answer to this is the suite. One vendor, one system, everything from a single source. It sounds like the problem disappears. It doesn't. It moves.

No supply chain ends at the company boundary. A company can map every internal process inside one system and still face the question of how its supplier in Bangladesh, its forwarder in Rotterdam and its customs provider feed in their data. And once everything runs through a single vendor, every new requirement waits on that vendor's roadmap.

We chose the other route: a strong collaborative core, and open integrations with specialists around it. That is what our partner network is actually for.

Nächste Woche steht auf der LogiNext Germany viel KI auf dem Programm. Unsere Position vorab: Die meisten KI-Projekte in der Lieferkette scheitern nicht am Modell. Sie scheitern an den Daten.

Fragen Sie ein Unternehmen, wo eine Order gerade steht, und Sie bekommen eine Antwort. Fragen Sie, wo der Stoff dafür gebucht wurde und ob der Lieferant den verschobenen Termin bestätigt hat, dann kommt die Antwort drei E-Mails und zwei Excel-Dateien später. Wenn überhaupt.

Das löst kein Modell. Man kann keine Entscheidung automatisieren, deren Daten nur im Postfach einer Person liegen.

Zuerst wirkt das Unspektakuläre: Lieferanten im selben Workflow, Bestätigungen als strukturierte Daten statt als Anhang, Plan gegen Ist ohne manuelle Rekonstruktion.

Danach lohnt sich das Gespräch über KI.

Genau darüber wollen wir in Hamburg sprechen. Christian Trappe, unser Head of Sales, ist am 2. und 3. September im CCH. Wenn Sie in einer der KI-Sessions sitzen und danach eine ehrliche Einordnung wollen: Melden Sie sich bei ihm.

Most companies only find out what a shipment really cost once the invoice lands.

Base rate, bunker surcharge, risk premium, port fees - they quietly stack up, and without structured tracking per shipment, the real cost stays unclear until it's already booked.

The same thing played out in the past: companies without cost visibility per shipment got blindsided by after-the-fact surcharges and couldn't defend their margin in time. The companies tracking freight cost per shipment and linking it to production and booking data saw the cost drivers in real time, not after the fact. They could act before margin took the hit.

Tariffs change faster than your purchase order.

Most procurement teams still calculate cost once, at the moment they place the order. But what happens when the duty rate shifts before the goods even arrive?

In our latest blog, we break down why the purchase price alone no longer tells you what an order actually costs, and what it takes to see landed cost before you place it, not after.

Red Sea, Strait of Hormuz, frontloading. Three separate stories converging on the same result: rates spiking again.

Carriers are still avoiding the Suez Canal in favor of the Cape of Good Hope, adding up to two weeks of transit time. At the same time, tensions around Iran are pushing up insurance and security costs, while US companies are pulling forward imports ahead of new tariffs.
Rising demand meeting constrained capacity is a familiar equation. And we're watching it play out again.

It's the same lesson from the COVID era: companies that could move between contract and spot markets weren't stuck when one route seized up, because they had constant visibility into bookings, costs, and capacity, not just a signed annual contract.

Find out how the three factors interact, and what it means for global supply chains in this article: https://www.setlog.com/en/why-freight-costs-are-surging-again-in-2026-and-how-companies-can-build-more-resilient-supply-chains

The Shanghai Containerized Freight Index just crossed 3,100 points - almost double than where it started the year.

The end of 2025 looked like relief: new vessel capacity, falling rates, more planning certainty. A few months later, the picture has flipped.

This echoes 2021: back then, the companies that came out ahead weren't the ones with the biggest freight budget. They were the ones with the best visibility into bookings and supplier status. The same holds today. Connect freight cost per shipment with booking data in real time, instead of chasing it across spreadsheets and email threads, and you catch where surcharges are hitting before they eat into margin.

Find out what's actually driving this spike, and what it means for global supply chains in this article: https://www.setlog.com/en/why-freight-costs-are-surging-again-in-2026-and-how-companies-can-build-more-resilient-supply-chains

Extreme weather is no longer just an environmental issue.

It is becoming a supply chain issue.

Floods, droughts, heat waves, and infrastructure disruptions are increasingly affecting transportation networks, production sites, and supplier operations around the world. For supply chain leaders, climate risk is no longer a long-term concern. It is already influencing planning, delivery performance, and operational resilience.

In this article, we explore:
• why climate risk is becoming operational risk
• how extreme weather is putting critical infrastructure under pressure
• why companies are rethinking supply chain design and supplier strategies
• and how climate resilience is becoming a long-term competitive advantage

The supply chains that thrive in the future will not be the ones that simply react to disruption. They will be the ones designed to adapt to it.
