Trends
Four major driving trends shape commerce globally and threaten to disrupt
supply chains
What happens in one sector
shows up in an entirely
different sector
Continually escalating
expectations for service,
price and performance
Competition can come from
anywhere at anytime
Consumerism and
boundary bleed
Engines of demand with
growing middle class and
urbanization
Rising consumer
expectations
Lack of transportation
infrastructure, adequate
warehousing space and
even supply chain expertise
in some markets
Emerging
markets
Increased speed of business
Increased
interconnectedness
Highly complex, intertwined
and fast market place which
creates enormous risks and
volatility
Fast, lean
and risky
Trade flows are shifting
away from long-distance and
east-west orientation
Regionalized supply chains
in which goods are produced
and sold/ consumed in the
same geographic region
The rise of
regionalism

The market
The supply chain industry continues to
see considerable revenue growth
UK is a mature market – we are at the
front edge of outsourced logistics
Commoditisation is putting pressure on
margins
This drives an emphasis on customer
experience to differentiate and help
define future products

“Business is robust for 3PLs, but as cost-cutting becomes the priority for manufacturers and retailers, more businesses continue to look around for services at a lower price—driving down satisfaction, renewal rates, and contract length”
Supply Chain Management Review
9
Customers are our most valuable asset
The CLV of each customer is high – and
so is the financial impact of the loss
The pool to fish in is small
It remains easier to win with those who
already know us
Long-term customer relationships make
our business more stable
Losing a customer disrupts the business in
a number of ways
Why building long term relationships matters (to DHL)
10
Key challenges
Multiple Stakeholders
Complex buying behaviours
More people to influence
Great and consistent experience
for all
VoC – users and decision makers
Competition
Commoditisation
Harder to differentiate
Need to offer more for less
Need to continually innovate and
bring new ideas
Business Knowledge
Deep and intimate understanding of
their business
Know the ‘why’ as well as the ‘what’
Business and personal drivers
Every solution is bespoke
Customer Management
Who owns
Top down, bottom up
Nothing is transactional – so
deeper relationships
No such thing as ‘too much info’
