Success, Failure, and Everything in Between: 10 Years of Digital Transformation in Parcel & Postal
Cédric Hervet, CEO - Kardinal
Cédric Hervet (PhD in Mathematics, Co-CEO) will share insights from a decade of digital projects in the parcel and postal sector, both the ones that succeeded and those that failed, and the key factors that make the difference, from data foundations to leadership and change management. In 2025, as technology providers, we are witnessing a true paradigm shift in how AI is perceived: the race is on, and there is a clear acceleration in the digital projects driving the market. Yet many operators are struggling to separate hype from real value. We could clarify the distinctions between GenAI, classical AI, and mathematical optimisation, and explain how each of these approaches can play a role in building an effective and profitable technology strategy.

The Spatial Revolution: Democratizing 3D Insight in Logistics
Duncan Bell- ROONIQ
Smartphones are becoming powerful spatial tools. Equipped with depth sensors and advanced computer vision, they can now capture precise 3D information about the physical world — instantly, and from anyone’s pocket.

This talk explores how that capability will transform logistics. From measuring irregular parcels and verifying cargo dimensions to documenting damage and optimizing warehouse workflows, smartphones are bringing 3D understanding to the frontline of operations. No bulky scanners, no expert training — just accessible, affordable technology that puts millimetre accuracy into the hands of every worker and customer.

Duncan Bell outlines how this democratization of depth data changes the economics of logistics, bridging the gap between physical and digital workflows and defining a new standard of efficiency, transparency, and trust.
