From data to delivery: how 3 top parcel operators transformed their last-mile
Cédric Hervet, Co-Founder & CEO - Kardinal
The last mile is the most complex and expensive part of parcel delivery, often representing up to half of total logistics costs. Yet, it’s also where data can make the biggest difference.
In this session, Kardinal will share how 3 major delivery players, DPD Switzerland, GLS France, and Ciblex, leveraged data to transform their last-mile operations. From redefining territories and optimizing subcontracting strategies to fully automating route planning, these projects show how data-driven decisions can boost efficiency and cut costs.
Join us to explore how leading parcel operators are using data to build smarter, faster, and more resilient last-mile networks.

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.

A new era of ergonomic trailer unloading starts now!
Oliver Kaufmann, Product Lifecycle Manager - Körber
Trailer unloading remains one of the most physically demanding and time-consuming tasks in parcel logistics. Operators face tight spaces, repetitive lifting and twisting motions — leading to inefficiencies and injury risks. With labor shortages and growing ergonomic awareness, smarter solutions are urgently needed. In this talk, we’ll explore the various types of truck unloaders and help you identify the best fit for your operational needs. Whether transitioning from manual processes or scaling up automation, the right solution can significantly streamline parcel intake and bulk flow. Innovative solutions now make it possible to reduce physical strain by up to 90% and double throughput at each dock, reaching up to 3,000 parcels per hour with single-person operation. You will gain insights into how trailer unloading is entering a new era — more ergonomic, efficient, and future-ready than ever before.
