How does multinational company Craft navigate challenging circumstances in the global supply chain?
"Craft is a company that is unique in a way that it’s never been afraid to react quickly and go wherever the industry needs, in order to improve the ease of doing business in the complex environment of international logistics, which
is even more challenging in the South American market, where we were born into,” says Priscilla Bueno, Chief Transformation Officer. “But moreover, we understand the meaning of relationships in order to act effectively in such circumstances, on all key points of the supply chain, and the way our teams are built clearly reflects that."

What role does data sharing play in the smooth running of the supply chain?
“Digital ecosystems built on technological connectivity and strategic partnerships among businesses are also on the rise, when we compare to the situation a few years ago," says Niko Hossain, CEO and Managing Director of logistics.cloud. "Back then, every solution provider and every player on the market tried to operate independently with a winner-take-all mentality. Fortunately, today there is an understanding that you have to work together in large digital ecosystems to survive and thrive."

Bricz: Leaning into growth by providing the supply chain solutions of tomorrow

Again, this goes back to our ethos of listening to the customer and doing what's right for them, finding the truly best solution for them and then pushing that forward.”

What makes Fläkt Group’s service supply chain strategy so challenging?
“What is special about the service supply chain is that the demand is not predictable. But it's a good thing because if it was predictable, it would represent bad news for product failures,” explains Nadine Hessel, Global Director for Supply Chain & Infrastructure. “There are some components that you can exchange and maintain on a service visit, but most of the demand levels for parts are unpredictable. But nonetheless, for me, it's important to have an overview of what we have sold to do some kind of forecasting when possible. So planning is still super important.”
Learn more about the innovative technology and supply chain strategies that have propelled FläktGroup to become a leader in the indoor air quality industry.

In other industries, the product improvement cycle takes years, if you look at cars as an example– in retail banking operations, you constantly challenge existing processes, improvements are implemented every month and that's what I really love about the job.”
