On June 5-6, 2008, the international conference “E-Logistics Networking” will take place in Tomaszowice near Krakow. This will be the first meeting of logistics managers in Central and Eastern Europe. The organizer is Transporeon, a leader in IT solutions for the TSL industry. The goal of the conference will be to demonstrate the capabilities of specialized IT systems in shaping modern e-logistics.
The participants of the meeting will be representatives of international corporations operating in, among others, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, and Hungary, as well as academic researchers. Practical solutions of the logistics platform will be presented in the context of local challenges and problems.
The premise for organizing the meeting was the observation of a growing demand for solutions in the field of e-logistics in this part of Europe. With the expansion of the European Union, entrepreneurs from Central and Eastern Europe have entered a particularly difficult and challenging period. Adapting to Western European requirements means the necessity of respecting rigorous quality standards. At the same time, the local business environment is characterized by poorer infrastructure, and therefore is more financially burdensome. This is one of the main reasons for seeking new solutions that will enable the optimization of logistics processes. E-logistics, i.e., a system for managing all aspects of goods flow online, is gaining importance. Comprehensive solutions are being sought that will increase the efficiency of distribution centers, improve delivery punctuality, and enable optimal use of available resources.
– Logistics and distribution centers in Central and Eastern European countries are facing increasingly difficult tasks. Implementing a logistics platform is a strategic process that results in a change in the philosophy of transport management in a company. The “E-Logistics Networking” conference will be an excellent opportunity to learn about methods of effective logistics management via the Internet – assures Marek Poznański from Transporeon.
Presenting the applications of the logistics platform, proven in local markets, will bring these issues closer to the managers invited to the conference. The substantive contribution of academic researchers to the project is a testament to the professionalism of the undertaking.
