Logistics Drives Automotive Growth in Southern Africa

Posted on by David Priestman

DP World has unveiled a fully integrated logistics and market-entry solution aimed at addressing the long-standing challenges for automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) seeking growth in the sub-Saharan Africa region.

Sub-Saharan Africa is projected to be among the fastest-growing automotive markets globally, with vehicle demand expected to increase by 28.5% by 2030, driven by rising incomes, urbanisation and surging intra-African trade. Yet despite this potential, Africa accounts for only about 1% of global vehicle sales, whilst being home to approximately 18% of the world’s population. For global OEMs, a lack of dependable logistics infrastructure, complex regulatory requirements and unreliable parts distribution have hindered efforts to expand in the region.

DP World’s new turnkey solution is the company’s first automotive hybrid model in the region, blending contract logistics and tailored market-entry and expansion services on a unified platform. The offering includes nationwide distribution to most dealerships within 24 to 48 hours, a digital dealer portal offering SKU (Stock Keeping Unit)-level inventory visibility, real-time tracking, automated ordering and integrated payments.

The solution was successfully piloted with Foton Motor, a leading Chinese commercial vehicle manufacturer. By leveraging DP World’s end-to-end support platform, Foton rapidly established aftermarket operations in South Africa for their heavy commercial vehicles, including warehousing, nationwide distribution, regulatory compliance and digital dealer enablement. The rapid entry positioned Foton South Africa a first mover with integrated service networks, creating an early advantage to build customer trust and engagement.

David D’Annunzio, Global Vice President & Vertical Lead, Automotive at DP World, emphasised the strategic impact of this solution: “The demand for vehicles is booming in Africa, but the difficulty is ensuring vehicles and parts can reach where they are needed, when needed. Our turnkey solution will change the game for OEMs, removing the traditional friction points and allowing them to scale their operations. This is the new blueprint for OEM expansion in Africa.”

Mr Fu Jun, President of Foton International at Foton Motor Group commented: “Growing our presence in South Africa is a priority for Foton, and our work with DP World has played an important role in making that possible. Their support with unlocking market and contract logistics services has helped make our aftermarket operations efficient and straightforward, allowing us to concentrate on serving our customers and building our business”.

The new hybrid model also allows OEMs to build first-mover advantage in a region where after-market parts are often dominated by informal players and grey imports. By offering a reliable service network, OEMs like Foton can establish trust, secure long-term customer loyalty and reduce the risk of counterfeit parts, with a single point of contact and accountability within the market.

Mark Rylance, Chief Operating Officer for Logistics at DP World Sub-Saharan Africa, said: “The automotive industry’s outlook for Africa is changing fast. The question is no longer whether to enter the market, but how to do it effectively. With extensive infrastructure across the region, and deep expertise in complex logistics and market solutions, DP World is ideally placed to support international automakers looking to enter or expand into one of the world’s fastest-growing automotive markets.”

DP World expects to create more innovative solutions to support additional OEMs entering markets across Sub-Saharan Africa over the coming years, as it scales its offering to meet growing demand for commercial and passenger vehicles in the region.

Sub-Saharan Africa Tipped For Consumer Growth

 

AI-based Contract Logistics

Posted on by David Priestman

Better stock accuracy and planning can be achieved with AI, in the Gulf and elsewhere, writes Trevor Stamp (pictured below), Head of Contract Logistics, GAC Dubai.

The Middle East has rapidly grown in prominence as a key distribution hub in response to global boom in online retail and e-commerce sparked by the pandemic.

Consumer habits were permanently changed by lockdown, prompting greater demand for warehousing, fulfilment and cargo processing capacity in a region that sits strategically at the crossroads of key trade routes linking Asia to Europe. That trend shows no signs of slowing. Just in the last six month, we have witnessed an increase in trade of almost 20% in the e-commerce sector, owing to an earlier than expected peak season for the holiday period as many sought earlier deliveries to avoid the risks associated with a potentially disruptive supply chain.

To help retailers meet higher consumer expectations, the Middle East’s logistics sector is investing in core infrastructure and processes to handle growing volumes of cargo and increasingly complex supply chains.

Trevor Stamp, GAC Dubai

Greater use is being made of AI-based technologies as the sector moves beyond a ‘pallet in, pallet out’ business model and towards a future that focuses on the cross-docking setups that are more suited to e-commerce. This approach becomes even more important when you consider the scale of modern logistics operations in the region.

AI-phobia

In Dubai, for example, GAC’s contract logistics operation has grown to be able to process enough throughput to fill its 4,300 m³ base, which includes more than 250,000 pallet locations and 300,000 pick faces. Handling such a volume of cargo on a daily basis demands a digital structure that incorporates modern agile processes, including automation, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain and the Internet of Things.

GAC’s recent adoption of the Manhattan SCALE platform for some of its contract logistics operations is a clear example of that next step. By embracing AI into day-to-day operations, our teams have more access to greater planning capabilities, labour management tools and forecasting elements – all critical ingredients for success in a booming e-commerce market.

Already, the advantages of using AI to facilitate better stock accuracy and planning capabilities are clear – throughput at our Dubai hub by more than 15%. To thrive in this new era, the Middle East logistics sector must embrace technology and new digital ways of working. But we must also be wary of the potential risks and obstacles.

Some apprehension – or even suspicion – is inevitable when adopting new software, particularly when AI is involved. Workforces that have been working a certain way for an extended period time will likely push back on major changes to their day-to-day working processes. Such ‘AI phobia’ is linked to misunderstanding the benefits it offers for efficiency, data security and reliability.

This is something we have experienced firsthand at GAC. Some of our tenured professionals have been working in a certain way at our warehouse for more than 25 years, so a major shakeup was bound to be met with some uncertainty. We helped ease our people through that emotional curve by switching on functions slowly, reallocating resources and personnel accordingly, and continuously educating our teams on how the system works to their advantage. Adopting AI-based software at GAC Dubai has been the biggest shake-up in contract logistics operation in more than two decades, but we have been able slowly upskill our team, bringing benefits to both our workforce and our customers.

Despite some initial skepticism and AI-phobia, the transition has been welcomed and the long-term competitive benefits have already begun bearing fruit. If the Middle East is to remain at the epicentre of modern logistics, change is a must to ensure the region’s long-term competitiveness in a constantly evolving market.

GXO Trumps CEVA’s Wincanton Offer

Posted on by Keith McKinley

Wincanton Logistics Directors are now supporting a £762m takeover offer from the American third party logistics company GXO and have withdrawn their backing for a rival bid from CEVA Logistics.

Wincanton said on Friday that directors intended to recommend unanimously an offer of 605p a share made by GXO on Thursday. In the latest twist in the takeover battle, the Wincanton board withdrew their backing for an increased and final cash offer from Marseille-based CEVA Logistics at 480p a share. The GXO offer is pitched at a 29% premium to the record high share price of 470p reached during the period to 18 January, the last business day before Wincanton received a £567m bid from CEVA.

Currently listed on the London Stock Exchange, Wincanton is a leading supply chain partner for British and Irish business, and a trusted partner to many of the UK and Ireland’s most recognisable brands and influential public bodies. Wincanton provides business critical services and takes care of all customers’ supply chain needs and a range of outsourced and integrated supply chain solutions, across four sectors: efulfilment; Grocery & Consumer; General Merchandise; and Public & Industrial.

With almost 100 years’ heritage, Wincanton’s 20,300-strong team operates from more than 170 sites across the country, responsible for 8,500 vehicles. For FY23, Wincanton generated revenue of £1,462 million, underlying EBITDA of £121.9 million.

GXO Trumps CEVA

CMA CGM provided this statement to Logistics Business:

On 19 January 2024, the boards of directors of Wincanton plc (“Wincanton”) and CEVA Logistics UK Rose Limited (“CEVA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CEVA Logistics S.A. (“CEVA Logistics”), itself a subsidiary of CMA CGM S.A. (“CMA CGM”), made an announcement pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the Code that they had reached agreement on the terms and conditions of a recommended cash offer for the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Wincanton by CEVA (the “Acquisition”), to be implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the “Scheme”).

The scheme document in respect of the Acquisition (the “Scheme Document”) was published and made available to Wincanton Shareholders on 15 February 2024. A supplementary announcement to the Scheme Document was then published on 26 February 2024 pursuant to which CEVA announced the terms of an Increased and Final Offer (as defined therein) (the “Supplementary Scheme Announcement”). CEVA reserved the right to increase the Increased and Final Offer Price (as defined in the Supplementary Scheme Announcement) if a competing offer was made for Wincanton.

On 29 February 2024 a competing offer was announced for Wincanton. On 1 March 2024 the Wincanton Directors announced that they no longer recommend the Increased and Final Offer.
Following the Wincanton Directors’ change in recommendation, in accordance with Note 2 on Rule 32.2 of the Takeover Code, CEVA confirms that it will not set aside the no price increase statement in the Supplementary Scheme Announcement. Furthermore, CEVA will not switch to a takeover offer (as defined in section 974 of the Companies Act 2006) in respect of Wincanton. It is CEVA’s intention that the Increased and Final Offer will lapse in due course.

CEVA felt that the Increased and Final Offer represented a very attractive opportunity for all Wincanton stakeholders, notably its employees, clients and the Wincanton Shareholders.
As a global leader, CMA CGM will continue deploying its growth roadmap, leveraging its clear business strategy and very robust balance sheet, while always maintaining a clear focus on value creation with financial discipline in any acquisition.

CEVA Logistics and CMA CGM are committed to serving their clients and growing their presence in the United Kingdom which remains a core market for the CMA CGM group.
This announcement should be read in conjunction with the Scheme Document and the Supplementary Scheme Announcement. Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Scheme Document.

Wincanton chairman, Sir Martin Read, said: “Under the current management team, we have made positive progress and ensured that Wincanton is at the forefront of logistics innovation. The board of Wincanton is pleased that GXO recognises the very significant value inherent in this business and intends to recommend the offer to shareholders for their consideration.”

Lead Logistics Provider Service Launches

Posted on by David Priestman

Unipart Logistics has launched a major new service offering, positioning itself as a Lead Logistics Provider (LLP). The company believes now is the ideal time to unveil its new proposition with supply chain uncertainty caused by events such as Brexit, Covid and the Ukraine conflict. It says businesses are increasingly looking for a single, trusted and independent LLP which can enable them to achieve strategic transformation through increased resilience, productivity and sustainability across the supply chain.

Central to its proposition is a bespoke, fully integrated LLP platform providing real-time visibility and control to manage a customer’s supply chain, now and into the future. Unipart Logistics, whose customers include Jaguar Land Rover, Airbus, Sky and NHS Supply Chain, has invested significantly in the development of its LLP proposition including a dedicated team of specialists in operations, business development and data analytics.

Ian Truesdale, Managing Director of Unipart Logistics, said: “Until the last few years, we had had a reasonable amount of supply chain stability, but more recent events have changed this and we are now in a period of immense geo-political uncertainty. Our LLP proposition is a natural extension of the services we already provide to many of our customers, including some of the biggest names in automotive, tech and healthcare. We have built true collaborative partnerships with many of our customers, often over many years, and we will bring the same approach as an LLP. The total visibility and real-time information our platform offers businesses make it truly unique. The launch of the LLP offering is an important part of our own growth plans, but also has the potential to accelerate the growth of our customers.”

Adam Jones, Business Development and Sector Strategies Director, is spearheading the LLP service and industry engagement. Adam joined Unipart Logistics in December after 15 years’ experience in supply chain logistics across multiple sectors for companies including DHL Supply Chain, ArrowXL and Wincanton. He added: “Unipart Logistics has the history, knowledge and expertise to deliver an outstanding LLP experience. Our unique platform gives customers the ability to control, design and manage everything in one place and, crucially, in real-time, driving continuous operational improvement.

“Our data-driven platform allows businesses to make decisions today, but also supports planning five years and beyond, future-proofing their supply chain and enabling strategic decision-making.
In addition to increased resilience and productivity, the other major benefit of our platform is its capability to support an organisation’s sustainability goals and net zero targets. We can work with our customers to embed greater sustainability across the supply chain considering the business imperatives of speed, cost savings and efficiencies alongside net zero targets.”

Businesses reviewing their end-to-end supply chain can take advantage of the recently launched Advanced Supply Chain Institute at Unipart House in Oxford where they will be introduced to the new LLP integrated platform inside Unipart’s dedicated supply chain technology and innovation space.
