    Stop planning for stability and start building for adaptability

    In this episode of Logistics Unlocked, we sit down with Patrick van Denzel, CRO at Alpega, to talk about what it really takes to lead a resilient supply chain today. With over two decades in the industry, he has seen every wave of logistics evolution, from manual planning on paper to Excel, and now to AI-driven operations. In this conversation, he breaks down some of the biggest challenges shippers face today like balancing financial risk with operational efficiency and understanding where data and AI still fall short. Together, we explore why the old assumption that transport is a procurement task no longer holds, how nearshoring is reshaping trade-offs, and why adaptability, and not stability should be the real goal for every supply chain organisation. This episode at a glance:  00:00 – 02:00 | Finding the balance: risk, cost, and operational efficiency  Patrick reflects on how the biggest persistent challenge for shippers today is not choosing between cost and service, it is finding the right balance between financial risk and operational effectiveness. 02:00 – 02:55 | Where data and AI still fall short  Data is abundant, but planning for disruption remains elusive. Patrick unpacks why AI cannot be treated as a silver bullet, and where the real gap between data and real-world decision-making still lies. 02:55 – 05:06 | Regulation, nearshoring, and the new complexity of logistics From eCMR adoption to nearshoring trade-offs, Patrick explores how external pressures are reshaping sourcing decisions and transport strategy, and why there is rarely a straightforward answer.

    Cost vs. Value: Making logistics a vital decision platform

    In this episode of Logistics Unlocked, we sit down with Julia Seidel, the CFO of Alpega, to talk about the value of informed decision-making in logistics.   With over a decade of experience in senior finance roles, she casts light on why logistics should not be simply treated as a cost center, but transformed into a platform that can support vital decision making to manage risk in a company.  Together we look at the risk of not having real-time visibility, the importance of being able to see the big picture, thinking beyond short-term gains towards long-term investments – and how platforms can achieve this, by improving decision-making.   This is a real-world glimpse from the front lines of logistics where a long-term view helps balance rapid reactions to new challenges.  This episode at a glance:  00:00 – 03:45 | Seeing the whole, not just the parts  Julia explains why the logistics industry often lacks real-time cost visibility and end‑to‑end insight, leading to inadequate locally driven decisions and budget overruns, with critical information unavailable to top financial leaders.     03:46 – 06:09 | Reduce complexity before you automate it  Companies often automate flawed processes, overinvest in isolated tools, and focus on short‑term ROI instead of fixing end‑to‑end structures and assigning clear ownership for long‑term, sustainable improvement.    06:10– 07:22 | Real success means measuring it properly  Julia unpacks how people often underestimate the cost of inaction, misaligned incentives, and focusing on milestones instead of ultimate outcomes; and how decisive action and end‑goal success drive real progress.    07:25 – 09:31 | Looking ahead, not just at right now  Predictive planning sets structure and long‑term direction, while reactive budgeting fixes past issues. Julia shares that both matters, but leaders need stability, boundaries, and forward‑looking views to guide decisions.

    Why logistics cannot miss the train of change

    In this episode of Logistics Unlocked, we sit down with Daniel Cohen, CEO of Alpega, to talk about the defining moment the industry is facing today.  Drawing on a career of leading digital transformation across publishing, online banking, and payments, Daniel shares a clear perspective on why change is unstoppable and transportation is no longer a back-office function, but a strategic pillar of the global economy.  Together, we explore why embracing digital tools, trust, and collaboration across the logistics ecosystem is the only way forward. Daniel closes with a clear message to the industry: don’t fear change, let’s navigate it together.  A practical and thoughtful conversation for anyone shaping the future of logistics in a world that won’t stand still.  This episode at a glance:  00:00 – 05:00 | The start of a new chapter  Two months into his role as CEO of Alpega, Daniel Cohen reflects on his career across industries, the common thread of digitalisation, and what drew him to logistics.  05:01 – 06:50 | The train of change doesn’t stop  Can change be delayed or avoided? Daniel explains why transformation is inevitable and how Alpega aims to help customers adapt rather than resist.  06:50 – 11:27 | Logistics as the cardiovascular system of the economy  Why transportation is now a strategic priority. From geopolitics to regulation, Daniel explores growing complexity—and why focusing on the shipper–carrier ecosystem is key.  11:27 – 12:18 | Looking ahead: don’t fear change  To the podcast’s signature question, Daniel shares his advice for logistics professionals navigating uncertainty and transformation.
