𝗕𝗖𝗢 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹 The digital transformation of the supply chain is also an absolute priority for beneficial cargo owners (BCOs). However, the motivation of the players varies greatly. This is shown by a digital survey of around 110 participants at this year’s BCO Conference, conducted by the organizer shiftX GmbH. For almost half of the participants, “Providing better data as a basis for better decision-making” is the most important goal when digitizing their supply chain. “Accurate planning, combined with a better forecast”, is a priority for 23 percent in the context of digitization, closely followed by “Access to real-time data” (22 percent). Far fewer participants voted for “Cost transparency” (5 percent). For all players, there is no doubt about the need to digitize processes and workflows. This was impressively underlined by the BCO Conference. However, when it comes to the question of “how”, opinions are often still divided, which is also due to the complexity of the task. We therefore wanted to know what challenges BCOs face in the transformation process. The result is clear: for 46 percent, volatility in pricing is the top priority, followed by increasing lead and transit times (31 percent). Far behind are “Access to capacity to avoid lost sales” and “De-risking by expanding sourcing markets.” At the next BCO Conference 2025, we will once again conduct a survey among the participants and reach out to you in advance to gather your current questions and topics of interest as a BCO.
