Today Osi Tagger, CEO at Unilog, joins me to chat all about the company: what they do; the importance of creating achievable solutions; embracing a culture of diversity; and how a focus on logistic capabilities can achieve a competitive advantage.

IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

[08.01] An overview of Unilog – what they do, their 5PL structure and how they help their customers – and why they can’t be put into a box.

“We are a multi enterprise supply chain business network.”

[12.07] A closer look at Unilog’s Supply Chain as a Service offering and how it can facilitate global fulfilment for customers, to help them scale quickly and easily and meet their SLA's.

“If you ask our clients, ‘where is your warehouse?’ they have no idea – they don’t care, because that’s not what they’re buying. In order to grow their business, they want to deliver their promise to their market and we support them – this is global fulfilment for us. This is why they buy supply chain as a service.”

[15.52] Unilog’s service parts supply chain, the evolving challenges around inventory and distribution, and why it’s so important to put a focus on helping businesses to fulfil their promises to their end consumers.

[19.16] The five cornerstones on which Unilog was founded, and how they translate to digitization, visibility and real-time supply chain control tower capabilities.

“Visibility for the sake of visibility is just another pile of data. What are you going to do with that? That’s what we solve in many ways.”

[26.18] The importance of flexible and customizable solutions when it comes to creating agile supply chains, and why Excel continues to stick around.

[29.56] Why Unilog focus on creating feasible and achievable supply chain solutions for businesses.

[32.42] Why companies who place an emphasis on logistics capabilities can achieve a competitive advantage.

“We ask our clients, ‘what’s the plan – new products, new markets, new services?’ Once we understand what our customers want, we design what they need.”

[34.32] Osi’s ethos and passion for women’s empowerment and creating a diverse team; how it helps Unilog to thrive and drive strategic partnerships; and why more companies should be embracing this way of working.

“What is dynamic integration? It’s not just IT. It’s people!”

[38.37] The ideal client for Unilog.

[40.26] A case study, showing how Unilog’s Supply Chain as a Service solution helped one key customer to grow over 170% and scale globally at speed.
