Monthly Members Meeting in April 2025: DFA Highlights
We're excited to bring you the highlights from our April Digital Freight Alliance meeting, a key regular meeting with DFA members. Now, let us praise the topics discussed during the last meeting as a great learning experience and a good chance.
Vision & Strategy
The Digital Freight Alliance was started in early 2020 as a group of delivery companies using SeaRates tools. DFA aims to be the most important group for independent freight forwarders and includes over 190 countries. DFA is the first choice, even with a lot of competition, because it uses new ideas and technology. It always tries to create new chances for its members.
To grasp how a bigger vision developed from this starting point, it's important to know that DFA started in DP World. DP World was created because of Dubai's culture as a place for trade. As trade restrictions have increased worldwide in the last ten years, DP World believes that the digital revolution can help drive growth.
To achieve this growth, we need to help small- and medium-sized shipping companies use digital tools so they can compete with larger companies that are already using them effectively.
DF Alliance & Continental Logistics Network
Continental Logistics Network Ltd. (CLN), a Kenya-based freight forwarding company, was established in 2005. CLN offers complete logistics services, including the movement of cargo via sea, air, or land. The other arms of the company include customs clearance, warehousing, and supply chain management, catering to a wide range of industries.
Sharing her insights into the logistics sector, her vision for CLN in the years to come, and her strategy for optimizing the operations was Ms. Pauline Gakii, Chief Operations Officer of the company, during a Member Meeting in April. Ms. Pauline Gakii has over 10 years of experience in supply chain and logistics management and has been influential in steering CLN towards growth and operational excellence. Her speech provided an opportunity for the attendees to appreciate some strategies geared towards enhancing logistical efficiencies.
