Monthly Members Meeting in January 2024: DFA Keynotes
We are pleased to present the highlights of our January meeting with the Digital Freight Alliance. This monthly gathering is an excellent opportunity to engage with fellow DFA members. The subjects addressed in our previous meeting will form the foundation of this piece. It has emerged as an excellent resource on the subject.
Vision & Strategy
The Digital Freight Alliance was founded in early 2020 as a union of logistics providers that use the technologies of SeaRates.com. With over 190 countries having its members, DFA aims to be the largest in the field of independent freight forwarders. Though there is tough competition, DFA remains the better choice due to its innovative ideas and technology. It is always looking for new avenues to be offered to the members.
To understand the philosophy behind how a wider vision grew from this beginning, one needs to know that DFA was born in DP World. And DP World was born from the cultural background of Dubai as an entrepôt. As barriers have progressively risen to world trade in the last ten years, DP World sees the digital revolution as an alternative engine to create growth.
To deliver this growth, however, we must provide the opportunity for SME forwarders to digitize and compete with large-scale players who are digitizing at scale. We believe SME forwarders who can “go global” are the key to prosperity.
