Monthly Members Meeting in August 2024: DFA Keynotes

We're happy to share the main points from our August Digital Freight Alliance meeting. This regular meeting is a great chance to connect with DFA members. Let's start by discussing what we discussed in the last meeting, which was a wonderful experience and a good learning opportunity.

 

Vision & Strategy

The Digital Freight Alliance was started in early 2020 as a group of delivery companies that use tools from SeaRates. com 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 the idea of how a bigger vision developed from this starting point, it's important to know that DFA started in DP World. DP World started because of Dubai's culture as a place for trade. As trade restrictions have increased around the world 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 to medium-sized shipping companies use digital tools so they can compete with larger companies that are already using them effectively. We think small and medium-sized forwarders who can expand internationally are essential for success.
