Asset owners force choices
• Supply chain from beginning to end relies on asset owners.
• When the asset owners cannot manage their businesses, the logisticians become the experts.

Using data to save money and the environment.
• The Kyoto Protocol in 2020 will demand that companies reduce their carbon consumption.
• Pressure from customers on brands will require that steps be taken as well.
• Pure single-mode asset owners are not the answer; multimodal solutions (such as sea-air) will be.
• Multimodal solutions, analyzed, presented and delivered, will further add value to future-looking logisticians.
