If 2021 was the year of supply chain disruption, 2022 will be dominated by a shift to a more resilient and agile framework – as these innovative companies are determined to prove.
Global supply chains have been hit hard in 2021, with rising demand and widespread labor shortages creating the perfect storm. But despite stories of delays and disruptions, there’s also been plenty to be positive about. Let’s take a look at 5 innovative companies that are set to transform global supply chains in 2022 and beyond.
Klareo
At the onset of the pandemic, E.Leclerc Chez Moi — the home delivery wing of France’s largest grocery store — ran into significant supply chain issues.
“During the pandemic, demand from our clients — and also people who were still not used to shopping online — increased. It is coming back now to normal levels of consumption, but we still need to manage constantly fluctuating demand driven by the social restrictions imposed during the pandemic, » Sébastien Macherey, managing director of E.Leclerc Chez Moi, told HERE360.
They decided to contact Klareo, a French startup that develops specialized cloud solutions for deliveries. Klareo used HERE data to feed its route optimization tool, K.Planning, using real-time traffic information to continually calculate the best route and provide customers with live ETAs.
According to Elie Gharios, co-founder of Klareo, “We rely on data from HERE to make sure we have the right addresses, calculating the ETA and transportation time, based on real-time traffic, and taking into account the different transportation means that we might be using ».
And it certainly seems to be working. E.Leclerc Chez Moi has made over 400,000 deliveries since January 2021 using Klareo’s software. Now that they have a rock-solid route optimization process in place, don’t be surprised to see E.Leclerc Chez Moi smash past this figure in 2022.
