In this episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Nick Bartlett, Director of CBIP Logistics. Nick shared his wealth of knowledge and expertise about the logistics industry in Southeast Asia, and specifically, the role of digitization and sustainability in shaping the future of the industry.

One key insight that Nick emphasized throughout the episode was the importance of digitization in streamlining logistics operations. He noted that CBIP has been at the forefront of incorporating digital solutions into their operations, which has helped them to stay ahead of the curve in the highly competitive industry. By utilizing digital tools, CBIP is able to offer their clients a more efficient and cost-effective solution, while also reducing waste and improving sustainability.

Another key aspect of the episode was the discussion of CBIP’s work with Deliveroo, a food delivery company with a complex supply chain that includes everything from restaurant equipment to ghost kitchens. Nick highlighted how CBIP has supported Deliveroo over the past five years, starting with just a few delivery points in Hong Kong and growing to a full regional logistics program that includes forecasting, replenishment, warehousing, and delivery across four markets in Asia.

This case study is a prime example of the value that CBIP can bring to businesses looking to streamline their logistics operations. With their expertise in digital solutions and sustainability, they are able to offer a centralized 4PL model that is both cost-efficient and easy to manage.

One of the most striking quotes from Nick during the episode was when he said, “we’re in this industry to provide something different, a different type of operating model and solution for our customers.” This statement truly encapsulates the innovative spirit of CBIP and their commitment to delivering the best possible service to their clients.
