Themed Transforming Logistics Through Technology, the SHD Logistics Conference will provide delegates with key insight from companies who are leading the way in this digital transformation within the logistics space, and how these learnings can be applied by logistics operators.
NHS Supply Chain manages the sourcing, delivery and supply of healthcare products, services and food for NHS trusts and healthcare organisations across England and Wales. It provides a single point of access to over 454,000 nationally available, transactable lines.
Managing more than 4.5 million orders per year, across 94,000 order points and 15,000 locations, NHS Supply Chain systems consolidate orders from over 800 suppliers, saving trusts time and money and removing duplication of overlapping contracts.
A new operating model for NHS Supply Chain has been established and is aligned to Lord Carter’s vision, which identified unwarranted variation in procurement across the NHS.

BearingPoint
The UK makes up the third-largest e-commerce market in the world. During a period of rapid growth in consumer demand and the challenge of digitalisation, logistics operations are under more pressure than ever before.
A recent study compiled by BearingPoint ('Digital Leaders Study') assessed the digital maturity of 72 companies across ten different industries, including the logistics industry. The findings show that the logistics industry is falling behind other industries in developing and implementing digital strategies.
Why is it that logistics operators have fallen behind, and what can be done to establish a digital culture within an organisation?
A group of expert speakers will weigh in on this live panel debate during which time the floor will also be opened to questions from the audience. To be moderated by BearingPoint's Natasha Tyrrell.
