Yann Belgy Managing Director ID Logistics

What are your expectations for this year’s performance for your company and the logistics sector in general in Poland? How will this be influenced by expectation for the general economic environment?

We remain very positive about potential of Contract Logistics in Poland in general, and of ID Logistics in particular. On top of a steady development of the domestic market driven by internal consumption and dynamism of the local economy, Poland became a key logistics base for European distribution, especially for e-commerce and fashion industries.

There were therefore many new fulfilment centres created in Poland within recent years, thanks to the relatively lower costs in labour and real estates, but also thanks to its geographical position, modern infrastructure, educated population and superior flexibility. We expect this trend to go on during coming years and we developed a real know-how to efficiently answer such needs from our customers.

The rising costs of energy and oper ation of warehouses and industrial buildings pose an increasing challenge for many companies, especially those in the logistics and production industries. What solutions to reduce these costs are you already using, and what solu tions are you considering implementing in the future?

ID Logistics developed a specific expertise in energy management with a centralised team supported by local specialists who define good practices, relevant technologies, overall and local action plan, and follow their deployment. Such actions allowed us not only to lower our own consumption by approximately 40%, but also to help customers in reducing their own consumption and costs.

As per costs of operations, we more and more implement robots on a pragmatic way in processes where it makes sense and allows us to keep necessary flexibility. We also deeply believe in innovation as a way to compensate those rising costs and to differentiate, and we run regular programmes to develop innovative solutions together with our employees, customers and partners.
