Lacking transparency remains a major barrier to efficient, sustainable, and resilient supply chains. Despite physical transport processes being largely the same across companies, the digital transformation of them often relies on fragmented systems and proprietary terminology.

In this Spotlight Session, representatives from the Open Logistics Foundation’s Working Group Track & Trace will showcase how industry-wide collaboration for open standards along the logistics chain can address these challenges.

The session begins with a practical implementation story from ZeKju, one of the first companies to deploy the Tracking Event Model in a real-world pilot together with Rhenus Logistics. The presentation will share:

• Lessons learned from implementation
• The effort involved and challenges encountered
• The benefits of using a common language for transport status events

Building on these experiences, the session then turns to the group’s newest initiative: Timeslot Management. We will explain how an open, interoperable approach can enable smarter coordination between all participants. Attendees will gain insights into the project’s progress, including the development of a common data model and standardised APIs and the process of defining time slot requests from different stakeholder perspectives.

Join us there to learn how open standards and open source reduce integration complexity and create scalable solutions for the industry!
