To celebrate the addition of #Frankfurt to Kuehne+Nagel's own-controlled #AirLogistics network, colleagues gathered on the airport tarmac to welcome the inaugural arrival of Inspire, our Boeing 747-8 freighter. Touching down from Chicago, Inspire was greeted with a traditional water salute and welcome ceremony before loading cargo and continuing its journey to Atlanta. The expanded network now connects Atlanta, Chicago, Frankfurt, Liège, Sharjah and Taipei, providing customers with enhanced connectivity across key trade lanes and supporting industries such as healthcare, aerospace, semiconductor, high-tech and #CloudInfrastructure. It was a proud moment for our Frankfurt team and another important step in strengthening global connectivity across our air freight network

For many patients, collecting medication can be the most tiring part of a clinic or hospital visit, especially when they are already feeling unwell. For older patients, repeated trips and waiting can be even harder. Working closely with #healthcare partners, Kuehne+Nagel’s #ContractLogistics team in #Singapore has established dedicated medication preparation and labelling operations outside hospitals and healthcare facilities. Conducted within controlled environments, the solution helps ease operational pressure on pharmacy teams while maintaining the quality standards required for healthcare operations.

Since its launch in 2018, #myKN, Kuehne+Nagel’s #digital shipment management portal, has evolved alongside the changing needs of customers. Today, users can request quotes, book, and track shipments, explore routing options, build customised analytics dashboards and more. But one question remained: were customers getting the full value from the platform? Usage research suggested that many were not. To learn more, the team invited around 300 users worldwide to test an interactive prototype and share feedback on the experience they see when logging into myKN. The result is now live: a cleaner, more intuitive landing page that can be tailored to individual needs and priorities. Relevant information and key actions are easier to access, helping customers quickly get to the areas that matter most to them. Frederik Peters, Product Owner Online Solutions at Kuehne+Nagel, says: “The challenge in digital #CustomerExperience is not always about adding new functionality. Sometimes, it is helping customers discover and use the value that is already there.”

Kuehne+Nagel is advancing its digital capabilities in #ContractLogistics through the evolution of its warehouse management system, KN SwiftLOG, into a #CloudNative, AI-enabled platform. Now rolling out across more than 1,000 sites in nearly 100 countries, this transformation, powered by Blue Yonder technology, connects operations, data, and workflows in a unified environment for greater scalability, resilience, and efficiency. By integrating intelligent #automation and real-time insights, the new platform supports more accurate planning, improved visibility, and faster responses to supply chain disruptions, while ensuring consistent, reliable service for customers worldwide.

More than 110 customers joined Kuehne+Nagel’s recent “Touch the Tech” workshops in #Vietnam to explore how technology can support supply chain operations. Through five interactive stations, participants experienced Kuehne+Nagel’s #SupplyChain intelligence & visibility tools, #DigitalSolutions and AI capabilities firsthand. The format gave them the opportunity to explore practical applications, exchange perspectives, and discuss common supply chain challenges with peers and experts. One theme emerged consistently across the discussions: customers are looking for more than shipment tracking. Increasingly, they want tools that help them anticipate disruptions, make faster decisions and spend less time on routine tasks. 👇 Here are some of the key themes that customers highlighted during the workshops.

#AI is advancing at an extraordinary pace. But as its capabilities continue to grow, so do the questions around its broader impact. #Sustainability is one example. While AI has the potential to improve efficiency and support innovation, the technology itself also requires significant amounts of energy to power and scale. In “Artificial Opportunity or Threat?”, the final episode of #WhereNext Season 2, experts from around the world explore the opportunities and trade-offs associated with AI, and what they could mean for the future.

Some projects don't start with a signed contract. They start with trust, patience, and years of relationship-building. For more than three years, teams across Sales, Operations, Customer Service, and Digital Solutions worked together long before a contract was ever won. There were no immediate results. No quick wins. Just one shared goal: understanding the customer's business and proving that we could be a trusted partner. Because real sales success isn't built by talking about products or networks. It's built by listening, solving problems, and showing up when it matters most. As Halina Key Account Manager, puts it: "Sales is not just about closing deals. It's about earning trust, building relationships, and working closely together - internally and with the client - every single day." At Kuehne+Nagel, this isn't just a success story. It's how lasting partnerships are built. 👉 Discover the full story: https://bit.ly/4y9ilPp #WeAreKN #MoreThanLogistics #SalesCareers

Freight #logistics accounts for nearly half of all transport-related greenhouse gas emissions, contributing around 8% to global emissions. While the challenge is significant, there are clear ways to reduce the footprint, including better visibility across supply chains, wider use of lower-emission options, and solutions that can scale without disrupting operations. At the Sustainability and Low-Carbon Technology Forum in Shanghai, held alongside the #China Carbon Neutrality Expo, Kuehne+Nagel joined industry leaders to discuss how transport and logistics can advance these efforts. During the discussions, Alan Ni, President of Kuehne+Nagel Greater China, highlighted a growing focus on measures that support decarbonisation in practical ways. Digital tools are improving transparency across supply chains, while Kuehne+Nagel’s Book and Claim solution supports emissions reductions without requiring immediate physical changes to operations. He also emphasised that scaling #decarbonisation depends on broader adoption across the industry, with coordinated action between shippers, carriers, and logistics partners, supported by shared standards and transparent reporting. At Kuehne+Nagel, sustainable logistics remains both a responsibility and a driver of innovation, resilience, and long-term growth.

From Cebu, Kuehne+Nagel's engineering teams help keep global logistics running by building and operating the systems that connect people, data and operations across time zones. At this scale, technology has to be dependable. It needs to handle growing demand, protect critical data and keep performing as the business evolves. Most of this work happens behind the scenes. But its impact is felt every day to keep global supply chains moving. If you want to read more read the full blog post HERE: https://bit.ly/4uY49Gh

When a textbook arrives on a student’s desk, a complex logistics operation has already taken place behind the scenes. Together with Gruppo Mondadori, we have inaugurated a new 40,000 sqm fulfilment centre in San Giorgio Bigarello, creating #Italy’s largest logistics hub dedicated to educational and retail publishing. By bringing operations together in one centralised facility, the hub helps ensure that learning materials reach schools, teachers, and students across the country. It also supports Mondadori Group’s educational and retail publishing activities across bookstores, e-commerce, and direct-to-consumer channels. Educational publishing is characterised by highly seasonal demand, requiring precise planning, inventory management, and distribution to ensure learning materials are available when schools need them.
