The first edition of the Cargo Freight Portugal Summit 2025, organized by Supply Chain Magazine, was truly a milestone for the transport and logistics sector in Portugal. On March 12th and 13th, the Meliá Ria Hotel & Spa in Aveiro became a reference meeting point for professionals, experts, and decision-makers, providing a high-quality space for debate on the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of global transport chains.

Logistics is constantly evolving. But unlike other technological revolutions, the change we are facing now is not optional – it is an urgent necessity. For decades, global supply chains have operated on fossil fuels, ensuring efficiency and speed but also contributing to high emissions and energy dependencies that we now know are unsustainable.

Once upon a time, there was a small warehouse that had been operating without major challenges for years. The team knew every aisle, every pallet, and every product. The workflow, though manual and somewhat improvised, was enough to keep operations under control. But then growth happened. Order volumes doubled, product diversity increased, and suddenly, that once-efficient space turned into a maze of delays, errors, and stress.

The Intralogistics Conference 2025 was a true stage for innovation and knowledge exchange, where theory seamlessly met practice. The event’s agenda covered key topics for the present and future of internal logistics, from the application of artificial intelligence and advanced analytics to maximize operational efficiency, to the importance of the human factor in intralogistics operations.

The story I am about to tell begins in a warehouse. Not just any warehouse, but one belonging to a company that, for over 60 years, has supplied offices, schools, and stationery shops across the country. A space that, over decades, has seen tons of notebooks, pens, and other materials pass through—materials that, almost invisibly, keep the world running.

As the global logistics sector gears up for a 2025 filled with challenges and transformations, Portugal faces unique realities shaped by its strategic geographic position and the nature of its business landscape. In a context where global trends exert a direct influence on the national market, the main challenge will be to balance supply chain modernization with the management of economic and operational constraints that continue to impact the industry.

At KronoLog Solutions, we believe that excellence starts with people. Our commitment to Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) is not just a responsibility or an operational goal - it lies at the heart of everything we do. We believe that creating safe, healthy, and motivating environments not only protects people but also unlocks their full potential to achieve outstanding results.

At KronoLog Solutions, we believe logistics has the power to transform not only businesses but also the world we live in. That’s why our motto, “Efficient Logistics, Sustainable Future,” is much more than a phrase – it’s our daily commitment. It guides every decision, every project, and every partnership, reflecting our mission to align operational efficiency with positive environmental, social, and future impacts.

When we think of revolutions in fashion, Shein and Zara are names that immediately come to mind. Each in its own way has redefined what speed, innovation, and efficiency mean in the industry. But more than a rivalry between giants, these two brands reflect a world in constant transformation—a world where adaptation is the only constant.

At KronoLog Solutions, we believe that work is more than completing tasks; it is an opportunity to create impact, deliver value, and build lasting partnerships. Our work policy reflects our commitment to excellence, innovation, and adherence to ethical principles that guide our actions, both internally and with our clients and partners.

We are thrilled to announce that KronoLog Solutions will be one of the official sponsors of the Intralogistics Conference 2025, organized by Supply Chain Magazine. The event will take place on January 28, 2025, at the Hotel Meliá Braga and promises to bring together industry experts and professionals to explore the theme "From Theory to Practice: Implementing and Innovating in Intralogistics."

KronoLog Solutions, a recently founded logistics consultancy company, presented its first case study, which involved restructuring the warehouse and the entire logistics operation of an SME that has been importing and distributing office supplies for over 60 years.

Once upon a time, there was a small online shop that sold handcrafted home decor products.

Today, sustainability has become a critical concern across all sectors, and logistics is no exception.

In today's interconnected global economy, supply chain resilience has emerged as a critical priority for companies across all sectors.

Behind the scenes of a container yard, where the sound of cranes and the movement of forklifts create a rhythm of their own, each operation is like a piece of a complex logistical puzzle.

In today's logistics landscape, there is a paradox that perplexes us all as leaders in the sector: the coexistence of a shortage of talent with a fear of embracing technology.

The rapid expansion of e-commerce has profoundly influenced the world of retail, requiring an equivalent evolution in logistics and delivery systems.

Freight forwarders have been the backbone of global trade, facilitating the movement of goods across borders and between continents.

Operational logistics consulting is becoming an indispensable tool for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to design or optimize their processes and increase their competitiveness in the market where they operate.
