Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! 🌕 🧧

Today, people around the world celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival – one of the most important traditional holidays in Chinese culture. A time for coming together, sharing food, especially mooncakes, and enjoying the full moon.

What comes after the platform? The agent!?

Digital platforms have transformed the freight forwarding business. But according to Olaf Rathgeb, CTO of Fr. Meyer’s Sohn, the next chapter of digitalisation could look very different.

In this article, Olaf takes a closer look at what comes next: from AI and process automation to agentic networks, and why clean data and solid processes remain the foundation for digital transformation.

He also shares insights into how FMS is already using technology in its day-to-day operations, from our SCM platform Cruise Control to our AI colleague Hugo, and most important why people will continue to play a crucial role in an increasingly digital logistics world.

An insightful look for anyone interested in the digital transformation of our industry and in where the journey might be heading next.

Last week our Annual Manager Meeting brought together more than 100 Branch, Department and Finance Managers from across the FMS world – four days of intensive exchange, discussions and, of course, plenty of conversations in between.
One dedicated Manager Meeting, one dedicated Finance Manager Meeting, and more than 20 focused sessions on topics ranging from AI and insurance to trucking in North America and airfreight – plus countless discussions and ideas exchanged along the way.

But the real value of a meeting like this goes beyond the agenda. It’s about learning from each other, sharing experience and finding solutions together. About discovering what works well in different parts of FMS and asking ourselves: How can we become even better? How can we learn from best-in-class approaches across our company?
FMS is always about the people: celebrating long-standing colleagues, welcoming new ones and strengthening the connections that make us one company.
At FMS, we are a lean, hands-on company. We solve problems. We stay close to our customers. And we believe that the best solutions often come from working together, exchanging ideas and simply getting things done.

Four days, countless conversations and a lot of shared knowledge – all with one goal: moving FMS forward, together.

In international logistics, we connect people, markets and cultures every day. Local business habits, communication styles and infrastructure can strongly influence how smoothly supply chains run and partnerships grow.

Today we are showcasing Slovenia.
Slovenia is a highly developed Central European country with a strong export-oriented economy and a strategic location at the crossroads of Western Europe and the Balkans. As a member of the European Union, the Eurozone and the Schengen Area, Slovenia offers a stable and business-friendly environment with efficient access to regional markets. Its economy is driven by manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, automotive components, logistics and green technologies. The Port of Koper serves as an important gateway for international trade between Central Europe and global markets, connecting the region with key routes to Asia and beyond.
In business, professionalism, reliability and personal relationships are highly valued. Slovenian business culture tends to be structured and pragmatic, while communication is generally polite, direct and respectful. Outside the office, Slovenia impresses with its diverse landscapes - from the Julian Alps and Lake Bled to the Adriatic coast, charming historic towns and green countryside.

Want to learn more about Slovenia’s business culture, everyday etiquette, logistics environment and places worth visiting?

FMS Germany | Welcome our new apprentices 🚀

Last week, our national trainee onboarding event took place in Hamburg. All new trainees from our branches in Hamburg, Bremen, Lübeck, Nuremberg, and Munich participated in the onboarding event. They met our executive management team, got to know the Port of Hamburg and its terminals better, connected with their trainers, and participated in a joint workshop and team-building event. They also learned more about business etiquette with Clemens Graf von Hoyos and explored various other topics related to getting off to the best possible start in their apprenticeships. Of course, this also gave them the opportunity to get to know one another and network, so they can start their apprenticeship with us on the best possible foundation. We had an exciting week filled with great conversations, experiences, and delicious food.

We're excited to have so many great new trainees on board and wish all of them a great start!

End of August, our Greater China sales team came together in Beijing for their regional sales meeting.

For us, successful sales is about understanding our customers: their needs, their challenges and what matters to them. By bringing together our experience and industry knowledge, we aim to find the right solutions and sometimes even explore new ways to help our customers move forward.
During the meeting, our BDMs shared their experiences and perspectives, discussed current market challenges and exchanged ideas on how we can continue to support our customers in the best possible way.

The team also visited the Forbidden City in Beijing, gaining fascinating insights into China’s history while enjoying some time together outside the meeting room.
