Retail Disrupted

London Tech Week: Supply Chain Resilience with Tesco, Unilever, DHL


Listen Later

Recorded live on stage at London Tech Week, Natalie speaks to Kuru Subramaniam, Head of Product at Tesco, Francis Castro, Vice President, Global Customer Operations at Unilever, and Saul Resnick, CEO UK & Ireland at DHL Supply Chain.

They discuss:

  • From ‘just-in-time’ to ‘just-in-case’: how supply chains are adapting to disruption.
  • How digital twins and predictive analytics can help businesses simulate scenarios and maintain operational stability.
  • The importance of collaboration and why, as Tesco’s Subramaniam points out, you're only as resilient as your most vulnerable partner.
  • The increasing significance of transparency in sustainability efforts and disruption preparedness.
  • AI and robotics: why DHL’s Resnick is excited about agentic AI and advancing robotics in warehouses.
  • Why Unilever’s Castro believes you need a “try culture” and to be accepting of failure.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Transporeon, a leading global logistics platform that connects shippers, carriers, and retailers to enhance transportation management. Transporeon offers a comprehensive suite of digital solutions that improve visibility, efficiency, and collaboration in the supply chain.
