Supply Chaney on Tour!

How do you move freight across a continent where a 2,500 km journey can take more than 60 days? In this episode of the Africa Supply Chain Safari, I sit down with Mark Rylance, COO (Head of Logistics) for DP World Sub-Saharan Africa, to explore what it really takes to build and operate supply chains across one of the world's fastest-growing and most complex regions. Mark shares lessons from more than 35 years in logistics, explains why managing supply chains in South Africa is fundamentally different from operating across the rest of the continent, and discusses DP World's vision for connecting Africa through ports, trucking, warehousing, freight forwarding, and integrated logistics solutions. Along the way, we discuss: 🚛 Why a truck in South Africa can make 2–2.5 deliveries per day, while one operating in Lagos may be lucky to complete just one 🌍 Why a 2,500 km freight journey can take 52–63 days on some African trade corridors 📦 DP World's integrated approach to ports, trucking, warehousing, freight forwarding, healthcare logistics, and market access 📈 The company's multi-billion-dollar investment strategy across Africa 🤝 Why people, leadership, and operational excellence matter more than assets alone 🌍 How improving supply chain efficiency can accelerate economic growth across the continent Whether you're interested in global logistics, African trade, supply chain strategy, or infrastructure development, this conversation offers an inside look at both the challenges and the enormous opportunities shaping the future of African commerce.

What if one autonomous robot could eliminate one of the biggest bottlenecks in the supply chain? At Automate 2026, I sat down with Chris Smith, Founder & CEO of Slip Robotics, to discuss how he identified the opportunity to bridge warehouse automation with transportation using autonomous mobile robots. We explore Chris's entrepreneurial journey, the problem Slip Robotics set out to solve, and how their technology is transforming truck loading and unloading—reducing a process that traditionally takes 30–60 minutes down to as little as 5 minutes. Topics include: Chris Smith's background and the founding of Slip Robotics The gap between warehouse automation and over-the-road transportation How autonomous loading robots improve safety, productivity, and throughput Real-world customer use cases and ROI The future of warehouse and logistics automation If you're interested in warehouse automation, robotics, material handling, or the future of logistics, this conversation is packed with practical insights. Thanks for watching!
