Streamline your processes

incorporating Softworld Supply Chain

For fourteen years Softworld Supply Chain has been the UK's leading showcase and educational platform for targeted software solutions. It has provided prospective buyers with the opportunity to learn, network and procure in a dedicated environment.

However, after speaking to our visitors and association partners it has become evident that automating an entire logistical process requires much more than Software Solutions and stretches beyond the boundaries of an organisation's Supply Chain. It's the flawless interaction between software and hardware and the human element that can really streamline logistics.

Two years ago in The Netherlands VNU Exhibitions launched IT & Logistics, with the aim of building the definitive platform for logistics automation products and services. With the help and dedication of partners such as AIM, The Dutch Society for Logistics Managers (VLM), Dutch Packaging Centre (NVC), our exhibitors and media partners the event in its second year delivered 3,000 senior level decision makers and a 100 exhibitors.

28 and 29 March 2007 will see the first edition of IT & Logistics UK, incorporating Softworld Supply Chain. With a strong existing network, brand and expertise gained through our Softworld event as a firm basis we are confident that IT & Logistics UK over the next few years will grow to be the UK's most comprehensive forum of its kind.
