“This book is a must read for supply chain professionals, new comers and disruptors in the industry. It highlights a substantial amount of problems and questions within supply chain as we move into a more digitalized world. There are two ground fundamentals in moving physical goods; money and logistics. This book covers the latter one and for me it is immensely inspiring that the founders that I meet regularly in the ecosystem have shared their thoughts on the current state and what we can expect of the future of logistics.” (Jeppe Høier, Partner, Maersk Growth, Copenhagen, Denmark)
