Logistics Industry Pressures & Trends

Frank Fischer

Pure Logistics 

The logistics industry faces a myriad of pressures today: Port and other bottlenecks, inconsistent capacity, increasingly frequent natural disasters, cost reductions and carbon footprint reductions among others. There are a number of recent trends developing for how companies face and combat these pressures: Organizational realignment, collaboration between partners-customers-suppliers, investments in equipment and technology, outsourcing and consolidation.

Frank Fischer owns and manages Pure Logistics, a logistics management company specializing in project logistics supporting the hospitality, retail and healthcare industries. The company provides transportation, warehousing, and installation management for new and renovation projects for hotels, retail stores, senior living facilities, restaurants, clinics and hospitals.

During the past 15 years, Frank has been actively involved in the Center for Supply Chain Management at Saint Louis University. He has served on the organization’s Steering Committee and Board of Directors and became Chairman in July 2016. Frank is also a 20-year member of the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. Frank holds a BS degree in Business Administration and MBA from the University of Phoenix.
