ALICE Global Supply Network Coordination and Collaboration Thematic Group (TG4)

Language English ‎(en)‎
Skill Level Beginner

Group overview

Global Supply Network Coordination and Collaboration Working Group deals with coordination and collaboration among stakeholders in global supply networks. Coordination and collaboration refer respectively to vertical and horizontal synergies along and across different supply-chains. In this context, Supply Network Coordination deals with the synchronization and dynamic update of logistics and transport plans, across modes and actors (manufacturers, retailers, logistics services providers, carriers, terminal operators, etc.). Supply Network Collaboration deals with maximising resources utilization, such as vehicle and infrastructure capacity, by matching demand from multiple shippers with available transport and logistics services from different modes and service providers. Both Coordination and Collaboration can produce significant gains in terms of both efficiency and sustainability and represent a big step towards the Physical Internet, leading the transition from individually managed supply chains to open supply networks

If your company is a member and you would like to join this group, please contact ALICE secretariat at info@etp-alice.eu so we grant you access.

Have a look to ALICE membership and how to join if you are not sure or if you would like to know more on membership.

ALICE Intralogistics Community The ALICE Intralogistics Community is a member-driven ALICE Community, officially launched in January 2026, focused on the systemic role of intralogistics in Europe’s logistics and supply chains.  The Community was created to move beyond treating intralogistics as a standalone topic and instead address it as an integral part of end-to-end logistics, closely connected with transport operations, supply chains, energy systems and digital infrastructure.  Co-led with engaged ALICE members, notably LIMOWA, and supported by the ALICE Secretariat, the Community functions as a collaborative space, where members jointly explore challenges, share practices and develop concrete actions, solutions and business cases.  Visit the public information page for more information and how to join: https://www.etp-logistics.eu/roadmaps-3-2/alice-intralogistics-community/

ALICE Logistics Automation Automation in logistics is progressing rapidly across ports, terminals, corridors, warehouses and multimodal hubs. Europe is moving from isolated pilots towards the deployment of interoperable, safe and scalable autonomous systems across the logistics network. To support this transition, ALICE has launched Logistics Automation as a collaborative platform connecting industry, technology providers, research centres and public authorities. The objective is to enable knowledge exchange, identify common challenges, and accelerate coordinated and interoperable automation across modes and nodes. A structured Use Case Collection is being prepared and will be released shortly on the Knowledge Platform. Purpose of the group Provide a shared space to monitor automation initiatives beyond research projects. Connect work carried out across ALICE Thematic Groups (TG2, TG3, Urban Logistics). Link demonstrations and applied research with emerging EU policy frameworks (TEN-T, port strategy, CCAM, data interoperability). Create a consolidated overview of automation developments within the European logistics ecosystem. Prepare the ground for a potential ALICE position paper on logistics automation in 2026/2027. How to contribute Members can support this group by sharing information, ongoing pilots or operational experiences. Share updates, questions or materials in the discussion forum. Participate in upcoming webinars, workshops and deep-dive sessions. Use Case Collection Hub – link coming soon →
