Saudi chambers unveil logistics observatory to enhance supply chain efficiency
Saudi Arabia:
The Federation of Saudi Chambers has announced the
launch of the “Logistics Challenges Observatory,” aimed at
monitoring operational and economic challenges across sectors, as well as
enhancing supply chain efficiency and stability in the Kingdom.
The observatory aims to measure the level of
efficiency and stability in supply chains, support an accurate representation of
the private sector’s voice, and translate data into actionable insights to
support economic policymaking and improve performance efficiency.
It also provides an advanced digital platform that
enables the design of specialized surveys and the systematic, reliable
collection and analysis of private sector insights. This contributes to the
production of accurate indicators that support decision-making.
The new observatory also covers the analysis of
operational challenges in vital sectors, particularly food and pharmaceuticals,
including shipment delays, rising costs, and reliance on specific suppliers, in
addition to anticipating future risks related to imports and logistics routes.
It also monitors challenges regularly and converts
them into analytical reports that support the development of practical
solutions, enhance sector efficiency, and improve preparedness and
responsiveness to economic changes.
The Federation of Saudi Chambers has invited all
investors and establishments to participate in the observatory and submit their
challenges and proposals.
The Federation emphasized that this
initiative represents a significant step toward building an integrated data
system that supports decision-makers with accurate and reliable information and
contributes to strengthening the sustainability of supply chains, as well as
supporting food and pharmaceutical security in the Kingdom.
