In this episode of Tales of Logistics, hosts interview Postco.ai co‑founders Brett Parker and Peter Brook about widespread last‑mile delivery failures — from damaged or missing labels to missing digital data, capacity spikes and address errors — and how their vision‑based, label‑free AI platform helps couriers and SMEs reduce exceptions, speed processing and improve returns.

They discuss practical integration options, on‑premises deployment for privacy and resilience (including offline operation), cost savings, scalability, and how the technology can restore customer trust without disrupting existing operations.

Welcome to Tales of Logistics — this episode explores the hidden frictions of cross-border payments that impede global trade: volatile exchange rates, slow bank settlements, compliance holds, hidden FX spreads and small errors that can cost businesses millions.

We examine causes (currency risk, banking delays, compliance), impacts (lost margins, delayed shipments, extra fees) and solutions — fintech platforms, API-driven settlements, FX hedging tools, multi-currency accounts and contract clauses to manage volatility.

Practical takeaways include adding currency-risk clauses, using local collection and multi-currency accounts, combining banks with fintechs, and running monthly FX loss reports to regain control and reduce costs.

In this episode host interviews Colin Andrew, an expert in commercial vehicle customer relationships, about electric vehicles in Australia. They discuss how EVs change fleet operations, the differences between last‑mile and long‑haul use, purchase and running costs, and the importance of charging infrastructure and correct vehicle selection.

Colin offers practical advice for businesses and SMEs: do the homework, match vehicles to routes and payloads, work with suppliers and major partners, and consider long‑term benefits like lower running costs, quieter operation, and improved driver wellbeing despite higher upfront prices.
