The power of opportunity in your hand

Global sales for exported automotive parts or accessories from all countries totaled US$400.4 billion in 2021. Overall, the value of auto parts exports increased by an average 2.9% for all exporting countries since 2017 when auto parts shipments were valued at $389.1 billion. For 2021, collectively, the top five major exporters (Germany, China, US, Japan and Mexico) accounted for more than 50% of the global auto parts market in terms of volume.

As the world has become one big opportunity hub, the key is to focus on finding affordable and reliable tools enabling businesses to enjoy the benefits of a hyper connected environment.

75% of CEOs say strategic partnerships are essential to their growth, but more than half report trouble finding and connecting with partners. The fact is, companies are missing out on new strategic partners because they lack the resources and networks of larger firms and we don’t believe that’s right.

At Powerlinx, we believe there’s a better way to find new partners — and we’re using a combination of smart technology and the power of the Internet to build it. We have also narrowed down the opportunity creation process to only three steps, for your business to have the most exposure as quickly as possible.

From a networking perspective, as we are now more connected than ever, the opportunities for synergistic partnerships, increasing geographical reach, diversification of distribution channels, increasing revenue or just seeking new customers can be unlimited, but daunting and costly to look for.

Fortunately, platforms like Powerlinx are breaking down the barriers to allow players of all sizes to take advantage of these types of opportunities, allowing businesses to drive growth. Dubbed ‘The Tinder for Business’ by Calcalist, a reference also made by Israel’s N12, and with the goal of helping as many businesses as possible, Powerlinx allows companies to showcase their products or services to potential interested parties, look for strategic partners and act on business opportunities listed by other firms, on-the-go, with its mobile app.

“For times like these, you can rest assured Powerlinx will be there to help you uncover opportunities for sustainable growth to accelerate your path to prosperity” Meir Shachar, Powerlinx CEO.

Moving forward, digitization is prime to transform nearly every aspect of the logistics industry. With the future potential of Industry 4.0 becoming our present-day reality, the industry is in the midst of rapid change. Over the last two years, the logistics industry faced unique challenges, from lockdowns to lack of global supply chain coordination, and even a war. And the time has come for innovative solutions to tackle these problems.

Cloud computing, cyber-physical systems, and the Internet of Things are all changing how businesses operate. Industry experts and CEOs see digitization as the best way to achieve cost reduction and revenue growth, and companies like Flexportare already tackling this challenge from a freight forwarder perspective. With the industry becoming more efficient and advanced, companies that fail to adapt will find themselves lagging behind their competitors.

The process of finding strategic partners is no exception to this dramatic trend. Creating and maintaining an advanced, nimble supply chain is vital to a business’ long term health. Examples of new strategic partnerships abound today, such as the deal struck by Uber Freight and Waymo Via recently. Even the reasons for forming new partnerships is changing. Instead of mitigating risk or entering new markets, CEOs are looking for new technologies and innovation capabilities. As customers increasingly demand environmentally sustainable products, it will become increasingly important to find environmentally aware suppliers and partners to best satisfy consumer demand.
