Rico van Leuken speaks to Global Trade Magazine

Bluerock TMS CEO Rico van Leuken has been featured in Global Trade Magazine, one of the leading publications for US companies operating in global markets, with a piece exploring why supply chain volatility, not tariffs themselves, is the real threat facing logistics operations today.

In the article, Rico argues that while tariffs dominate the headlines, the deeper problem is the volatility they create and whether your transportation management system is equipped to handle it. Most legacy TMS platforms were built for stability, not disruption. When trade policy shifts overnight, they leave logistics teams scrambling.

The piece makes the case for a new standard in transportation management: systems that offer real-time visibility, rapid scenario planning, and the flexibility to adapt carrier strategies, routing, and cost modelling without manual intervention.
