SuperBottoms announces 95% delivery success rate with Shipway integration
'Our customers place a lot of reliance on our commitment to make time-bound, error-free deliveries," said SuperBottoms' co-founder Pallavi Utagi in a press release. "Our partnership with Shipway has transformed our logistics operations, with higher delivery success rates and reduced RTOs."
The Shipway system uses data such as location, product type, packet size, and delivery timelines to assign the most suitable courier partner. Digitised order segregation and prompt processing further reduce delays, while the unified platform enables real-time visibility and control over order fulfilment.
'We are delighted to deliver high-impact outcomes for SuperBottoms as they expand their business and establish high customer service standards," said Shipway's chief business officer Saurabh Kumar Choudhary. SuperBottoms also uses Unicommerce's Uniware to manage orders from its own website, marketplaces like Meesho, and baby-focused platforms such as FirstCry. This integration supports order processing, inventory management, and reduced manual errors as demand for baby care products rises across India.
Founded by Pallavi Utagi in 2018, SuperBottoms promotes 'guilt-free diapering' through reusable cloth diapers. With timely delivery crucial for its customer base, the brand implemented Shipway's logistics management platform to improve courier partner selection and delivery reliability.

White House starts TikTok account as platform in US legal limbo
The TikTok Inc. building is seen in Culver City, California on March 17, 2023. DAMIAN DOVARGANES / AP The White House launched a TikTok account on Tuesday, August 19, as President Donald Trump continues to permit the Chinese-owned platform to operate in the United States despite a law requiring its sale. "America we are BACK! What's up TikTok?" read a caption on the account's first post on the popular video sharing app, a 27-second clip. The account had about 4,500 followers an hour after posting the video. Trump's personal account on TikTok meanwhile has 110.1 million followers, though his last post was on November 5, 2024 – Election Day. TikTok is owned by China-based internet company ByteDance. A federal law requiring TikTok's sale or ban on national security grounds was due to take effect the day before Trump's inauguration on January 20. But the Republican, whose 2024 election campaign relied heavily on social media and who has said he is fond of TikTok, put the ban on pause. In mid-June, Trump extended a deadline for the popular video-sharing app by another 90 days to find a non-Chinese buyer or be banned in the United States. That extension is due to expire in mid-September. While Trump had long supported a ban or divestment, he reversed his position and vowed to defend the platform – which boasts almost two billion global users – after coming to believe it helped him win young voters' support in the November election. Trump's official account on X, formerly Twitter, has 108.5 million followers – though his favored social media outlet is Truth Social, which he owns, where he has 10.6 million followers. The official White House accounts on X and Instagram have 2.4 million and 9.3 million followers, respectively. Le Monde with AFP Reuse this content

Portugal airport strikes disrupt summer travel until Septembe
Travellers heading to Portugal this summer are being warned to expect weekend delays and cancellations as airport staff strike across the country throughout August. Aircraft servicing, baggage handling and check-in teams are walking out every weekend this month over low pay, unpaid night shifts and parking disputes following British-owned Menzies Aviation's takeover of Groundforce operations. Airports in Lisbon, Faro and Porto, as well as Madeira, Porto Santo and the Azores, are all affected, with disruptions impacting flights during the height of the summer season. Travellers advised to check before flying The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has cautioned that the collective action over weekends in August could lead to significant delays. Portugal's airports managing company ANA has issued similar advice, warning that several airlines – including state-owned carrier TAP – are likely to be affected. Passengers should be ready for more weekend disruption as soon as tomorrow, with the third of the five planned strikes set to begin: 15 to 18 August 22 to 25 August 29 August to 1 September Flights have already been delayed and cancelled The strikes have caused chaos at Portugal's busiest airports. On the first weekend, Lisbon's Humberto Delgado Airport scrapped more than 70 flights. The second wave from 8 to 11 August brought more headaches with eight flights to Lisbon cancelled. Long delays also held up departures. According to union sources cited by Lusa News Agency, around 25 flights left without passengers' checked bags, too. The standoff has sparked a bitter public feud between Menzies and the Metallurgical and Related Industries Union (SIMA), which represents the striking employees. 'We were forced into this situation by the intransigence of the current management, represented by its vice-president Rui Gomes, who opted for confrontation instead of dialogue, refusing solutions that respected workers' rights and the interests of the country,' SIMA leader Carlos Araújo said in a statement earlier in August. 'In the middle of the high tourist season, Menzies and TAP have chosen to turn their backs on their professionals, customers and all those who visit Portugal, with an arrogant, irresponsible and calculated attitude.' Meanwhile, Menzies said plans were in place to keep operations running and insisted the company respects the law and workers' rights. A spokesperson for Menzies told Lusa that the union '[insists] on promoting a distorted narrative based on unfounded allegations.' Chaos reigns across European airports Portugal's strikes are just one part of a summer of disruption across Europe. Italy endured a four-hour nationwide airport strike on 26 July, after earlier walkouts forced 73 flight cancellations in one day across Milan, Venice and Naples. Spain has already seen disruption from Volotea's crew and pilots, who staged a strike on 26 July, affecting flights to more than 100 destinations. Now, from 15-17 August, airports across Spain expect more delays, as more than 3,000 workers at Azul Handling – part of the Ryanair group – have planned a walk-out at 12 airports. The strikes are expected to continue weekly through December. But few strikes have had the impact of those in France. Air staff strikes in July forced airlines to cancel thousands of flights, affecting more than 1 million passengers. Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary slammed the strikes as 'holding European families to ransom' and called for EU action to protect travellers. Holidaymakers heading to Portugal or elsewhere in Europe are advised to leave extra time at airports, monitor announcements from airlines and expect delays at major hubs. With strikes coinciding with peak-season travel, this summer's ongoing disruptions serve as a reminder of how quickly holiday plans can be blown off course.

Geox posts 4.7% revenue drop in H1 2025 as market conditions remain challenging
Italian footwear and lifestyle brand Geox began 2025 on a softer note, reporting first-half revenues of €305.3 million (£262.6 million), a 4.7% decline compared to the same period last year. Excluding the impact of store closures in the United States and China, the drop narrowed to 1.9%. Despite the revenue dip, the company posted improved profitability, with EBITDA reaching €34.2 million (£29.4 million), reflecting an 11.2% margin on sales—up from €29.1 million (£25 million) in the first half of 2024. 'The first half of financial year 2025 continues to be impacted by difficult macroeconomic conditions,' Geox said in a statement. 'Consumer spending remains weak, shaped by low confidence and a significant drop in demand. Despite this, we are staying focused on our Business Plan priorities—targeting more profitable markets, streamlining operations, and managing costs.' The company noted that these strategies are already improving operating margins and reinforcing confidence in its long-term plan. The Spring/Summer 2026 sales campaign began in May and will run through to September. Initial customer response has been positive, with the company citing strong interest in the updated style and commercial positioning of the collection. Geox also confirmed that it successfully completed the first phase of a €30 million (£25.8 million) capital increase outlined in its Financial Manoeuvre, with full shareholder participation. 'This result motivates us and confirms the path of revitalisation we are pursuing,' the company said. Revenue from wholesale channels totalled €100.6 million (£86.5 million), down 5.6%, while retail sales declined 2.1% to €124.1 million (£106.7 million). The company highlighted that several store closures took place during the period, but on a like-for-like basis, sales from its directly operated monobrand stores saw a slight increase. Digital sales—including the Geox-owned e-commerce platform and marketplace operations—dropped 7.4% versus the first half of 2024. Geographically, Italy grew 1.6% to €90.5 million (£77.8 million), supported by a 43.8% increase in online sales and stable retail performance (+0.2%). Sales in Europe slipped 1.1% to €144.7 million (£124.4 million), mainly due to weaker results in the DACH region and the Iberian Peninsula. Revenues from "Other Countries" reached €70.1 million (£60.3 million), a 17.5% decrease attributed largely to the absence of sales from the U.S. and China, which contributed approximately €9 million (£7.7 million) in H1 2024. The region was also impacted by ongoing challenges in Russia and nearby markets, although growth in Canada (+14.5%) and the Middle East and Africa (+18.6%) helped offset the decline. In terms of product categories, footwear continued to dominate Geox's business, generating 91.9% of total revenue. Shoe sales reached €280.7 million (£241.4 million), down 3.8% year on year. Apparel sales dropped 13.6% to €24.6 million (£21.2 million). (€1 = £0.86)
