  • Anything but sponsored content?

    I’ve now tried listening to 4-5 episodes and unfortunately every time I’m met with the same thought. “Is this just a window for company’s to get exposure?”

    For me it seems too obvious that the subjects discussed are dictated by what companies wanting exposure and not matters that’s relevant for me as a leader in supply chain.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

565: Beyond Visibility: Turning Logistics Data Into Landed Cost Savings, with Gnosis Freight
Q: Why is logistics often treated as a cost center, and how can data change that perspective?
Because the organization historically views logistics as a cost to manage, but with accurate, real-time data and cross-functional visibility, logistics can drive top-line growth, cash flow improvements, and risk reduction, turning it into a strategic driver.
562: Navigating Today's Transportation Landscape to Deliver in Peak Season, with Infios
Q: What should shippers be considering as we move into Q4 and the holiday peak?
The guidance centers on flexibility, proactive network planning, and leveraging total visibility to anticipate disruptions, with AI and data-driven guardrails helping to reconfigure networks quickly rather than chasing single lanes.
562: Navigating Today's Transportation Landscape to Deliver in Peak Season, with Infios
Q: How tight is the truckload capacity, and what makes this peak season different from the last few years?
Steve notes a rapid capacity contraction, with tender rejections and higher spot rates, driven by driver shortages, regulatory changes, and evolving compliance, while also highlighting the potential for alternative modes and network-wide optimization to mitigate pressure.
562: Navigating Today's Transportation Landscape to Deliver in Peak Season, with Infios
Q: Now, Steve, can you give us a quick sense of your background in transportation and what you're seeing right now as you're talking to shippers and carriers?
Steve describes four decades in the field, from starting at IBM in the 80s to co-founding Mercury Gate and evolving into Infios, emphasizing a long-running focus on using technology to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and enable businesses to adapt quickly to changing conditions across all modes of transportation.
559: From AI Hype to Business Value: The Future of Supply Chain Intelligence, with Gnosis Freight
Q: Should businesses be asking different questions when evaluating AI-powered logistics platforms?
