  • Great format!

    I am really enjoying the insights from the different perspectives in the field. The 20 minute show length is great as most shows are an hour or more in length per episode, this show cuts out the fluff and gets right to the good stuff.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI in Supply Chain: Automation Is Not Autonomy
Q: What are practical patterns for leveraging LLMs in supply chain planning without over-claiming their capabilities?
LLMs excel as planners, explainers, and retrieval aids. Practical use includes using LLMs to explain and justify decisions, to retrieve relevant policies and contracts, and to run scenario analyses that feed into optimization tools. They should be paired with planners and simulators and grounded with data and tools so outcomes are interpretable and auditable.
AI in Supply Chain: Automation Is Not Autonomy
Q: Let's get into it. What is agentic AI in supply chain, and what should it never decide alone?
Agentic AI refers to software with agency that can plan actions, call tools, and execute multi-step workflows with minimal human prompts. However, there are critical decision domains—especially those with direct human impact or high stakes like penalties or safety—where humans must retain control and set guardrails; autonomous decisions without clear objectives and risk controls are not prudent yet.
Why Cross-Border Logistics Has No Spare Days Left
Q: How are tariffs shaping fulfillment decisions and what should leaders focus on?
Tariffs introduce uncertainty and drive the need for smarter localization and warehousing strategies (e.g., stocking in Canada to optimize tariffs), rather than simply trying to push everything across borders. Leaders should ask how to move items efficiently worldwide while managing costs and compliance.
Why Cross-Border Logistics Has No Spare Days Left
Q: What markets do you serve and how has cross-border evolved recently?
Landmark operates across Europe, Asia, and North America with a footprint in Australia, addressing increased consumer expectations, more platform competition, and rising complexity from tariffs and duties through pre-calculated, upfront costs and trusted brokerages.
Why Cross-Border Logistics Has No Spare Days Left
Q: What is Landmark Global and what problems are you solving for whom?
Landmark Global helps retailers and e-commerce platforms deliver goods cross-border by pre-calculating duties and taxes and providing end-to-end tracking, so customers get a domestic-like checkout experience with full visibility.
