WEBINAR: Why Choose Between Reducing Risk or Optimizing Costs?

As supply chain chaos continues, one of the most difficult challenges for suppliers & manufacturers is identifying strategic sourcing opportunities and across multiple facilities. In addition, organizations have relied on excess inventory as an insurance policy at the expense of opportunities to balance working capital. What if you no longer had to choose between reducing risk and optimizing costs?

Join us and learn how Verusen’s Trusted Network capabilities bridge the gap between procurement and operations initiatives and builds trust that your supply will meet your demand for the next generation of materials intelligence.

Procurement and operations leaders need increased visibility into their data across their network, and to be able to trust their data is correct in real-time. That means changing how they approach their own systems and rethinking what an optimized and future-proof supply network is.

2026 Procurement Priorities: What’s Changing (and What You Need to Do First)

Procurement teams already shoulder immense pressure to deliver margin, resilience, and stronger supplier partnerships — and 2026 is only going to heighten those expectations. Fortunately, teams already have a powerful, often under-looked resource at their disposal: rebates. In this webinar, Supply Chain Now hosts Scott Luton and Marty Parker welcome rebate and procurement experts Mark Gilham from Enable and Keith Wright from K. Wright Consultancy to help you understand how rebates, incentive programs, and joint business planning can create alignment, unlock hidden value, and make your supplier relationships far more strategic. They will reveal what most procurement teams don’t know about rebates, the full spectrum of incentive programs available, and how these programs can transform suppliers and buyers into a unified go-to-market force. Join us to learn how organizations are leveraging AI to overcome traditional rebate management barriers, empowering suppliers to offer richer incentives — and giving procurement unprecedented visibility to ensure no money is left on the table.

Every warehouse operation has a workforce plan. The question is how resilient it is when conditions change. On any given day, volumes may shift. Customer priorities change. Demand profiles evolve. In a complex operating environment, variability isn’t unusual: it’s embedded in the operating model. And when labor productivity underpins service commitments, cost performance, and overall financial outcomes, even modest deviations between plan and reality can carry meaningful impact. How do leading operations teams close the gap between strategy and real-world execution? In this executive-level fireside chat, Brandon Wibben, VP of Workforce Planning + Productivity at GEODIS, joins Karl Koehler, COO of Easy Metrics, to discuss how high-performing operations teams manage productivity, performance, and profitability in complex, high-variability environments. Drawing from real-world operational leadership, they’ll explore how data-driven workforce planning, productivity management, and daily execution must come together to protect cost performance and deliver on fulfillment commitments. The conversation will look at the persistent planning-versus-reality gap that defines high-volume operations – and how leaders can close it. Attendees will gain practical insights on how to: – Strengthen the connection between workforce planning and daily operational performance – Optimize productivity across sites, processes, and shifts with greater precision and accountability – Preserve…
