El Poder de la Visibilidad

En este episodio de Supply Chain Now en español nos adentramos en una conversación que inspira y abre la mente sobre el poder de la visibilidad y trazabilidad en la cadena de suministro. Nuestro invitado, José Guillermo Suárez, director de ventas para Latinoamérica en Tive Inc., comparte con nosotros su fascinante trayectoria: desde sus primeros pasos en Australia trabajando con productos mexicanos, hasta convertirse en un referente en soluciones tecnológicas que están revolucionando la logística en todo el continente. A lo largo del episodio descubrimos que la logística no solo trata de contenedores, rutas o procesos, sino de conectar personas, crear confianza y anticipar lo que viene. José nos cuenta cómo la innovación de Tive permite tener control en tiempo real de la carga, prevenir riesgos y generar decisiones más inteligentes, incluso en contextos tan retadores como Latinoamérica. Además, exploramos cómo la lectura, la sustentabilidad y los aprendizajes personales marcan la diferencia en la forma de liderar y enfrentar desafíos. Con anécdotas sinceras, reflexiones valiosas y ejemplos prácticos, este episodio nos recuerda que la logística, más que un negocio, es un puente de confianza y transformación.   Subscríbete a nuestro canal de YouTube: https://bit.ly/SCNE_YouTube Únete a nuestro newsletter: ⁠https://bit.ly/SCNE_Newsletter Síguenos…
