WEBINAR: The Cold Chain Dilemma: Why Visibility Falls Short and What Really Works
Transporting perishable goods, whether its medicine or produce, is no easy task and requires intense planning. Supply chain and logistics professionals have employed a number of solutions over the past years to ‘get more visibility’ to what is happening and avoid issues. Yet, even with devices frequently transmitting temperature & location in real time, cold chains around the world still suffer from product loss and products arriving with less shelf life than expected.
Join Supply Chain Now host Scott Luton, along with Ilya Preston and Brian Shultz with PAXAFE and dive into the reasons why visibility falls short and discover:
- Why “getting more visibility” isn’t the only solution—many cold chain operations are sitting on valuable data with hidden insights ready to be uncovered.
- The challenges of handling vast new data streams, including the costs, staffing needs, and limits of human-based monitoring for scaling insights.
- How managed logistics data can speed decision-making, cut costs, and provide a competitive edge by transforming sensor data into actionable insights.
- The power of data-driven decisions across domains and how teams leveraging AI can confidently respond to leadership with consistent, fact-based insights.

How Ferguson’s Metrics-Driven Strategy Drove an 18% Improvement in Operational Efficiency
Labor management is a good start to understanding operational performance, but productivity metrics alone are inadequate to drive efficiencies and business results at scale. Learn how Ferguson has superpowered their labor management practices with Operations Financial Management (OpsFM). Their sophisticated approach to data helps them quickly discern the root causes of performance lags – such as labor performance, processes, or a change in workflow. And by managing to both performance and cost metrics, they are able to bridge the understanding between operations and finance. Join Supply Chain Now hosts, Scott Luton and Tandreia Bellamy, along with Blake Engel of Ferguson and Dan Keto of Easy Metrics, as they show you how to bridge that gap. Learn how Ferguson manages their business by the numbers and drives operational efficiencies at scale. In this webinar you will learn: How to factor difficulty of work content and adjust labor to account for it How to identify the causes of waste and take action for efficiency gains The data sources you need to merge and unify to get visibility at this level How to approach metrics to understand process performance What are the key KPIs, from GM to employee, and how to cascade them
