WEBINAR: Navigating Logistics Disruptions with Advanced Technology and Automated Collaboration

In an era where the intersection of physical logistics and advanced technologies is crucial, our webinar with Xpertminds and Descartes offers a deep dive into strategies for optimizing your logistics operations. Join us as we explore the effective utilization of technology, emphasizing global partner connectivity, real-time visibility, and predictive shipment ETAs. The focus of this webinar is to guide you in enhancing and integrating your back-end systems with leading supply chain tools, fostering a seamlessly connected logistics ecosystem. Throughout the webinar, we will unravel the complexities of logistics technology, from critical interplay of transportation, warehousing, and compliance along with their impact on other supply chain processes. We’ll delve into specific use cases for inbound and outbound freight, sharing valuable insights for reducing costs and increasing customer service gleaned from customer projects.

The webinar will highlight the benefits of Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and real-time transportation visibility, providing a comprehensive understanding of real-world use cases, best practices and lessons learned from customer-specific deployments. Case studies, including the resilient journey of Blue Diamond Growers, will illustrate the tangible benefits of reducing dependencies on manual processes.

Connectivity solutions take center stage, addressing the web of networks and end-points that often pose challenges in agility and change management. We’ll also tackle the pertinent issues of licensing costs, particularly in the SAP ecosystem, and the timing considerations for SAP ERP upgrades versus implementing new solutions.

As we navigate the logistics technology landscape, AI’s role in connectivity applications will be explored, highlighting how it streamlines processes and reduces the need for manual data mapping. The webinar will conclude by addressing the ongoing support for SAP S/4HANA migration and partnerships to extend logistics capabilities.

How AI-Powered Purchasing Will Save You Millions Without a Data Cleanse

Let’s face it, MRO inventory is usually overbought and underinsured, costing millions. But organizations rarely do anything about it because they’re convinced their data just isn’t in a good enough place to make MRO optimization a priority. But perfect data doesn’t exist, it never will, no matter how many data cleanses you waste money on. Explore how AI is creating a new approach to MRO/indirect materials optimization and bridging the gap between procurement and operations teams, while breaking the stigma of having to have perfect data to get started. Learn how leading manufacturers have adopted an AI approach and have learned the secret that’s been hiding in plain sight. We’ll discuss topics such as: -Eliminating the need for lengthy and costly data cleanse projects -Increasing visibility of spend and price variances to reduce tail spend -Building confidence in your MRO inventory availability to ensure you will have the right part at the right time at the right place, at the right cost -Identifying millions in savings opportunities through inventory deduplication, revamped stocking policies, and network-sharing opportunities

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.
