If you sell physical products, warehousing and shipping costs can make or break your business. But most companies treat order fulfillment as an afterthought, running toward a future in which they won’t be able to compete with marketplace giants. Scott Luton with Supply Chain Now will sit down with Jeremy Bodenhamer, CEO of ShipHawk, the leading provider of advanced fulfillment software with expert guidance to help businesses scale. They’ll discuss the need to adapt to today’s ever-changing supply chain or face extinction, including case studies in which one wrong move in something as simple as packaging can send a company into the red. But there is a better way. By embracing end-to-end automation, companies can ensure that every item is warehoused effectively and shipped quickly, in the best package, at the best rate that meets customer expectations, restoring critical savings to your bottom line. And you don’t have to be Amazon to do this.

Businesses are collecting mountainous amounts of data, but few are using that data to make transformative change. Multiple departments, systems, and processes, often working in siloes with varying tasks, responsibilities, conflicts of interest, create a patchwork of data points. This makes it difficult for finance teams to access and analyze information that gives them both the ‘big picture’ and granular detail. With restricted visibility, effective decision-making across the supply chain becomes a challenge. It’s time for finance to take a strategic standpoint, to create a more efficient, resilient, and cost-effective supply chain. Join this session while we cover topics such as : The challenges and risks with financial data Why data is your single source of truth The strategic role of finance in the supply chain How to establish a data-driven supply chain
