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.

Cargo theft surged again in 2025 — not just as a crime trend, but as a signal of deeper supply chain vulnerabilities. As organized networks evolve, and economic and geopolitical pressures persist, traditional approaches to cargo security are no longer enough. Hosted by Supply Chain Now’s Scott Luton, join industry leaders with Tive, Stridas & CargoNet for a forward-looking discussion on what this year’s trends tell us about the future of cargo theft — and how supply chain teams can prepare for the year ahead. We’ll unpack where and why theft patterns are shifting, explore how intelligence and visibility are reshaping prevention, and hear real-world insights from a customer who’s turning data into action. Whether you’re managing global logistics, transportation networks, or in-transit visibility, this session will help you understand what’s next — and how to stay one step ahead in 2026.
