As the repercussions of COVID are still echoing through supply chains around the world, how can businesses adapt to the new reality of constant uncertainty? Optimas Solutions, a major parts distributor and manufacturer, has seen both supply and demand reliability turned upside down. In this session, we’ll have a candid discussion with Optimas’ President of Americas, Daniel Harms and ToolsGroup’s General Manager, Americas, David Barton, about how Optimas maintains service to customers amid protracted supply constraints. You’ll hear practical advice for how manufacturers and distributors can actually plan for uncertainty and lean on technology to keep performance high despite staffing challenges.

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.
