WEBINAR: You Can't Manage What You Can't See: Using Visibility, KPIs, and AI to Optimize Logistics Operations

In today’s supply chains, every movement, handoff, and delay has a direct impact on cost, efficiency, and production continuity. For manufacturers operating at scale, maintaining visibility across carriers, yards, inventory, and transportation networks is critical to preventing disruptions and meeting performance expectations.

Join Supply Chain Now, Kaleris, and materials logistics expert Ken Moore of Subaru of Indiana Automotive as they discuss his team’s journey from manual yard tracking and spreadsheets to a highly visible, data-driven logistics operation spanning multiple facilities, thousands of trailer locations, and hundreds of daily trailer movements. Learn how yard management, KPI-driven oversight, trailer tracking, and emerging AI capabilities are helping Ken’s department improve operational visibility, manage costs, optimize resources, and keep production moving.

This conversation will explore practical lessons learned, best practices for measuring logistics performance, and how technology can help supply chain teams make faster, more informed decisions without losing the critical human expertise needed to drive results.
