Picture this: A plant expedites material from a supplier 200 miles away, yet the same material is sitting in a trailer 200 feet from the receiving dock. Nobody knew it was there. This is what inbound supply chain dysfunction actually looks like. It plays out across procurement, planning, transportation, warehousing, and customer ops every single day because no single team owns the full picture. Shana Wray breaks down why inbound won't stay a manual operation much longer, and what it looks like when AI does the coordination work instead of just reporting on it.

87% of appointments booked. Zero human intervention. United States Cold Storage, Inc. recently deployed our AI-powered Digital Worker Alan to handle scheduling across 38 facilities amid complex, retailer-specific requirements.

Working with a freight forwarder means buying three things bundled together: carrier relationships, operational data, and coordination labor. That bundle is coming apart. AI platforms can now ingest a carrier contract, parse surcharges and FAK provisions into a digital rate profile, enforce routing guide rules on every booking, and execute against pre-negotiated terms without a person in the middle. Forwarders are investing in AI too, but they're automating from their own transaction history alone, a narrower signal base than a platform sitting across orders, inventory, and live shipment data.

What does it actually take to move from reactive supply chain operations to predictive execution? Our very own, Stephen Dyke, joined the Supply Chain Connect podcast to tackle exactly that, from the fragmentation slowing down ocean freight digitization, to how intelligent control towers and agentic AI are changing the game.

Supply chain debates > supply chain panels. ⚖️ At Manifest earlier this year, practitioners argued both sides of the hardest calls in the industry. 90% of the room voted that AI should act autonomously on routine decisions — and yet most of their companies are still running manual exception management. The gap between conviction and deployment is real, but these four sessions show you how to close it. 👉 https://4kites.cc/4t8oqbo

In case you missed it, Priya Rajagopalan joined Jeff Perrot, Director, North America Transportation at Kimberly-Clark, on stage at Gartner Supply Chain Symposium last week for a conversation around supply chain transformation. What’s working, what didn't, and where technology is actually moving the needle. Curious what a fully connected platform looks like in action?
