What does it take to grow a logistics company from a single box truck into a thriving omnichannel 3PL—and rebuild it after everything burns to the ground? In this episode of *Supply Chain Decoded*, Jenni Ruiz sits down with Leo Rodriguez, Vice President of River Plate Logistics, to trace the remarkable story of the family business his mother, Daniela Yvonne Rodriguez, founded more than 30 years ago. What began as local freight and courier work between Los Angeles and San Diego has grown into a nearly 140,000-square-foot operation serving today's fast-moving retail and e-commerce landscape. Leo shares how River Plate rose from the ashes of a devastating warehouse fire, evolved from paper-based processes to AI-enabled systems, and maintained the personal relationships that remain essential to great logistics. They also unpack: * How tariffs and tighter margins are reshaping decisions for consumer brands * Why retailers are replacing large purchase orders with smaller, more frequent shipments * How 3PLs can help brands reduce hidden costs and protect profitability * Where AI is making the biggest difference in warehouse and transportation operations * Why successful 3PL partnerships require ongoing collaboration long after implementation Through every market shift, Leo's message is clear: technology can surface the answers, but communication, reliability, and true partnership are what keep supply chains moving. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.

In this episode, co-hosts Ted Stank and Tom Goldsby welcome John Langley, professor emeritus at the University of Tennessee, founder of the Annual Third-Party Logistics Study, and a leader who helped establish the UT Supply Chain Forum in 1998.As the 31st Annual 3PL Study enters its next chapter with GSCI as an official partner, Langley reflects on what more than three decades of research reveal about the evolution of logistics outsourcing and the relationships that make it work. From an era when companies bought transportation and warehousing separately to today's end-to-end logistics providers, he explains why the most effective shipper-3PL relationships are built on shared information, honest dialogue, aligned incentives, and a mutual understanding of each other's business.The conversation also examines the risks reshaping supply chains in 2026: freight fraud, AI-enabled threats, geopolitical disruption, changing trade lanes, and rising transportation costs. Langley shares why preparation, education, and the ability to change quickly separate resilient organizations from the rest, as well as why strategic partnerships cannot be strategic in name only when providers are rebid solely on lowest cost.Along the way, Langley discusses the legacy and future of the Annual 3PL Study, the role of UT faculty and students in its next phase, and his long connection to the Supply Chain Forum.The episode was recorded virtually on September 14, 2026.Related links:Learn more about the Annual Third-Party Logistics Study and download past reports.Save the date for the Fall Supply Chain Forum, Nov. 10–12 Download free white papers from UT experts Become a GSCI partner to learn, network, and recruit with the top supply chain education institution in North America Join the Advanced Supply Chain Collaborative to explore advanced concepts in SCM with top industry experts and scholars Follow GSCI on LinkedIn Subscribe to GSCI's monthly newsletter Read the latest news and insights from GSCIText the Tennessee on Supply Chain Management team!

A two-time Supply & Demand Chain Executive Pro to Know with prior leadership roles as Chief of Analytics and General Manager of the shipper business at DAT Freight & Analytics and in pricing and decision science at FedEx, Ken brings a rare combination of market intelligence expertise and practical product-building experience. We explore what drew him from a major freight data company to a mid-sized brokerage, his mandate to advance AMMI Ship and the broader AMMI intelligence platform, and how EASE is using AI for pricing, visibility, and everyday workflow automation rather than chasing industry hype.The conversation moves from Ken's career path and the realities of translating data into usable tools to the current freight market, contract versus spot pricing discipline, and why 2026 looks like a table-setting year for operators who stay focused on execution. He shares how EASE applies metric-driven technology—automated check calls, predictive dispatch ranking, and rapid quoting—to real operational bottlenecks, particularly in regional and automotive freight, and offers a grounded view of where AI actually creates decision advantage for shippers and carriers.

I went to my first IANA Intermodal Expo with a confession: intermodal was one of the weakest areas in my logistics coverage.

#398 - El secreto del Amazon Wholesale sin intermediarios

Wizards Of Ecom (En Español)

Vender en Amazon bajo el modelo de wholesale o reventa puede parecer una vía rápida para generar ingresos en el comercio electrónico, pero enfrentarse a la alta competencia, la reducción de márgenes por intermediarios y las exigencias crecientes de la plataforma requiere una estrategia estructurada. Para construir un negocio sostenible, la clave está en pasar de la intermediación tradicional a negociar directamente con los fabricantes. En este contexto, entender cómo funciona *Amazon Wholesale* sin intermediarios permite proteger la reputación del negocio y maximizar la rentabilidad. Conrado Loaldi, fundador de ConraFBA, es un especialista en comercio electrónico que inició su camino en Amazon en 2020 y logró facturar más de $500,000 USD en su primer año. Con un negocio consolidado que supera los $7 millones de dólares en ventas anuales y una empresa de distribución activa en Estados Unidos y Latinoamérica, Conrado explica la estrategia detrás del modelo Wholesale. El trayecto de Conrado comenzó en plena pandemia tras quedarse sin empleo, apostando inicialmente por la creación de marca propia (Private Label). Aunque logró una facturación inicial de $80,000 USD en un solo mes, el lanzamiento de un segundo artículo electrónico sufrió un fallo masivo de calidad que desplomó la calificación de los listados. Con dos contenedores en tránsito desde China y pérdidas de $80,000 USD tras tener que liquidar y donar la mercancía, decidió no cerrar su empresa al comprender el alcance de los millones de compradores activos en Amazon. Con solo $1,000 USD restantes en su tarjeta de crédito, reorientó su modelo hacia la reventa de productos con demanda validada en la categoría de cuidado personal. Para optimizar el modelo, Conrado dio un paso decisivo: dejó de comprar a distribuidores para trabajar bajo el concepto "Direct with Brands" o directo con fabricantes. Esta modalidad elimina los márgenes que consumen los intermediarios y proporciona facturas directas de la marca a la LLC, un requisito fundamental para cumplir con las estrictas verificaciones de cadena de suministro y de Amazon. Asimismo, aconseja a los emprendedores diferenciarse al contactar marcas aportando valor desde la primera interacción en lugar de solicitar únicamente listas de precios, además de formalizar el negocio desde el primer día con una LLC, contar con al menos $3,000 USD de capital inicial e invertir en formación especializada para evitar errores costosos. En el apartado logístico, Conrado combina una bodega propia en Florida con el uso de centros de preparación tercerizados (3PL o prep centers), lo que le permite enviar mercancía directamente desde la zona del proveedor hacia las bodegas de Amazon sin asumir traslados innecesarios ni sobrecostos por el incremento en el precio del diésel. Al comparar este modelo con un negocio físico —cuyos costos fijos pueden oscilar entre $30,000 y $45,000 USD mensuales—, destaca la oportunidad de escalar un negocio global con bases sólidas.

Nineteen months ago Steph Moore was a nurse with no fashion background, no ecommerce experience and a copy of Adobe Illustrator she'd taught herself after night shifts. Today Hey Sister Scrub Club sells out drops, has a 6,000-strong email list and was runner-up for Rookie of the Year at the SHE-com awards.In this episode Steph walks Ryan through the whole build: cold-contacting manufacturers until one agreed to work from her own prints and measurements, the sample sets that came back with head holes too small to get into, and the decision to order 360 units across six prints on nothing more than gut feel and a few colleagues' opinions.She's unusually open about the parts most founders leave out. August was her biggest month ever. July was her worst — not because demand dropped, but because she sold out of core sizes and had no stock to sell. Her tech stack is Shopify and almost nothing else: no automated flows, no abandoned cart emails, every one of those 6,000 emails written and sent by hand. She bought Klaviyo ages ago and still hasn't set it up.There's also the shipment that arrived soaking wet after a flooded hangar, the drop where half the orders went out with one print on the front and a different one on the back, and the Pink October collection covered in boobs — designed specifically so a patient would ask "have you checked yours?"Plus: why she won't use a 3PL, what she wants her future warehouse to feel like, and the line that explains why the copycats flooding the fun scrubs market don't worry her much.CHAPTERS(00:40) Meet Steph Moore, founder of Hey Sister Scrub Club(01:00) From nursing shifts to Adobe Illustrator all-nighters(02:16) Cold-contacting manufacturers until one said yes(03:00) Sample problems, and the set that finally worked(04:32) The first drop: 360 units and six prints on gut feel(05:14) Where the name "Hey Sister" came from(07:05) Building an Instagram community before there was stock(08:00) Why she chose a pre-order: cash flow and capacity control(11:07) Growth that's been almost entirely organic(13:01) Global expansion and the US tariff roadblock(14:11) Biggest month ever, right after the worst month ever(15:50) Retail Fest, SHE-com, and learning what CAC and ROAS mean(17:45) An honest look at a very lean tech stack(21:04) The next 12 months: going casual with nursing(24:08) The hardest moments, including a shipment that arrived soaked(28:03) The mixed-print mistake and the "keep it, pay it forward" policy(30:17) "You can replicate the product, but you can't replicate the brand"(31:49) The Pink October drop that got people talking(34:10) Becoming "the Peter Alexander of the scrub world"(36:41) What's next for Hey Sister Scrub ClubHEY SISTER SCRUB CLUBREMARKABLE DIGITAL

Hike & Pod! 23 years of Building a Business using this 1 Concept with Founder/CEO of M&M Quality Solutions, Brian McMaster

The Happy Hustle Podcast

There's a version of success that looks amazing on paper and feels completely empty on the inside. I know because I've talked to a lot of entrepreneurs who chased the number first and the meaning second, and most of them will tell you they got it backwards. This episode is a gut check on that exact thing, recorded on one of our favorite hiking pods out here in Montana.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I hike & pod with Brian McMasters, founder of M&M Quality Solutions, a third party logistics company headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri with operations in Salt Lake City and York, Pennsylvania. Brian has been running M&M Quality Solutions for 23 years and has been part of our Happy Hustle community for three of them. He's built his business on a simple, unfashionable idea, that real people beat bots every single time, and that the fastest way to grow a company is to actually care about the people inside it. He's also a husband, a man of deep faith, and someone who's about to release a book on the lessons that took him decades to learn the hard way.What makes this one matter is how honest Brian gets about the cost of chasing money for money's sake. He's not some guru talking theory. He's a guy who built a real logistics company from the ground up, hit the wall that almost every entrepreneur hits, and came out the other side with a totally different definition of what winning actually looks like. If you've ever felt like the hustle was starting to hollow you out instead of fill you up, this conversation is for you.A few things stood out to me that I don't want you to miss.Persistence beats talent every time. Brian says the number one reason he's still standing after 23 years is that he never quit, plain and simple. He calls himself a survivor, and when you remember that most businesses don't even make it past year one, that word means something.Your business should reflect what you actually care about. M&M Quality Solutions started as a pick, pack, and ship operation, and Brian is now steering it toward health and wellness products because that's where his own passion lives. He's not interested in being another faceless 3PL with hidden fees and confusing invoices. He wants his team to care about what's inside the box, not just get it out the door.You cannot build a real business alone. Brian talks about how lonely entrepreneurship gets without a community around you, people who've actually done the work and not just read about it. That's a huge reason he's stuck with Happy Hustle for three years running.Giving beats getting, in business and in love. His advice on relationships hit hard. Don't go in looking for what you can get, go in looking for what you can give, and it comes back to you tenfold. He said the same thing basically applies to how he leads his team.The biggest regret is almost always the same one. Brian was honest that his one regret is spending too many years chasing the money instead of investing that time in his people. Once he flipped that, everything else started to make sense.We also get into his rapid fire round, which is always one of my favorite parts of these hikes. Steak for the food, A Few Good Men for the movie, Think and Grow Rich for the book, and squats for the workout, which he says he used to hate and now genuinely loves. We talk about his morning routine of fifteen to twenty minutes in silence with God before the day even starts, why he trusts a real advisor over just checking boxes with an accountant, and the working title of his upcoming book, which traces back to lessons from his uncle in some very muddy backyards.This conversation reminded me why I love these hiking pods so much. You get the real version of someone when their legs are burning and their guard is down, and Brian gave us all of it. Faith, family, failure, and the kind of hard won wisdom you can only get by staying in the game for over two decades.If you're ready to rethink what you're actually chasing and why, go listen to the full episode. Brian's story is proof that the businesses built on people, not just profit, are the ones that last. When I asked him for his parting wisdom, he kept it simple. Pray, get a brotherhood, get out in nature, and keep hustlin'.Go listen to the full conversation now at https://happyhustle.com/podcast.Connect with Brianhttps://www.facebook.com/brian.mcmaster.50https://www.instagram.com/mmqualitysolutionshttps://www.linkedin.com/company/m-&-m-quality-solutions/https://twitter.com/mmqualsolutionsFind Brian on this website: https://mmqualitysolutions.com/about-us/Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.tiktok.com/@caryjackhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featuredGet a copy of his new book, https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Course @ https://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventure @ https://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:KilnYour environment shapes your energy and your results.

#397 - ¿Qué hacer hoy para llevar una tienda de Shopify a $100K por mes?

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 16, 2026 27:01

Llevar una tienda de Shopify a facturar $100K mensuales puede parecer la meta ideal para muchos emprendedores en comercio electrónico, pero lograrlo de forma sostenible requiere trascender la búsqueda constante de productos en tendencia y construir marcas sólidas con identidad propia. En un mercado altamente competitivo, escalar exige equilibrar la adquisición de clientes, presupuestos publicitarios agresivos y una gestión logística impecable para no erosionar los márgenes de ganancia. Desde entender la transición estratégica entre plataformas como Amazon y Shopify hasta saber cómo validar productos sin arriesgar innecesariamente el capital inicial, los emprendedores enfrentan decisiones críticas para mantenerse rentables. José Daniel Quijada, estratega de comercio electrónico con más de 8 años de experiencia, con más de $7M USD facturados en los últimos tres años a través de sus tiendas y especialista en escalar partners en Amazon y marcas en Shopify, explica cómo estructurar y hacer crecer una tienda de comercio electrónico en el mercado actual de forma rentable. El primer paso para construir un negocio escalable en Shopify es cambiar la mentalidad de perseguir modas pasajeras por la de desarrollar una marca propia con clientes recurrentes. José Daniel señala que mientras Amazon se queda con los datos del comprador, Shopify permite construir una base de clientes propia y generar un activo que perdure en el tiempo. Para quienes inician, el invitado aconseja enfocarse en la acción sobre los detalles y seleccionar un nicho específico que genere entusiasmo real. En lugar de probar productos de categorías inconexas, recomienda probar varios artículos dentro de una misma categoría utilizando el modelo de "drop testing" (hacer dropshipping hasta alcanzar cerca de 100 órdenes) para validar las señales de demanda antes de realizar pedidos con marca propia. Como afirma el especialista: "Si vas con la mentalidad de hacer dinero, estás en una tendencia. Si vas con la mentalidad de resolver un problema, vas a tener una linda marca que te perdure años". A diferencia de mercados con menores costos de adquisición, el mercado de Estados Unidos exige un presupuesto de arranque de entre $3,000 y $5,000 USD para absorber costos de plataforma, herramientas y la validación en campañas publicitarias con costos por mil impresiones (CPM) elevados. En operaciones consolidadas de alto volumen, la inversión en anuncios (Meta, Google, TikTok) suele absorber entre el 35% y el 45% de la facturación total. Además, José enfatiza que la verdadera complejidad de escalar en Shopify no es solo de marketing, sino logística. Cuando no se planifica adecuadamente el inventario y se recurre a envíos aéreos de emergencia para no pausar las campañas, los costos logísticos se disparan y reducen drásticamente el margen neto. Por ello, propone una transición gradual que inicia procesando pedidos en un almacén propio pequeño hasta alcanzar el volumen necesario para migrar a un centro logístico tercerizado (3PL). La estrategia más efectiva para alcanzar y sostener la facturación radica en la omnicanalidad, utilizando el tráfico y ruido generado en Shopify mediante anuncios pagados para capturar la demanda que busca la marca en Amazon. Asimismo, plataformas como TikTok Shop y el marketing de afiliados se han vuelto indispensables, llegando a duplicar las ventas diarias en Amazon simplemente por la tracción generada. Frente a desafíos como la alta competencia por creadores de contenido calificados, José destaca la importancia de la creatividad operativa, desarrollando academias internas de afiliados y apoyándose en herramientas tecnológicas para optimizar los recursos. Finalmente, el invitado concluye que el factor determinante para pasar de gestionar tiendas a construir negocios millonarios es la autoconfianza y la determinación de convertir un producto en una solución real para el cliente.

In today's last episode of the week, we're focusing on two massive regulatory and legal updates that every freight broker needs to know! First, we are tackling the newly introduced REVOKE Act, a piece of legislation aimed at giving the FMCSA actual authority to crack down on chameleon carriers that exploit DOT registration systems to illegally operate.

The rate confirmation looks legit. The authority checks out. The email looks right. The money looks good. Then the freight disappears .... or you deliver it and nobody pays you. Freight fraud isn't just getting bigger. It's getting smarter. Stolen identities, fake carriers, double brokering, strategic theft and criminals who increasingly know exactly how to look legitimate long enough to get your truck .... or your customer's freight. On this episode of Brake Check, we're putting BOTH sides of the transaction in the same room. Jason Schaftlein, General Manager of McLeod Express, breaks down how a real carrier decides which brokers deserve its trucks, the red flags that kill a load, what five-truck fleets can verify themselves, what it really costs to operate compliant equipment, and what happens when legitimate carriers compete against bad actors. Then former Chicago Bear and Bear Down Logistics President Desmond Clark takes the broker's chair. What does a broker actually verify before trusting a carrier? How do legitimate small fleets avoid getting treated like criminals? How fast should brokers pay? What does running actual equipment teach a broker? And yes .... we go straight at BROKER TRANSPARENCY. Then comes the question underneath this entire mess: How the hell did freight build a system where carriers don't trust brokers, brokers don't trust carriers...and criminals learned to exploit BOTH? No fluff No conference-panel answers Just two people sitting on opposite sides of the freight transaction explaining who they trust, who they don't, and WHY. If you're a carrier, owner-operator, freight broker, dispatcher, 3PL, shipper or fleet owner, watch this before you book your next load. Because the paperwork can look perfect.

The CFO Who Didn't Care About a 35% Return Rate

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 2, 2026 26:21

Kyle Bertin thinks the industry has the returns conversation backwards. His company, Two Boxes, builds software for the section of the fulfillment center nobody wants to walk into, and his argument is that returns are an inventory management problem. He calls it the least optimized inventory pool most merchants own.The math he runs uses a hypothetical $100 million apparel brand. A 25% return rate sends $25 million of GMV back through the door, and at the 50% restock rate he sees in unoptimized operations, half of that never makes it back to full-price sale. Bertin says 80% restock is achievable across his customer base, which frees roughly $7.5 million of inventory and, after sell-through and gross margin, puts the net income impact between $3 and $5 million. For context on what that means against a real P&L, public apparel brands have spent the past several quarters working to hold net margins in the low double digits.He also tells the story of a footwear CFO who looked at a 35% return rate a few years ago and said, directly, that he did not care. At the time the reasoning held up. He was buying at under 20% COGS out of Vietnam, bringing it in duty-free under the Section 321 de minimis exemption, financing inventory in transit at close to zero interest, and answering to investors who rewarded growth over profitability. Bertin takes each of those conditions apart in turn, which is his explanation for why the inbound started as a trickle in 2023 and hasn't slowed.We also get into what has to change on a 3PL warehouse floor, where AI is doing real work in returns processing and where it isn't, the new Radial partnership, and Bertin's claim that only about 5% of returned items are genuinely unsalvageable.This Watson Weekly interview is sponsored by Radial.#watsonweekly #supplychain #returns #inventorymanagment

The rules of global e-commerce are changing—and brands built around shipping every order across borders are being forced to rethink their fulfillment strategies. In this episode of Supply Chain Decoded, Jenni Ruiz sits down with Phil Rees of Shipmax International to unpack how tariffs and changes to de minimis thresholds are accelerating the shift toward localized fulfillment. Phil explains why placing inventory closer to the customer is becoming increasingly important—and why finding the right 3PL requires much more than a quick Google search or the lowest quote. They discuss: - How tariff changes disrupted the traditional direct-to-consumer model - Why brands should localize their highest-performing products first - The operational, commercial, and cultural factors that define a strong 3PL partnership - How smaller brands can find right-sized fulfillment providers - Why the cheapest supply chain option often becomes the most expensive - How AI, automation, and robotics are reshaping logistics and the future of work From international fulfillment and inventory strategy to AI-powered productivity, this conversation explores what brands and logistics providers need to consider as supply chains become more localized, automated, and complex. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.

Scale or Fail: Navigating Trade Volatility for Emerging Brands with Laura Ritchey

In "Scale or Fail: Navigating Trade Volatility for Emerging Brands", Joe Lynch speaks with President and CEO of the Americas region of GEODIS, Laura Ritchey, about how emerging brands can navigate trade volatility, manage inventory, and build scalable, resilient supply chains. About Laura Ritchey Laura Ritchey joined GEODIS in July 2025 as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Americas region. Laura is responsible for overseeing the region's freight forwarding, contract logistics and transportation business units along with engineering and technology, IT, ProVenture (U.S.-based subsidiary of GEODIS focusing on industrial real estate) and Material Handling Resources (one of the country's leading material handling distributors owned by GEODIS). In total, Laura oversees GEODIS Americas' expansive operations including nearly 20,000 employees and more than 230 sites across eight countries. Laura brings over 30 years of experience to GEODIS, with 15 focused on supply chain management in both retail and third-party logistics. Laura began her career in finance before transitioning to supply chain operations, including sourcing, distribution and strategic transformation. Prior to her current role, Laura was most recently CEO at Radial, Inc., a leader in e-commerce fulfillment solutions, where she drove revenue growth and profitability through operational excellence. At Radial, she led the North American P&L for a $1.4B e-commerce logistics division, responsible for relationships with over 170 clients across four service lines. Before joining Radial, she held leadership positions at L Brands, FullBeauty Brands and Centric Brands. Laura is on the Dean's Advisory Council at Fisher College of Business at The Ohio State University and is an active board member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's Nashville Branch. Additionally, she is actively involved with C200 whose mission is to inspire, educate, support and advance current and future women leaders. Laura earned her J.D., MBA and bachelor's degree from The Ohio State University. Additionally, Laura is accredited as a certified public accountant and admitted to the bar in Ohio. About GEODIS GEODIS is a leading global logistics provider acknowledged for its expertise across all aspects of the supply chain. As a growth partner to its clients, GEODIS specializes in four lines of business: Global Freight Forwarding, Global Contract Logistics, Distribution & Express Transport, and European Road Network. The Group operates a global network spanning nearly 170 countries and 48,000 employees. In 2025, GEODIS generated €10.6 billion in revenue. GEODIS is a company owned by SNCF group. Key Takeaways: Scale or Fail: Navigating Trade Volatility for Emerging Brands Beware the "10K Order Trap" During Rapid Growth: Scaling operations from 1,000 to 10,000 monthly orders often breaks a business before demand stalls. Emerging brands must build strong foundational supply chain building blocks early—such as maintaining clean master data (accurate dimensions and weights) and choosing a 3PL capable of global growth—to avoid costly operational failures when reaching inflection points. Adopt a Hybrid Inventory Strategy to Balance JIT and JIC: Shifting strictly between "Just in Time" (JIT) and "Just in Case" (JIC) risks either stockouts or trapped working capital. A balanced, hybrid approach—keeping adequate stock of fast-moving core basics while tightly controlling slow-moving seasonal items—helps protect cash flow without sacrificing availability. Re-evaluate the "Amazon Effect" and Recommerce to Protect Margins: High-speed, free shipping creates an illusion of necessity that drives up last-mile costs. Brands should focus on order delivery certainty over pure speed while implementing circular economy strategies (recommerce) to rehabilitate and resell returned apparel, which often recovers up to 95% of inventory value. Mitigate Sourcing Risks Beyond Single-Factory Bets: Diversifying supply chains requires going all the way back to raw material inputs rather than simply relocating assembly plants. Navigating evolving global tariffs requires nearshoring flexibility, dual-sourcing critical SKUs, and re-orchestrating supply chain flows across regional hubs. Understand True Landed Costs to Avoid Margin Shock: Delegating freight forwarding and customs clearance entirely to overseas manufacturers often leads to hidden markups and supply chain delays. Leveraging an end-to-end global provider with licensed customs brokerage capabilities ensures clear visibility into total landed costs and regulatory compliance. Leverage Global Scale with Curated, End-to-End Execution: Supported by a global network spanning nearly 170 countries, over 48,000 employees, and €10.6 billion (USD $12.35 billion) in revenue (2025), GEODIS provides emerging and established brands with an agile, end-to-end "launchpad for global growth" across contract logistics, freight forwarding, and transportation. Avoid the "Set It and Forget It" Supply Chain Mindset: Ongoing volatility, regulatory shifts, and geopolitical friction require continuous evaluation of supply chain networks. Taking a cautious, practical approach to emerging technologies like AI (for labor forecasting and route planning) ensures operational stability while safeguarding proprietary data.

From RFID to Physical AI: Giving Everyday Assets a Digital Identity

Next Level Supply Chain with GS1 US

Where did an item go, what happened to it along the way, and is it still in the condition a customer expects? In this episode, Reid Jackson chats with Amir Khoshniyati, Vice President at Wiliot. Amir explains how Wiliot describes physical AI for everyday assets: battery-free tags can give products and containers a digital identity, while Bluetooth Low Energy connections capture signals such as location, motion, temperature, humidity, and light exposure. That information can help teams see what happens between facilities where traditional tracking can lose sight of an item. The discussion also covers how physical AI can work alongside RFID, barcodes, QR codes, existing readers, ERP systems, and warehouse management systems rather than forcing companies to replace prior technology investments. Amir shares five core use cases—departure, receipt, condition, location and cycle count, plus visibility into reusable transport containers, and explains why food, grocery, CPG, automotive, logistics, healthcare, and 3PL operations are strong candidates for this approach. Looking ahead, Amir sees lower tag costs, broader deployments, and assets that may one day communicate with one another. For supply chain teams, the bigger idea is simple: better item-level data can support earlier decisions when products are delayed, misplaced, exposed to the wrong conditions, or headed to the wrong destination. In this episode, you'll learn: How physical AI can track an item's location and condition across the supply chain Why lower tag costs could expand item-level visibility across more industries How condition history can add context that inventory data alone may miss Things to listen for: (00:00) Introducing Next Level Supply Chain (03:23) Wiliot's physical AI platform for everyday assets (05:00) From IoT and ambient IoT to physical AI (09:01) Filling supply chain data blind spots (10:17) Brownout spots between facilities and in transit (12:26) Five core use cases for item and container visibility (14:48) Where Wiliot sees adoption across industries (18:05) How physical AI can coexist with RFID, barcodes and QR codes (22:10) Interoperability, standards and building on existing investments (25:01) What supply chains could look like over the next five years (29:52) Condition-aware perishables and product safety questions (31:54) Amir's favorite technology (32:41) What Amir wants to learn next Connect with GS1 US: Our website - www.gs1us.orgGS1 US on LinkedIn Connect with the guest: Amir Khoshniyati on LinkedInVisit Wiliot at https://www.wiliot.com/

#298: Pt. 2 Courage, Clarity and Confidence with Your Money

The Boutique Workshop Podcast

Welcome back to the Inventory Genius Podcast! In last week's episode, my client Rebecca said something during our raw, unscripted chat that completely stuck with me: she talked about finding Courage, Clarity, and Confidence through the Inventory Genius program. That phrase resonated with me so much that I knew we needed a Part 2 to dig deeper into the nuts and bolts. Facing your business numbers isn't just a math problem—it's an emotional journey. In this episode, I break down what it really takes to transform your relationship with money and walk through the "3 C's" framework, sharing real client stories for each step along the way. Key Takeaways & What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why Courage Must Come First: You can't buy courage or find it in a budgeting app—it's a decision to take the very first step and look at your numbers, even when you can't see the whole staircase. How Clarity Arrives: Financial clarity doesn't happen before you do the work; it comes through the work. It accumulates layer-by-layer like compound interest. The Power of Real Confidence: True confidence isn't "faking it till you make it." It's earned evidence from taking action, leading to better pricing, smarter decisions, and faster momentum. Real Client Success Stories: How "Mary Jane" went from over $1M in debt to turning her entire business around. How Sarah found the clarity to keep, restructure, and scale her business instead of selling it. How "Susie" gained the confidence to move her product to a 3PL, double her subscription box subscribers, and boost profitability. Episode Breakdown: Introduction: The origin of Part 2 and why the podcast is always 100% real, raw, and unedited. The 1st C: Courage: Facing the emotional math problem of money and overcoming the urge to avoid your numbers. Client Story (Courage): Mary Jane's story of tackling $1M+ in debt and massive payroll by taking one courageous step. The 2nd C: Clarity: Uncovering your financial picture, spotting patterns, and building a consistent operational rhythm. Client Story (Clarity): Sarah's story of using financial clarity to decide whether to sell or keep her growing business. The 3rd C: Confidence: How clarity builds evidence, accelerates outcomes, and changes how you negotiate and price. Client Story (Confidence): Susie's story of stepping out of her home, outsourcing to a 3PL, and doubling her subscriber count. Key Wrap-Up & Encouragement: How Courage → Clarity → Confidence works continuously to empower you as a business owner. Memorable Quotes: "Courage in your finances doesn't mean having it all figured out. Courage means taking that first step when you cannot see the whole staircase." "Clarity does not show up before you do the work. Clarity comes through the work." "Confident people take better financial action, and better financial action creates better financial outcomes."
