Phillip Lechter of CXT Software talks about challenges in last mile; building a people-first culture; & how they're helping customers grow, compete & thrive. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [05.45] How CXT innovated over the past 25 years to meet the changing needs of an evolving logistics landscape. “25 years is a long time in the software space!… In maturation of software, it's easy to want to 'set it and forget it', and live off the benefits. But you can't do that today. Supply chain is changing so rapidly, and our focus is on innovation, connectivity, and our ability to make it easy for our clients to do what they want to do - and not be hamstrung by the business we've created.” [09.13] Where CXT is now, what they do, and how they help their customers. “It's about making ourselves as configurable as possible to our clients... our ability to serve multiple workflows based on the business our clients are doing for their own customers.” [11.08] The ideal client for CXT. [13.25] From the uniqueness of workflows to real-time visibility, some of the biggest challenges in the industry right now, as last mile strives to catch up with changing consumer expectations. “Amazon has done some amazing things, but it's made it very difficult for the average courier service – everyone wants that Amazon experience… And that's the opportunity we have in the TMS space, to even the playing field.” [16.04] How CXT's white-labeled portal empowers clients with the tools they need, without a big costly investment, and how that ultimately drives customer loyalty and boosts satisfaction. “Too often we're in reactive not proactive mode. And the more we can streamline that, the more we can meaningfully create relationships with our clients.” [18.59] How CXT's shipment management technology supports operations teams across a range of functions, and a closer look at the user interface. “We're ensuring that a dispatcher still has the ability to make decisions, but some of the heavy lifting gets done for them. They're managing exceptions rather than every single element along the way.” “We see a ton of waste that's really low margin. Even a 1% increase in profit can be pretty significant in this type of business.” [24.30] The importance of driver management, and how CXT's app integrates with operational and client functions to tackle challenges, and drive efficiency, accountability and customer service. [30.19] Some of the key opportunities and growth areas CXT are supporting their customers with. [32.53] A case study showing how CXT helped a long-standing client enter the medical space and demonstrate a significant efficiency metric, and the importance of partnerships. [36.44] Why CXT consciously built a people-first culture, and what we can expect from them in 2025. “This business is a people business… We use software as a way to make efficiencies, but it's still somebody delivering to somebody else!” RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: Head over to CXT Software's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

Bill Catania of OneRail and Anna Farberov of PepsiCo talk all about their strategic partnership, how it works & the benefits it drives for Pepsi customers. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [03.42] Introductions to Bill and OneRail, and Anna and PepsiCo Labs. [06.22] Why PepsiCo reached out to OneRail to explore partnership opportunities. “They have the solution and we have the problem; they have an entrepreneurial mindset and can move fast, and we have the business expertise and deep industry understanding. And when we're able to feed that back, that's where the magic happens.” [06.48] The PepsiCo Labs model, and how the team proactively seek out companies to partner with. “We want to solve problems in the business versus having shiny toys, saying a lot of buzzwords and ticking boxes.” [08.52] The impact of their strategic partnership for PepsiCo and their customers, and OneRail's business. [11.24] From expanding capacity to maintaining service levels across different customer sizes, the business challenges PepsiCo were looking to solve. [12.19] How OneRail approached the relationship with PepsiCo. “It comes down to being a good listener… There have been a lot of operational changes that had to happen that weren't easy… But we've perfected the model.” [13.54] How OneRail worked flexibly with PepsiCo to achieve strategic alignment and become a true extension of their team. [16.19] The importance of transparency, and the ability to positively give and receive feedback, in building successful partnerships. [17.15] From an increased top line to improved customer experience, the benefits PepsiCo are realizing through their partnership with OneRail. “The vastness of PepsiCo is unbelievable! I get excited when I think about the path forward, because there are so many different things we can do together and problems we can solve.” [18.38] What 2025 is going to bring for the PepsiCo and OneRail partnership.

Bill Catania of OneRail talks about their recent Series C funding; collaboration with IBM Sterling®; & the challenges for retailers and wholesalers in 2025. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [06.46] An introduction to Bill, and how OneRail are empowering customers to design and execute their own brand of delivery solutions. “I love what we do – we're solving a shopper marketing problem with supply chain and logistics... We're helping our customers fulfil excellence at scale.” [09.57] OneRail's successful Series B funding round in 2022, and the exciting changes they implemented with this initial investment to position themselves for growth. [12.37] How OneRail are building on that growth with $42 million of Series C funding and an overview of the OneRail vision that this further investment will help propel them towards. “Venture capital for logistics and supply chain tech start ups has reduced by 90%. We just raised a Series C – a very difficult round under good circumstances – at a time when 90% of funding is gone. And there's only one way to recognize that – the team.” [18.32] OneRail's new partnership with IBM Sterling® Order and Fulfillment Suite, and how it aligns with Bill's vision for creating frictionless experiences. “We're trying to remove friction. When we look at the pandemic, there were a lot of point solutions, solving little pieces of the problem. And now we're seeing a lot of deprecation in some of those platforms, because they're not solving enough of the bigger problems.” [21.17] The customer benefits of the OneRail and IBM Sterling® collaboration. “The only way to build trust is repeatable success, and then you build a behavior, and then you build loyalty.” [26.20] Why OneRail built its own fintech platform expansion for freight audit pay and claims, how it helps customers and its pioneering place as the first solution in the market for this category. [31.49] The biggest challenges facing retailers and wholesalers in 2025. “Data siloes are what holds up optimization, but optimization is where the value is.” [33.32] With those challenges in mind, where retailers and wholesalers need to focus, and what they need to prioritize, for the year ahead. “A decentralized, fully interoperable solution is absolutely the future.” RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: Head over to OneRail's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

Our Monday episode featured a profile of Bill Catania, who grew up in the tri-state area and made a huge impact in the arena of digital couponing, and now is succeeding with his logistics firm OneRail.
ABOUT THE GUEST:Bill Catania is a seasoned entrepreneur and the Founder and CEO of OneRail, an omni-channel fulfillment platform that connects businesses with a vast network of 12 million drivers, optimizing last-mile logistics. Bill's impressive career spans multiple industries, with a focus on leveraging technology to solve complex business problems. He is recognized as a thought leader in logistics technology, having received numerous accolades, including being named a "Game Changer" by the Orlando Business Journal and winning the Supply Chain Leaders in Action Pitch Tank contest. Bill's previous ventures include MDOT, a pioneering enterprise software company that helped transform digital coupon redemption.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:[00:04:00] – Bill's early entrepreneurial ventures and the start of his career in enterprise software.[00:07:30] – The pivot moment for OneRail: transitioning from a tech-connected courier to an aggregated network platform.[00:16:00] – The complexities of aggregating courier networks and matching supply with demand in real-time.[00:20:30] – How AI and machine learning helped OneRail scale operations and manage thousands of deliveries daily.[00:28:00] – The acquisition of OrderBot and the future of OneRail's dynamic fulfillment capabilities.[00:31:30] – Bill's advice on raising capital and scaling logistics businesses through data optimization.QUOTES:[00:07:00 - 00:07:24] - "The logistics triangle is really about inventory, transportation, and consumer — and these three things must talk in real time to create a seamless delivery experience." – Bill Catania[00:16:48 - 00:17:31] - "The key to optimizing logistics is building density. With high-volume partners, you get density, and density leads to better optimization and economic advantage." – Bill Catania[00:11:00 - 00:11:30] - "If you think you have a good idea, just jump in and do it. The fact is, whatever you build initially isn't what will take you to the rocket ship — it will evolve. Avoid analysis paralysis and act." – Ninaad Acharya[00:22:34 - 00:22:59] - "We always work at the SKU level because inventory, transportation, and consumer data have to align in real time. Knowing item specifics allows us to optimize the entire fulfillment process." – Bill Catania[00:29:00 - 00:29:30] - "To achieve the 'Amazon experience,' you need real-time decision-making between transportation and fulfillment while the customer is still on the product page. It's about aligning inventory and transportation seamlessly." – Ninaad Acharya[00:14:00 - 00:14:29] - "You don't quit. You pivot, you tweak, and figure out where you can add value. In logistics, finding where you can provide the most value is what keeps you moving forward." – Bill CataniaFIND MORE ABOUT THE GUEST:LinkedIn: Bill CataniaWebsite: OneRailTwitter: @OneRailTech
Bill Catania of OneRail talks about inventory, visibility & shrinkage; empowering customers by normalizing data; & optimizing customer experience. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [07.07] An overview of OneRail, what they do, and how they help their customers. “Don't ever think of us like a parcel shipping solution! What we're doing is delivering in localized markets – think about turning a store into a warehouse, turning a warehouse into a localized delivery zone.” [07.52] The latest at OneRail, and some of the big challenges they're focusing on right now. “These days, you can't hear an earnings call from a retailer without hearing about product shrinkage – and about 65% of that is theft.” [08.38] Why inventory, visibility, and shrinkage – particularly related to theft – is a growing concern for retailers. “It was easy when it was single-channel commerce. But now there's so many different channels, so many different shipping options – customers have demands they didn't have before. When product starts to move more, there's more risk.” [10.03] The recent survey, conducted by OneRail, dives deeper into the problem of inventory and shrinkage. “Customers are counting on that product being at the store. But if it goes missing 500 miles ago, and the retailer doesn't know it, there's a mismatch in supply and demand. A lot of money goes into demand planning, and all that work goes out the window when items go missing.” [13.53] How OneRail utilized their findings to develop OmniPoint Inventory Visibility, a brand-new solution for their customers; and how it tackles inventory and shrinkage challenges. “When you look at what it takes to be competitive in 2024, you have to be operating from data.” [17.17] The ideal client for OneRail's OmniPoint Inventory Visibility solution. [1946] The challenges with data; the importance of empowering customers with the right data; and how OneRail is adding an extra layer that helps systems to connect and normalize data, helping retailers to make the right decisions. “An organization could be working with 50 to 100 couriers – all sending data in different ways, some of them aren't even sending data! – and we're normalizing that data layer, so they can make sense of it and decision on it.” [22.25] The opportunity to be found in achieving improved inventory visibility and optimizing customer experience. “Optimization is taking data and making iterative business decisions to reduce cost and improve experience.” [25.15] Why OneRail is moving up the order stream with delivery management solutions, and how they're helping customers to improve order decisioning and fulfillment logic. “It's so much more than visibility – it's the ability to actually change an outcome.” [28.02] A big announcement, and the future for OneRail
Amy Leachman of Delivery Solutions talks about the brand & what they do; ecommerce & the importance of omnichannel; and provider and solution diversification. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [07.58] How, and why, the ecommerce market has evolved so rapidly over the last few years; and the landscape of the industry in 2024. “COVID really shaped or accelerated the business… the need for last mile delivery, and how we think about true retail operations and technologies, has really morphed over the last four years.” [11.13] The challenges and opportunities that retailers are facing in the current climate; and the importance of keeping a close eye on cost and control. “COVID rushed everyone to say ‘I need to integrate here, there and everywhere!' So, looking at your tech stack, you then have 9, 10 different integrations for everything post-click. How do we simplify that – the cost and the maintenance it takes to uphold all of those API integrations – as well as keep the control?” [12.31] An overview of Delivery Solutions – who they are, what they do, and how they help their customers. “Delivery Solutions is a seamless omnichannel experience for everything post-purchase.” [16.34] Amy's background; how she moved from delivery service provider to technology solution provider; and why she's so passionate about the retail industry. [18.36] The ideal client for Delivery Solutions. [19.35] The importance of Delivery Service Provider (DSP) diversification; and how Delivery Solutions is helping customers to successfully manage their DSPs. “When you have different delivery partners across the board, not all of them will have the same value prop… each is going to provide a different technology solution, coverage, what they will and won't do… It's very important to diversify in order to make sure you're choosing the most cost-effective providers, and those that are hitting the right KPIs.” [23.43] What the diversification of delivery options means for clients, customers and the industry; and how collaboration allows all partners to achieve shared success. “It's coming together to simplify omnichannel, and to say: “we're all in this together.” We want to work with the delivery partners, with the shipping carriers; we want to make sure the communication is clean, concise and proactive. Because, the more the customer is buying and the more opportunities they have to interact with the brand, the more we all win together.” [26.33] How the Delivery Solutions team are helping clients to manage the balance between customer demand and expectation, and demanding sustainability goals. [28.48] A case study showing how Delivery Solutions helped a large retailer to drastically reduce its integrations – simplifying its tech stack, reducing costs, and increasing order volumes by 35%. [32.19] A closer look at onboarding and implementation, and how Delivery Solutions work with clients. [35.29] How Delivery Solutions use AI and machine learning to boost customer experience, improve communication, and help retailers make informed decisions for themselves. [37.51] The future for Delivery Solutions; and the omnichannel trends we should be looking out for in 2024 and 2025. “Retailers are going to continue to meet customers where they are, based on their buying habits and the ever-evolving technology solutions they can provide them.” RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: Head over to Delivery Solution's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

To learn more, visit OneRail.com. Key Takeaways: Retail Delivery Trends Matt Schultz is Vice President of Logistic Partnerships at OneRail, an Orlando-based last mile transportation visibility solution providing shippers with Amazon-level dependability and speed. In the podcast interview, Joe and Matt discuss retail delivery trends and OneRail's delivery fulfillment platform that has an integrated coast-to-coast courier network of 10 million drivers. 3 retail delivery trends discussed: The marketplace problem – the marketplaces that specialize in retail delivery and pick-up service (usually groceries) are not good for retailers because they: Define and own the customer relationship and all the data, instead of the retailer. Compete directly with the retailers and may entice customers to try other retailers. Charge fees that may cause the retailer to lose money on the transaction. Ownership of the customer, customer data, and the customer experience is increasingly important and retailers need a delivery partner that will consistently execute the retailers vision, while respecting the retailer's relationship with their customers. To provide the customer experience for both the shipper (retailer) and the customer, a technology orchestration platform is a must have. OneRail's orchestration platform connect shippers to vetted couriers in real time. OneRail provides 100% visibility into the delivery flow, but it's way more than a visibility platform. With the right mix of leading technology, dependable couriers, and a vigilant customer experience (CX) team, customers get the ability to change delivery outcomes in real time. The OneRail logistics platform is modular, with the flexibility to serve as a standalone platform or integrate with an existing TMS.

Americans love trains, but we need them to lose their goddamn minds. Post-pandemic a poll conducted by OneRail found that 64% of Americans "view public transit and passenger rail favorably." And what's not to love? You don't have to drive. It's safe. It's good for the climate. It's scenic, exciting, and memorable. So how can America make a train network that is a glory instead of one that would embarrass Bulgaria? We need people not just to see trains "favorably"—they need to pine for trains, dream about them, draw them, collect them, and brag about them. We need people to see trains when they close their eyes. That is train mania.Help us out and ...

Key Takeaways: Retail Delivery Trends Matt Schultz is Vice President of Logistic Partnerships at OneRail, an Orlando-based last mile transportation visibility solution providing shippers with Amazon-level dependability and speed. In the podcast interview, Joe and Matt discuss retail delivery trends and OneRail's delivery fulfillment platform that has an integrated coast-to-coast courier network of 10 million drivers. 3 retail delivery trends discussed: The marketplace problem – the marketplaces that specialize in retail delivery and pick-up service (usually groceries) are not good for retailers because they: Define and own the customer relationship and all the data, instead of the retailer. Compete directly with the retailers and may entice customers to try other retailers. Charge fees that may cause the retailer to lose money on the transaction. Ownership of the customer, customer data, and the customer experience is increasingly important and retailers need a delivery partner that will consistently execute the retailers vision, while respecting the retailer's relationship with their customers. To provide the customer experience for both the shipper (retailer) and the customer, a technology orchestration platform is a must have. OneRail's orchestration platform connect shippers to vetted couriers in real time. OneRail provides 100% visibility into the delivery flow, but it's way more than a visibility platform. With the right mix of leading technology, dependable couriers, and a vigilant customer experience (CX) team, customers get the ability to change delivery outcomes in real time. The OneRail logistics platform is modular, with the flexibility to serve as a standalone platform or integrate with an existing TMS.

Jeff Flowers and Joe Lynch discuss why inventory is everything. Jeff Flowers is the Chief Operating Officer of OneRail, a final mile delivery orchestration platform providing real-time visibility, actionable data, and data-driven optimization capabilities for its enterprise clients. About Jeff Flowers Jeff Flowers is the Chief Operating Officer for OneRail. Jeff's professional career began in accounting and finance roles within the Cable Television, High Speed Data and IPTV industry. Quickly moving towards his true passion of operations, Jeff spent 2006-2016 in various roles with the nation's largest building products Distributor, BlueLinx. In his last role at Bluelinx, Jeff was the General Manager of Metal Products Business Unit which generated $250M in revenue sourcing products from 17 different countries serving 18,000 SKUs to national, regional and local building products retailers. In 2016, Jeff partnered with Franklin Young to purchase PTI Security, a leader in Physical Access Control and with support from Source Capital, an Atlanta based Private Equity firm. While there, Jeff was the Chief Operating Officer of PTI where he served the teams that helped grow PTI to 72% market share and transform legacy diskette based software to a cloud based architecture with a leading electronic locking solution. When PTI was sold to HID Global in 2019, Jeff was fortunate to be offered the position of COO and CFO by Bill and Lisa Catania with OneRail where he serves the teams that work to implement, onboard service our customers as they leverage OneRail to productize end-to-end delivery fulfillment in order to create a leading competitive advantage. About OneRail Headquartered in Orlando, Florida, OneRail was founded in 2018 by Bill Catania, a serial entrepreneur from the FinTech world, and his wife, Lisa Catania. OneRail is a final mile delivery orchestration platform providing real-time visibility, actionable data, and data-driven optimization capabilities for its enterprise clients. OneRail's cloud-based “delivery switch” simplifies same-day and on-demand delivery execution by connecting the demand signal (POS, eCommerce, ERP) with an ecosystem of delivery networks and internal fleets, in real-time. The result of OneRail's centralized view of disparate final mile data enables data-driven optimization, positively impacting the dependability, speed, and cost of final mile fulfillment. Key Takeaways: Inventory is Everything Jeff Flowers is the Chief Operating Officer of OneRail, a last mile delivery solution that reduces delivery times and costs, while providing 100% visibility and a responsive customer experience. In the podcast interview, Jeff explains the importance of effective inventory management to supply chains. Inventory is tricky – buy too little and miss out on potential sales, but buy too much and your carrying costs rise. Managing inventory is very difficult and even the best firms have stumbled recently and it impacted their quarterly earnings. Below are some threats to successful inventory management that Jeff and Joe discussed: The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) contract expires on July 1. The ILWU is a labor union which primarily represents dock workers on the West Coast of the United States, Hawaii, and in British Columbia, Canada. The ILWU represents more than 22,000 workers at 29 ports and a strike would be a huge disruption to already brittle supply chains. With supply and demand becoming very unpredictable during Covid, many companies, particularly retailers, found themselves with too much of the wrong inventory and not enough of the right inventory. Jeff and his team at OneRail partner with many brands and retailers to eliminate or greatly reduce these problems. Inventory placement and excess inventory are big problems that omni-channel retailers face. Companies can meet these challenges by partnering with OneRail. OneRail use technology, data, and a marketplace of transportation options to greatly reduce costs, while improving the delivery experience. OneRail's comprehensive 4-in-1 delivery fulfillment solution combines leading technology with a coast-to-coast courier network, a skilled 24/7 Exceptions team and a micro fulfillment labor force to solve last mile logistics more comprehensively than any other solution in the space. OneRail provides 100% visibility into the delivery flow, but it's way more than a visibility platform. With the right mix of leading technology, dependable couriers, and a vigilant customer experience (CX) team, customers get the ability to change delivery outcomes in real time.
