In this episode of The New Warehouse Podcast, Kevin chats with Alex Ramirez, CEO and co-founder of Cognitops. They discuss why warehouse data decision-making often fails the people who need it most. Ramirez draws from years spent on warehouse floors, not conference rooms, to explain how operators are overwhelmed by dashboards, reports, and status updates that don't help them act in real time. Cognitops changes that reality. The conversation explores why most warehouses are “data rich and decision poor,” how decades-old WMS thinking still shapes modern systems, and why context and time matter more than static metrics. Ramirez also shares how Cognitops helps operators turn data into decisions that drive flow, improve productivity, and reduce chaos when plans inevitably break down.Learn more about The Brecham Group here.

Key TakeawaysAI use cases: At Insight Works, Hamblin explains that AI is leveraged in three main ways: to enhance internal business process development, to create higher-quality marketing content, and to enhance product offerings.Product specifics: Hamblin shares how AI is streamlining Shop Floor Insight, a product of Insight Works, by automating labor time validation, eliminating the need for supervisors to manually review time cards through exception-based logic and rules. Further, AI and agents are enhancing production scheduling by analyzing millions of decision points, identifying issues, and providing real-time insights or alerts, paving the way for innovative, user-driven automation through tools like the Agent Playground.Adoption: Hamblin notes the mixed reactions to AI adoption. While AI can rapidly deliver solutions, such as building a container management system in hours, it ultimately enables employees to focus on higher-value work, helping businesses scale without increasing headcount. However, AI-related change management can be complex, as capabilities evolve dramatically within months and future advancements are unpredictable. This uncertainty poses challenges for change management.AI advancement: Now, AI excels at processing large datasets and answering natural language queries, and its capabilities have advanced dramatically compared to a few years ago. Previously, it could build applications like a WMS mobile app in minutes, but today's technology is far more powerful and sophisticated. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

In this episode of the SaaS Sessions podcast, Sunil Neurgaonkar sits down with Jigar Dafda, Chief Technology & Product Officer at Fynd, to unpack how AI is fundamentally reshaping e-commerce in India.From conversational commerce and hyper-personalization to autonomous back offices and AI-driven customer support, this conversation cuts through the hype to explain what's actually changing, what's overblown, and what founders must build for if they want to survive the next decade of commerce.Key Takeaways -1. Commerce Is Shifting From Interfaces to Conversations-Traditional storefronts and search-driven UX are being replaced by conversational buying surfaces.- SEO is giving way to GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) as ChatGPT-like interfaces become the new entry point.- Merchants will still own fulfillment and data—but discovery will increasingly happen outside their websites.2. Hyper-Personalization Is No Longer Optional—It's Infrastructure- Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) are the backbone for AI-driven personalization across online and offline channels.- AI enables real-time personalization without armies of data scientists or analysts.- The real win isn't better targeting—it's higher conversion with less customer effort.3. Dynamic Pricing and Forecasting Are Moving Into the Back Office- Pricing, inventory planning, and demand forecasting are becoming autonomous systems.- Decisions that once took days (via SQL and dashboards) now happen in real time.- AI shifts teams from “executors” to “validators” of system-generated decisions.4. Customer Support Is the Lowest-Hanging AI Opportunity- 60–80% of customer queries are repetitive and easily automated.- AI agents now deliver 24/7, multilingual, context-aware support at scale.- The real challenge is no longer conversation—it's clean integration across OMS, WMS, and logistics systems.Lightning Round Insights:- Fastest way to learn today: Use ChatGPT as a personalized tutor—summarize, question, and iterate.- Hardest leadership lesson: Systems are easy. People are not.- Founder advice: Build for where the market is going, not where it is today—today's solution will expire faster than you expect.About Fynd:Fynd is one of India's leading unified commerce platforms, powering brands across online, offline, marketplaces, and quick commerce. From storefronts and PIM to OMS, WMS, and omnichannel integrations, Fynd enables end-to-end retail operations on a single stack.Chapters:00:10 – Introduction00:50 – Jigar's decade-long journey at Fynd05:20 – AI before vs after ChatGPT08:10 – Conversational commerce & GEO13:40 – Hyper-personalization and CDPs19:40 – Dynamic pricing and demand forecasting30:30 – AI in customer support37:20 – Predictions for the future of e-commerce39:40 – Lightning roundVisit our website - https://saassessions.com/Connect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sunilneurgaonkar/

En la entrevista de Vida Digital con Stephanie Gaviria, se presenta el lanzamiento de Toys R Us en Panamá, destacando su estrategia de e-commerce personalizado y omnicanalidad para familias panameñas. Alex Neuman explora cómo la marca combina retail físico con digital, aprovechando la nostalgia y tendencias locales en una temporada navideña clave.​Toys R Us suma el comercio electrónico como canal complementario al fuerte brick-and-mortar panameño, permitiendo compras desde casa, pick-up en tienda y experiencias fluidas. La personalización es clave: la plataforma reconoce al usuario por edad, gustos y perfil para mostrar contenido relevante, con guías de expertos locales como pediatras o psicólogos. Esto diferencia de gigantes impersonales, integrando chat en vivo y picks panameños para sentir un Toys R Us local.​Se curaron más de 70 marcas globales con input de expertos de 1.500 tiendas Toys R Us y conocimiento latino-panameño. Consideran nostalgia millennial, cultura regional, padres estimulantes (colores y aprendizaje), neutrales (sin pantallas) y el auge de "kidults" coleccionistas. El resultado equilibra tradición y tendencias para diversos perfiles familiares.​La plataforma usa Shopify como base intuitiva, integrada con Servientrega, SAP Business One para facturación y WMS automatizado en bodegas. Esto soporta entregas rápidas desde un hub de 20.000 m² en Zona Libre para 27 mercados regionales, haciendo rentable el e-commerce en Panamá pese a su tamaño. Futuras integraciones como AirOps personalizarán landings desde ads, evolucionando dinámicamente.​Stephanie obsesiona con omnicanalidad: canales que "hablan" entre sí, reconociendo al cliente en web, app, tienda o móvil con carritos sincronizados. Diferencia de multicanal; planean CRM, lealtad (2026) y tech como Alipay para unificar datos. Desmiente falta de cultura e-commerce en Panamá citando apps locales; el reto es inversión para 24-48h entregas.​Tiendas físicas son "lugares de juegos donde se venden juguetes", emocionando padres con Babies R Us para madres primerizas (registros, charlas). Productos híbridos como globos terráqueos con app promueven conexión familiar sin aislar. Enfocan juego para unir generaciones, no eliminar pantallas.​Rescatan "donde un niño puede ser niño", con Geoffrey donando a Fundación Obsequio de Vida vía Soho Mall. Mensaje: el juego importa para recuerdos, risas y niño interior en 2025-2026.Enfoque del E-commerceSelección de MarcasTecnología y LogísticaOmnicanalidad y RetosExperiencia y Tiempo de PantallaLegado y Cierre

In this inaugural episode of Confessions of a Supply Chain Executive, host Chris Walton teams up with Richard Stewart (EVP of Product & Industry Strategy) and Eugene Amigud (Chief Innovation Officer) from Infios to conduct a forensic deep dive into retail's most persistent challenge: out-of-stocks. Despite billions spent on technology, the average retailer still faces an 8-10% out-of-stock rate. But here's the truth most won't admit: the problem isn't getting better. It's just getting different. This episode walks through every breakdown point in the supply chain, from forecasting failures to the infamous backroom problem, and delivers a practical framework to diagnose what's really happening inside your operations.

When it comes to connecting warehouse systems, few companies are tackling the challenge as directly as TrackStar. In this episode of The New Warehouse Podcast, Kevin chats with Jeremy Schneck and Daniel Langer, Co-Founders of TrackStar, about how they're simplifying integrations across the fragmented WMS landscape. The discussion explores TrackStar's journey from a startup pivot to a Y Combinator-backed company, the growing role of APIs in supply chain connectivity, and how universal APIs are driving the next wave of warehouse innovation.Learn more about Endpoint and give Gary a break here.

In "Orchestrating Chaos: Lully's Take on the Top Warehousing Challenges", Joe Lynch and Mike Myers, the Founder and CEO of Lully.ai discuss how to supercharge existing Warehouse Management Systems with bolt-on algorithms for labor and cost savings. About Mike Myers Mike Myers is the Founder and CEO of Lully.ai, a bolt on technology that allows warehouses to ship more orders on time, with fewer resources, using the equipment, capabilities, and systems you already have. Mike's career has included roles at a large apparel brand, multiple national 3PL leaders, and finally a automation firm focused on autonomous vehicles. Mike describes himself as "obsessed with warehouses," and it shows! About Lully.ai Lully.ai helps customers drive both cost and labor savings, by leveraging a combination of simple operating rules and world-class algorithms, all available via API. Their approach enables you to supercharge your WMS without the typical pains of technology integration. Lully's focus is on making the work easier for the team on the floor; less travel, fewer location visits, better utilized equipment. The end result is happier employees and bolstered bottom lines. Key Takeaways: Orchestrating Chaos: Lully's Take on the Top Warehousing Challenges The "Orchestrating Chaos" Philosophy: Warehousing challenges are framed not as insurmountable problems, but as "chaos" that can be "orchestrated" using smart, targeted technology. The core message is that efficiency is found in harmonizing existing equipment and processes, rather than in complete overhauls. Supercharge, Don't Replace (The "Bolt-On" Approach): Lully.ai's solution is a "bolt on technology... available via API." This takeaway emphasizes that warehouses can achieve massive optimization by supercharging their existing WMS without the typical high-cost and painful technology integration, making advanced algorithms accessible and fast to deploy. The Dual Bottom Line Focus: The solution directly addresses the two critical pressures in logistics: driving both cost and labor savings. The algorithms are designed to improve the financial bottom line while simultaneously tackling the labor crisis by making floor work more efficient. Human-Centric Optimization: Lully.ai translates optimization directly into benefits for the floor team, leading to happier employees. Key improvements include significantly less travel, fewer location visits, and better utilized equipment, which reduces fatigue, increases accuracy, and improves retention. Experience-Driven Solution: Mike Myers' diverse background—which spans a large apparel brand, 3PL leaders, and autonomous vehicle automation—provides a unique, holistic, and deeply practical understanding of warehouse operations. This real-world expertise informs a solution that is grounded in operational necessity. The Algorithm/Rules Combination: The technology's effectiveness stems from blending "simple operating rules and world-class algorithms." This suggests that complex optimization is delivered via practical, easily adoptable rules, ensuring the technology is not only intelligent but also simple for floor managers and workers to implement. Maximizing Existing Assets (Capital-Light Efficiency): A major takeaway for warehouse leaders is that the solution helps ship more orders on time, with fewer resources, using the equipment, capabilities, and systems you already have. This focus on maximizing current assets offers a capital-light path to high-performance warehousing.

Nick from Aiometrix explains how agentic AI can automate busywork and boost results for Amazon brands. He began in a California garage with retail arbitrage, then expanded into wholesale and manufacturing during the COVID surge.

About Gather AI Gather AI is an intralogistics AI company which collects visual data from drones, forklifts, and connected machines, integrates it with warehouse management systems (WMS) and cloud platforms, and uses AI to identify issues and suggest next steps. Key Takeaways: AI Literacy in Logistics In “AI Literacy in Logistics with Gather AI's Andrew Hoffman”, Joe Lynch and Andrew Hoffman, CTO at Gather AI, discuss how artificial intelligence is transforming warehouse operations by using visual data from drones and other machines to identify issues, suggest next steps, and ultimately improve efficiency and accuracy. AI as a Co-Pilot, Not a Replacement: The podcast reframes artificial intelligence as a collaborative tool that amplifies human capability. Much like a calculator assists a mathematician, AI acts as a "co-pilot" in the warehouse, providing real-time data and insights that enable staff to work more efficiently and accurately. Demystifying Core Concepts: The discussion breaks down key industry terms, clarifying the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) (the broad field of intelligent machines) and machine learning (ML) (the specific technique of systems learning from data). It also defines computer vision as the ability of a machine to "see" and interpret a warehouse environment. Proven ROI and Real-World Results: The episode highlights a concrete case study with Stadium Goods, a customer of Gather AI. By using the company's solution, they increased inventory accuracy to over 99%, reduced "inventory shrink" from 2% to a fraction of a percent, and saved over $200,000 by eliminating manual counting. Actionable Insights from Data: The conversation explains that AI systems learn from data over time, allowing them to transform complex data queries into natural language questions. This helps warehouse staff make better decisions on the fly, such as locating a specific pallet or finding an empty space in an aisle. The Collaborative "Agent": The concept of an "agent" in AI is reframed from a technical term to a collaborative entity. Gather AI's system—the drone, software, and computer vision—works as a partner to the warehouse staff, providing the data needed for faster, more accurate decisions and freeing up employees for more valuable tasks. A Leader with a Track Record of Innovation: Andrew Hoffman's background as a founding engineer at two logistics robotics companies, both later acquired by Amazon, establishes his deep expertise. His journey offers valuable insight into the past and future of scaling technology in the supply chain industry. A Clear Path to Getting Started with AI: For listeners looking to begin their AI journey, the podcast recommends starting with a pilot project to solve one specific problem, such as cycle counting. It also advises seeking partners who offer a comprehensive solution and a clear path to return on investment, rather than just a technology.

Our guest on this week's episode is Manish Kapoor, founder and CEO of Growth Catalyst Group. Since we have passed the mid-summer mark of 2025, retailers are now focused on the next dates on the retail calendar – and that's back to school season. This is traditionally the second busiest season of the retail year. But like everything in supply chains in 2025, this year has not been normal. Our guest helps us find out how retail supply chains are coping and what we can expect over the coming weeks.A new industry-sponsored program is designed to inspire next generation of supply chain leaders. Girl Scouts of the USA and contract logistics provider DHL Supply Chain have launched the "Solutions Superstar" program to advance critical thinking and problem-solving skills for K-12 girls and to introduce them to supply chain careers. A modern distribution center or fulfillment center is often full of automation at many different levels. It might have robots like AMRs and AGVs, dense storage like an AS/RS, and software platforms like an ERP or WMS system. But often, each of those units operates by itself, or it takes orders from just one source, like the WMS software. And that can make it hard for them all to work together as a team. But lately, we've been seeing progress in the industry toward fixing that situation.  Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A new series has just started on Top Threats to our Supply Chains. It covers topics including Geopolitical Risks, Economic Instability, Cybersecurity Risks, Threats to energy and electric grids; Supplier Risks, and Transportation Disruptions  Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe and to listen to past and future episodes.

Send us a textSupply chain suites distinguish themselves from traditional ERP and analytics platforms by being specifically designed to meet the intricate needs of supply chain-intensive industries. These industries depend on tightly integrated processes that span forecasting, procurement, logistics, and fulfillment, requiring systems that prioritize supply chain performance rather than treating it as an ancillary function. Supply chain suites address this by offering a unified architecture that blends network planning, execution systems like WMS and TMS, and advanced analytics. This specialized focus enables organizations to enhance agility, minimize lead times, and build resilient, responsive supply chains. In this episode, our host, Sam Gupta, discusses the top 10 supply chain suites in 2025. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these supply chain suites. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each supply chain suite.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.

Send us a textThe Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) category occupies a distinct space within enterprise technology, serving supply chain-intensive industries like retail and manufacturing with capabilities that traditional ERP systems simply cannot match. While ERP platforms manage transactional processes, S&OP suites focus on high-level strategic planning, offering advanced tools for forecasting, demand-supply balancing, and inventory optimization. Built around core pillars such as planning, network design, and limited execution functionalities like WMS and TMS, these platforms are designed to support long-term, macro-level decision-making. Increasingly, modern S&OP solutions are expanding into “connected planning,” integrating with HR, financial planning, and retail functions to create a unified planning ecosystem. When evaluating S&OP systems, factors like market positioning, product roadmap maturity, investor backing, and industry fit become crucial, as each platform brings its own strengths depending on architecture and planning philosophy. Selecting the right solution hinges on understanding how well it aligns with your organization's complexity and strategic goals.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 S&OP systems in 2025.
