Where Distribution Margin Is Really Slipping and What to Fix First
May 7, 2026 — 12pm Eastern Time
A practical session for finance and operations leaders who need to identify where hidden cost, exception-heavy workflows, and weak visibility are putting margin under pressure.
- Understand where margin leakage starts across inventory, fulfillment, and shipping
- Learn why freight is often the symptom, not the root cause
- Get a practical framework to decide what to address first
Why Attend:
Distribution teams are getting orders out the door, but margin is still taking a hit.
This session is designed for finance and operations leaders who are seeing issues like:
- freight costs remain high even after rate reviews
- inventory is technically available, but orders still require split shipments, rework, or expediting
- teams are spending too much time managing exceptions instead of running clean workflows
- service issues continue even when the operation appears to be under control
- finance sees the margin impact, but the root cause is not always clear
What looks like a shipping problem is often the downstream result of upstream decisions across inventory, fulfillment, and order execution.
How to Reduce Freight Spend Without a Full RFP
May 19, 2026 — 12pm Eastern Time
Shippers want savings now—but launching a full RFP is time-consuming, resource-heavy, and disruptive. Shannon Vaillancourt, CEO of RateLinx, and Kim Reuter, supply chain veteran with decades at Amazon and Nordstrom, know there’s a better way: actionable, data-driven insights that uncover savings without disrupting your operations.
In this practical, interactive livestream, our experts will show you how to:
- Identify hidden costs across carriers, modes, and accessorials
- Optimize your carrier mix and routing using clean, unified data
- Realize 5–15% in transportation savings in weeks—not months
You’ll also hear an anonymized case study of a shipper who avoided an RFP and unlocked 8% savings while improving service levels in under 30 days.
Scott Luton, host at Supply Chain Now, will guide the conversation, keeping it practical, engaging, and full of real-world insights. Whether you manage parcel, LTL, TL, or multimodal shipments, this session will give you the tools to cut freight spend now—without the headache of a full RFP.
