Logistics Challenges: Time to Block, Tackle, and Win
November 20, 2025, 12pm eastern time
Time to huddle up! Join Scott Luton from Supply Chain Now as he sits down with Tanner Dastrup, Director of Logistics for Trove Brands, and industry veteran Shannon Vaillancourt, CEO of RateLinx. Getting in the game, they’ll line up to tackle the top shipping and logistics challenges for e-commerce and other businesses—covering everything, including:
- Limited shipping flexibility and lack of automated rate optimization—a fumble that drives up costs and hurts the customer experience
- Data and integration hurdles, from freight audit discrepancies to ERP/BI connections—blocking your ability to scale and see the field in real time
- Complex B2B checkout for LTL shipments, making it hard to call the right plays for carrier options and true costs
- Operational inefficiencies from managing dual warehouse/3PL workflows and inconsistent carrier selections—a misaligned offensive line slowing down the game
- Visibility gaps in international shipping, including container tracking, ocean rates, and reliance on forwarders—leaving your supply chain blind on the field
Learn actionable strategies to run the perfect logistics playbook, optimize shipping, reduce costs, and gain full visibility across your supply chain. Register now!
