Session Summaries
Gain Efficiency and Safety Through Supply Chain Visibility and Location Intelligence
Keeping track of transportation assets and providing customers with reliable, accurate status information is critical in the highly competitive B2B and B2C shipment delivery market. Additionally, it’s imperative to maintain operational efficiency and a safe working environment for your teams while making those deliveries. Regardless of the industry or geographical area your company operates in, comprehensive and granular location intelligence combined with user-friendly execution platforms can give you the tools needed to attain these goals.
Key Takeaways
- Visibility and geo-location awareness of your supply chain assets is the foundation for world-class delivery performance
- Private custom mapping of your facilities using advanced location services increases operational safety and enhances your ability to meet high customer expectations
During this conversation, Glympse and HERE Technologies will also share concrete examples, and highlight other areas and industries, where location technology can help unlock your competitive advantages.
Speakers:
- Cami Zimmer, Chief Business Officer, Glympse
- Charlie Maynard, Senior Manager of Industry Solutions, HERE Technologies
Finding and Filling Gaps in Supply Chain Talent
When it comes to gaps in the supply chain, there is usually a direct connection to a company’s most important asset… their people.
Effective supply chain management relies on technology, processes, data and analytics, and we cannot forget the people behind the scenes that drive continuous improvement and excellence. Navigating market shifts, change management and achieving growth goals is much more difficult if a company does not have the right people in the right seats on their bus.
The CSCMP is excited to bring you this dynamic discussion that will be led by CS Recruiting, a third party recruiting firm that specializes in the Supply chain and Logistics industry. They will be joined by other industry expert panelists to discuss how these talent gaps can affect your business and how to identify the skills and resources you might be missing on your team. We’ll dive into proven recruiting and retention strategies and offer guidance on how to manage your hiring strategy to position your team for the next level of success.
