As the market for talented employees continues to tighten, company leaders must develop creative ways to keep great employees (and even the good ones) from leaving.

Warehouse Management and OptimizationHelix - Senior Director Global Supply Chain
As more retailers lose market share to e-commerce companies, brands and original equipment manufacturers will need to strengthen their supply chain and become more connected, get closer to the consumer, to lower costs, ensure on time delivery and capture as much of the marketplace as possible. To do so companies need to understand their true costs, have visibility into network inventory, use the right tools for inventory and freight optimization and deliver on their promises to end consumers. All this is possible with strategy, connectivity, visibility, and strong partners and systems.
Key Take-Aways:
Planning for the real customer- end consumer, is different than traditional planning for retail marketplace. E-planning is reinventing inventory optimization.
Ensure that all your supply chain partners invest in systems, provide visibility and create a combined data strategy with shared KPIs.

Diversity in the logistics network and supply chain, with strong partners will help brands service the consumer better, faster and cheaper ensuring no loss of market-share to online retailers such as Amazon.

Supply Chain Strategies to Increase VisibilityFlexport - Senior Director, General Manager - SE Region
Technology in the logistics industry has the potential to transform the supply chain with structured data and achieve end-to-end visibility into all operations. However, supply chain decisions are frequently made with very fragmented data – consumers have increasingly higher demands as retailers attempt to optimize inventory and capital allocation, while having limited shipment tracking and SKU-level visibility to understand the holistic picture of their supply chain.
