Webinar Description

With business climates shifting across the country and across the globe, supply chains and their strategic partners exist in a constant state of flux—2025 will continue in the same vein, with some caveats to consider.

For existing manufacturers, distributors, and retailers seeking growth opportunities, now is the time to act. But yesterday’s focus, forecasting, inflows and outflows could change. The key to securing business wins is in your strategic partnerships. You’ve already done the work on the frontload: product ideation, design, material sourcing, and production. It could be the greatest thing since sliced bread. But without a trusted, vetted, and secure 3PL operations at your side, you could be “One heartbeat away from disaster,” says Schroeder.

We’ll be joined by Logistics & Fulfillment industry experts from WSI (Warehouse Specialists, LLC), one of the largest privately held 3PL companies in the country. They’ll share insights in the supply chain big-picture and detail what to consider in 2025 and how to select the right 3PL provider for your business today and tomorrow. What you will learn: 1. Value your 3PL as you value your own business because they are an extension of who you are 2. Cheaper is a short-term solution and the first step to a long-term problem 3. Find balance between growth and risk aversion and measure it often 4. Don’t leave your future to chance – set goals and parameters right now 5. Second-guessing efficiency is like second chances—you’ve created room for doubt
