As Chagrinovations, a consumer goods invention company, was on the verge of expanding from D2C sales into nationwide retail and marketplace channels, its existing 3PL provider ended the relationship, citing the company’s small size. The transition created an immediate need for a logistics partner capable not only of supporting existing fulfillment operations, but also of scaling alongside an increasingly complex and diverse business.

The next time two of your trucks could both cover the same load, pay close attention to how that choice gets settled.

What does shipment “visibility” really mean? Depends on where the shipment is.

CSCMP and SupplyChainBrain have announced the winner of the 2026 Supply Chain Innovation Award.

Join HERE Technologies, DCSA and AWS to explore how trusted data, industry standards and predictive intelligence can move supply chains beyond visibility toward proactive orchestration. 

The best delivery plan rarely survives first contact with the real world. Traffic, delays and last-minute changes can quickly create a gap between what was planned and what drivers must manage on the road. The result is missed delivery windows, inefficient operations and the same disruptions repeating day after day.

With transportation and logistics operations focused on delivering products and services to specific locations, parts of the industry will always be physical in nature. But what’s now disrupting the sector more than anything are digital forces, from AI-driven automation to increasingly volatile global trade networks.

Truck drivers used to see an in-cab camera pointed at them and assume it was there to catch them. That assumption is flipping.

Transportation Under Pressure applies the Born at the Dock standard to a transportation market exposed to volatile fuel prices, tightening carrier capacity, regulatory change, labor constraints, and regional disruption. Its central argument is that shippers cannot control the next external shock, but they can reduce the internal exposure that determines whether that shock becomes a manageable cost increase or an operational crisis.
