Webinar Description

Five years after the peak of supply chain disruption, retailers and wholesalers are facing a new challenge: tech bloat. In the rush to adapt, companies adopted a patchwork of point solutions—many of which now sit idle, redundant, or worse, draining resources and slowing operations.

In this candid webinar, we’ll explore the hidden costs of fragmented tech stacks and the unintended consequences of overdependence on siloed tools. Learn how leading brands are moving away from unnecessary platforms and embracing unified strategies that drive efficiency, flexibility, and performance across the supply chain.

Join us for a no-holds-barred conversation on how to break free from tech overload and reclaim control.
 

What you will take away:

  • Identify signs of tech bloat in their supply chain operations and understand its impact on cost, efficiency, and responsiveness.
  • Evaluate and prioritize which point solutions to deprecate by assessing redundancy, performance, and long-term ROI.
  • Learn from industry leaders and cross-industry examples how others are successfully addressing tech overload and modernizing their tech stacks.
  • Understand the pros and cons of build vs. buy when it comes to orchestrating last mile delivery and omnichannel fulfillment.
  • Explore strategies for simplifying and unifying their tech stack to improve end-to-end performance, adaptability, and customer experience.
