Guest: Bindiya Vakil of Resilinc on managing supply chain risk in the wake of recent hurricanes; How companies can use their own big data; New research into green supply chains

Logistics Matters with DC VELOCITY

Our guest on this week's episode is Bindiya Vakil, CEO and co-founder at Resilinc. As the Southeast is continuing to recover from the double whammy of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, supply chains have recovered to bring goods to the affected areas and the people who need help. But what can we do to strengthen those supply chains and reduce future risk from the disruptions that widespread natural disasters like hurricanes can cause?

Companies are collecting lots of data about their operations and their supply chains. However, most are not using that data effectively. What can companies do to capture and take advantage of their own big data?

New research shows that regulatory compliance, tech advances, and consumer demand will spur 8% growth in eco-friendly warehousing and transportation services over the next 10 years. These trends continue to impact supply chain operations, as companies look to integrate electric vehicles into their fleets, use alternative fuels to power vehicles and facilities, and use more energy-efficient equipment and automation systems. We explore what is behind the numbers in the new research.
