Hosted by CPA and presented by Pedrom Rejai, president and founder of Elevate Growth Partners, this session walks through the big shifts happening in supply chains right now and what they mean for copackers, comanufacturers, brands, and retailers. You'll leave knowing which trends actually affect your operation, what the winners are doing, and what's crashed and burned.
Learning Objectives

- Identify what the winning companies are doing and what experiments have failed.
- Discuss how technology is changing the back-office labor equation and why the operations implementing it correctly are pulling ahead.
- Learn where custom-built systems have become affordable for mid-size operations, with real-world examples of what they cost and deliver.
