How much do you know about the FLOW program? In a truly enlightening conversation with Texas Department of Transportation's Erika K. Kemp, PMP last week, I learned how this initiative, started during Covid, is absolutely crucial to a healthy supply chain and disinflation. In basic terms, FLOW is a real time snapshot of the movement of goods into and out of the USA. This snapshot allows companies and government to proactively address supply chain issues, so we don't end up in the kind of bottlenecks we did during Covid. Pretty neat, huh? I thought so. And what's more, major companies like Walmart, Target, The Home Depot and Nike, as well as logistics providers like C.H. Robinson, FedEx and UPS are all involved. The potential for FLOW to fix so many problems is huge. This, I reckon, is a story worth telling and I'm hopeful of assembling a panel based on FLOW and collaborative delivery networks at Move America. What would you ask such a panel?

Logistics experts warn that attacks on shipping in the Red Sea are severely disrupting supply chains, impacting Europe's manufacturing and retail sectors. Most container ships, usually sailing between Asia and Europe, are rerouting from the Suez Canal to the Cape of Good Hope, adding up to two weeks to travel times and causing irregular arrivals at European ports. This shift is creating significant challenges for shipping companies and their customers, leading to production delays in various industries, with potential inventory shortages for retailers like one of my favourite discounters, Pepco, mentioned in this article in the FT. Shipping lines are also imposing surcharges to cover the costs of these diversions. Some companies, particularly in the food and retail sectors, are considering alternatives like air freight to mitigate delays. Yet again we see the vulnerability of global supply and the importance of a cognitive supply chain. By deploying our own cognitive supply chain, we reduced supply chain costs by $160 million and built in more resilience and agility.
