    How WiseTech Is Compounding Advantages Across Global Trade

    For three decades, WiseTech Global has been quietly powering the movement of goods around the world, but the biggest transformation in the company's history may still be ahead. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton and Wiley Jones are joined by Zubin Appoo, Chief Executive Officer at WiseTech Global, Australia's largest ASX-listed technology firm and the world's leading logistics, supply chain, and global trade technology company. Together, they explore what it truly means to build digital infrastructure for the global supply chain, from customs brokerage and freight forwarding to the full end-to-end trade lifecycle following WiseTech's landmark acquisition of e2open. Zubin draws on nearly 25 years of experience, including 15 foundational years at WiseTech and seven years leading social purpose businesses, to make the case for being AI-first rather than AI-assisted. He also unpacks how decades of proprietary data, combined with large language models, are enabling WiseTech to solve problems that were previously out of reach, faster and more powerfully than ever before. Zubin also shares the leadership philosophy that has guided him across every role: reward success, reward failure, punish inaction. It's a mindset built for an era where the pace of change demands bold experimentation, deep problem-solving, and the courage to challenge assumptions that have gone unquestioned for years. Jump into the conversation: (00:00) Intro (01:56) About the enterprise unleashed series (06:50) Zubin's background & career journey (08:24) What Zubin loves most about being CEO (11:13) What WiseTech does for the world (15:18) Big opportunities for a global supply chain infrastructure company (20:48) WiseTech's acquisition strategy & AI-powered domain expertise (25:27) Embedding AI Into core workflows (31:43) Deploying AI at global platform scale (40:11) Experimentation culture: reward success, reward failure, punish inaction Additional Links & Resources: Connect with Zubin Appoo: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zubinappoo/Connect with Wiley Jones: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wileycwjones/Learn more about WiseTech Global: https://www.wisetechglobal.com/Learn more about Doss: https://www.doss.com/Learn more about CargoWise: https://www.cargowise.com/Learn more about e2open: https://www.e2open.com/Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/aboutLearn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.comWatch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-nowSubscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/joinWork with us!

    In this episode of The Buzz, we break down rising cargo theft, global supply chain disruptions, and the growing gap in AI readiness—plus what it all means for leaders trying to stay ahead—welcome to The Buzz, powered by DOSS! Hosts Scott Luton and Yaseen Ahmid break down major forces shaping today’s supply chains—from geopolitical disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and its ripple effects on fuel, fertilizer, and costs, to a surprising gap in AI readiness where most employees can’t apply what they’ve learned. Joined by Danny Ramon, the conversation dives into the rapid rise of cargo theft, how increasingly sophisticated criminal networks are exploiting digital systems and documentation, and why high-demand goods are more vulnerable than ever. This episode delivers clear, real-world insight into where supply chains are most exposed right now—and what leaders must do to stay ahead. Cargo theft is rising fast—with continued double-digit growth and increasing sophisticationCriminal networks are exploiting digital gaps, paperwork fraud, and fragmented systemsHigh-demand, easily resold goods (electronics, food, clothing) are top theft targetsGlobal disruptions (fuel, fertilizer, shipping routes) are driving widespread cost increasesAI training is falling short—most employees can’t apply it to real workflowsVisibility—not just technology—is the key to reducing supply chain riskEconomic pressure and global instability are accelerating both disruption and theft If you want to understand where supply chains are most vulnerable right now—and how to stay ahead of rising risk, disruption, and complexity—this episode is a must-listen.

    Uncertain Times, Skittish Consumers, and the Impact on Shipping Costs

    Speed has long dominated the conversation in shipping, but today’s reality tells a different story. In a volatile and unpredictable environment, success comes down to smarter decisions, not just faster deliveries. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton and Tevon Taylor are joined by Lori Boyer, Head of Content Marketing at EasyPost and host of Unboxing Logistics. Together, they break down what’s really driving shipping challenges today, from fragmented consumer demand to rising costs hidden in accessory fees, packaging inefficiencies, and routing decisions rather than just carrier rate increases. The discussion highlights how demand has become less predictable, with promotion-driven spikes creating operational strain and forcing reactive, costly decisions. At the same time, customer expectations have shifted. Cost, reliability, visibility, and accuracy now matter more than speed, pushing companies to rethink how they design their shipping strategies. Lori also shares how leading teams are responding by improving visibility, aligning service levels with customer needs, and using AI to support faster, data-driven decisions. This episode offers a practical look at how organizations can reduce costs, adapt to uncertainty, and build more resilient and efficient shipping operations. Jump into the conversation: (00:00) Intro (07:08) State of consumer demand (10:07) Rising costs and volatility (16:02) Do customers really value speed?

    The Buzz: From Data to Decisions—Why Execution Wins in Today’s Supply Chain

    In this episode of The Buzz, we unpack the latest manufacturing signals, leadership priorities, and the growing impact of AI—plus a candid look at corporate jargon and why clarity matters more than ever—welcome to The Buzz, powered by DOSS! Hosts Scott Luton and Billy Ray Taylor dive into March manufacturing data showing modest growth and improving job trends, while also highlighting ongoing cost pressures and global disruptions. From there, the conversation shifts to what’s really on the minds of business leaders today—uncertainty, decision-making challenges, and the widening gap between strategy and execution. This episode delivers practical, real-world perspectives on how organizations can move forward with confidence. Key Learnings & Takeaways: Manufacturing momentum is steady—but fragile with growth signals tempered by inflation and disruptionToday’s labor market = “low hire, low fire” driven by uncertainty and hesitationAI isn’t transforming your business—it’s exposing it (data gaps, inefficiencies, misalignment)Execution beats strategy—most companies don’t fail from bad plans, but poor follow-throughKPIs vs. KPAs—why actions (not just metrics) drive real performanceCorporate jargon can damage performance by masking clarity and weakening decision-makingGreat leadership = clarity, standards, and accountability, not buzzwords Bottom line: In today’s complex environment, leaders who prioritize execution, clarity, and honest communication will separate themselves from the pack—and drive real results.
