Changes in consumer expectations and buying behaviors driven by the “Amazon effect” have caused supply chains to become more reactive.  Now, more than ever, supply chains must be adaptable, reliable, and transparent in order to meet the needs of shippers and their end consumers. Join us for our March luncheon at the Downtown Club (Houston Center) where Greg Price, CEO, from Shipwell Inc., will provide direct insight on how Shipwell is leveraging visibility, machine learning, AI, and prescriptive analytics in their platform to help combat the challenges facing the industry.

Cloud technology and end-to-end supply chain visibility have the power to connect and up level the entire ecosystem which will ease the problems of port velocity, reducing congestion and demurrage cost while increasing supply chain efficiencies through a reduction in waste. 

Port delays have dramatic effects on just in time distribution systems. The lack of visibility and thus control mitigates the ability of the manufacturer or shipper to manage inventory, distribution, and transportation costs. Digitalizing supply chains and creating reliable data intelligence is creating the opportunity to better track and manage supply chains, prevent delays, bringing better customer experiences, and cost management functionality.

Greg Price is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of SHIPWELL, a logistics organization in Austin, Texas. He holds a Masters degree in Engineering and Business from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he spent seven years creating hardware, software, and algorithms for the United States Department of Defense.  As a McKinsey & Company consultant he has broad experience leveraging advanced analytics and machine learning to drive impact and address issues crucial to running world-class supply chains across Consumer-Packaged Goods, Retail, Manufacturing, and Oil & Gas platforms. 

His ambitious initiatives have enabled his Fortune 100 clients to realize 500M+in savings and earnings. Price founded SHIPWELL to be a trans-formative influence in the supply chain industry. He has replaced opaque, manual processes with a tech-enabled, fully connected logistics ecosystem supported by multiple carrier partners. Together with his team of industry experts, he has built a platform using machine learning to analyze over 100 million rows of real-time data each day, reducing waste and friction, delivering better business intelligence, and driving continuous improvement across customer supply chains.
