The supply chain business is ever-changing based upon the current needs of logistics customers, and SMC³ has an array of technology solutions in the pipeline to meet new demands and needs. SMC³ creates these products after listening to the entire supply chain constituency – shippers, carriers, 3PLs and other logistics stakeholders — to gain a true industry perspective.

Jump Start, a three-day supply chain conference produced annually by SMC³, aims to facilitate meaningful knowledge transfer and collaboration among logistics and transportation professionals. There are five simple reasons every shipper, carrier, 3PL, and logistics and supply chain professional should attend the conference.

JLL’s Walter Kemmsies is an expert in global trade and economic trends. During the Jump Start 2019 supply chain conference, he is slated to talk with the audience about the evolution of NAFTA and the overall state of the international economy. To prepare for his panel, SMC³ caught up with Kemmsies to discuss globalization and the domestic logistics industry.

Jeff Heller, vice president of intermodal and automotive at Norfolk Southern, is one of the speakers for the Jump Start 2019 supply chain conference, which will take place January 28-30 in Atlanta. He recently spoke with SMC³ about the impact the tight trucking capacity market is having on the intermodal industry.

SMC³ curates its supply chain conferences with a uniquely qualified roster of logistics experts, transportation analysts and critical thinkers. From the most trusted leaders to newcomers that are changing up the LTL game, Jump Start 2019 includes a diversity of voices to make sure attendees leave with a holistic picture of the supply chain.

SMC³ works with some of the leading service providers in the supply chain industry, giving them the tools to optimize their LTL operations. Frank Hurst, president of Roadrunner Freight, recently spoke with SMC³ about how the company uses its logistics technology products and how the carrier views innovation.
