Description:

In this episode, we discuss why e-tendering is important to your supply chain and new e-tendering technology. We look at how the internet of things (IOT) is impacting ocean carriers and Karl's prediction of Amazon being a 3PL is one step closer to happening. Finally, we discuss some NFL free agency news - we thought we could cold turkey football for a few months but didn't happen.
