Why do AI pilots fail in supply chain? New survey data from 215 supply chain leaders points to a root cause: no business case, no governance, no accountable owner.

Five Questions That Predict Whether Your WMS Implementation Will Succeed
WMS implementation failure usually traces back to five questions nobody asked. Brian Carlson of Cornerstone Edge explores what separates the projects that work from the ones that need rescuing.
What Two Decades of Tuning a TMS Route Optimizer Teaches About Autonomous AI Hype
Read enough industry coverage right now and autonomous AI sounds like a settled outcome: robots in warehouses, agents running freight networks, a shrinking workforce to match. For most shippers today, that isn’t the operating reality, and nothing in the current generation of tools points to it becoming the reality next year either.
What Buyers Need to Understand Before They Invest
When an intelligent capability influences a technology decision, its requirements matter as much as its functionality.
WMS Implementation Isn’t Optional Anymore—Here’s Why
Ask anyone who’s run a warehouse for the last twenty years and they’ll tell you the job used to be simpler. Receive inventory. Pick orders. Ship them out. The systems supporting that work matched the simplicity of the work itself. That era is over, and it isn’t coming back.
TMS Implementation Doesn’t End at Go-Live
TMS implementations rarely fail because of the software. More often than not, internal factors, such as organizational readiness challenges and resource constraints, are to blame.
Integration Is Not IT’s Problem: Why Logistics Leaders Must Own the Operating Model
As an implementer of logistics technology for 30 years, one very consistent thread surfaces looking back – logistics functional leadership consistently views implementation as an IT delivery task, instead of actively designing an operating model that delivers upon their own desired outcomes.
Where Go-Live Risk Hides in the Project Timeline
The project timeline may show that key activities are planned or complete, but that doesn’t mean the business is ready to own the process, support users, or operate through real exceptions.
The Implementation Plateau: Why TMS Initiatives Often Fail to Reach Their Full Potential
When a TMS fails to reach its full potential, the root cause is rarely the software itself. It is almost always a failure of operational reality.
