Event Recap
Empty container repositioning is one of the most pressing—and expensive—challenges in global logistics today. With over $15 billion spent annually on this invisible juggle, it’s high time we moved beyond spreadsheets and guesswork.
Watch this insightful webinar recording as Jean Herbiere, Chief Data and AI Officer at TetriXX shared how professionals like you—logistics managers, freight forwarders, and supply chain experts—can uncover smarter, data-driven ways of handling container flows.
What You’ll Learn:
Global Imbalances Uncovered: Understand why containers keep ending up in all the wrong places.
Optimization Tactics That Work: Effectively balance supply and demand by leveraging predictive analytics and implementing strategic repositioning plans through advanced modeling techniques.
Technology in Action: See how specialized software and platforms can be used to simulate various repositioning scenarios, enabling rapid analysis and streamlined execution.
Real-World Impact: Evaluate how optimized repositioning strategies directly boost efficiency in supply chains and reduce costs.
Let’s make “empty” containers a thing of the past and reposition the way you make decisions!
