Leading supply chain solutions provider, NFI, will be featured in a panel at the inaugural Lehigh University Center for Supply Chain Research Spring Symposium on April 7th along with artist supplies manufacturer, Crayola. NFI’s Vice President of Transportation Management, Jeff Kanterman, and Vice President of IT Client Services, Matthew Battista, will join Crayola’s Vice President of Global Logistics Services and Enterprise Improvement, Gary Wapinski, in a session titled “Leveraging Technology in Asset and Non-Asset Based Transportation.”
At this technology-themed event, the panel session provides insight into the opportunities technology presents to integrate asset and non-asset based transportation operations. Through the perspectives of a 3PL, NFI, and a shipper, Crayola, and moderated by Zach Zacharia, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Supply Chain Management and Director, Center for Supply Chain Research attendees will engage in a dynamic conversation covering technology’s impact on logistics and its capabilities to create visibility and synergy across the supply chain.
“Technology continues to shape trends in the supply chain,” said Kanterman. “When leveraged correctly, the right technology paired with an experienced supply chain solutions provider can generate visibility and provide efficiency like never before.”
“Additionally, technology makes it possible to connect data, enhance collaboration, and optimize solutions,” said Battista. “It can create more value within a supply chain and help shippers find synergies in their networks.”
