Ebook

How shippers operate when forecasts stop helping, with the APLL field manual for moving closer to origin, building the data layer, and putting AI to work.

How shippers operate when forecasts stop helping. Uncertainty is now an operating condition, and a software platform on its own does not turn a decision into physical movement.

More data, yet less certainty

In a February 2026 Indago survey of 29 supply chain and logistics executives, 62% said uncertainty is higher today than it was 3 years ago. Most also said they have complete information only half the time or less when making high-impact supply chain decisions.

Inside the e-book

  • A letter from Thad Bedard, President of APL Logistics
  • The view from the Port of Los Angeles from Gene Seroka, Executive Director
  • The case of a seasonal retailer
  • The APLL field manual: move closer to the origin, build the data layer to support the forecast, and put AI to 3 specific uses
