In a recent episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, Soapbox CEO Danny He joined host Tom Raftery to talk about a challenge that’s holding back even the most tech-forward supply chains: disconnected data and workflows. While the market is flooded with dashboards, AI tools, and visibility promises, Danny argues that real progress comes down to something much simpler and more foundational. Most supply chains still rely on siloed systems that don’t communicate. That means outdated, manual processes continue to drive overproduction, waste, and rising operational costs.
During the conversation, Danny explains why true end-to-end visibility requires integrated, real-time data that spans the entire supply chain ecosystem including 3PLs, transport partners, and beyond. Without this connective tissue, sustainability and efficiency goals remain just out of reach.
One overlooked opportunity is tackling overproduction. It often represents 5–25% of inventory, leading to not just emissions and waste, but also tied-up cash flow and missed demand signals. If you've ever dealt with aging stock, limited inventory visibility, or systems that just don’t talk to each other, this episode hits close to home.
Tune in to hear why solving these challenges isn’t about more tech, it’s about smarter integration.
