It’s a wrap! As season five of Unboxing Logistics concludes, Tim Ranagan and Lori Boyer look back at the issues that mattered most to ecommerce and operations teams this year. They revisit the standout conversations on peak season, AI, cross-border shipping, and rising costs before sharing what listeners can expect in season six.Season five’s big ideasMuch of season five centered on two ideas that kept surfacing across conversations: cost awareness and the human element. Lori noted that several experts described teams “not always sure and [not having] visibility into where they might be losing their money.” At the same time, even the most technical discussions pointed back to people and how real teams work, reinforcing that logistics decisions only succeed when the human side stays front and center.A major theme—dealing with uncertaintyAlmost every guest emphasized how much uncertainty logistics teams are managing right now. And while that can be scary, it’s also exciting.Lori describes the moment as “a stage that’s primed for opportunity and creativity,” especially for companies looking to close cost gaps or adopt new technology. What’s coming in season sixBig things are in store for next season! Lori shares that season six will feature a new carrier series designed to help businesses understand “where different carriers might fit well for your particular business model.” Additionally, listeners can expect even more human-centered conversations and timely discussions tied to industry events.LinksConnect with Lori on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/loribboyer/ Connect with Tim on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-ranagan-mba-2717bb125/ Visit EasyPost’s website: https://www.easypost.com/
