Over the past few weeks, I’ve been heads down with my team preparing for the State of Logistics Innovation Summit.

As we sit here at T-1, I can’t help but pause and appreciate the depth of conversations that have shaped every session.
 
We’re unpacking the questions that matter as we head into 2026.
Where fulfillment is really headed as customer expectations rise, cost pressures intensify, and operational complexity becomes the norm.

Why AI cannot succeed without context, grounded data, and a clear operational problem to solve.

How distribution models are shifting: toward more flexible capacity, smarter orchestration, and networks built for volatility, not stability.

And what “intelligent logistics” actually means when you strip away the buzzwords and focus on measurable outcomes. Bringing these insights forward has been a privilege and a reminder that this industry is changing faster than most organizations are ready for.

Tomorrow’s discussions are just the beginning, but I hope the perspectives shared on stage (and the snippets we publish afterward) spark new thinking for the year ahead.  

I’m grateful to all the speakers joining us and bringing their experience into the room: Ninaad Acharya, Tom Schmitt, Jeff Wolpov, Marv Cunningham, Nima Elyassi-Rad, Patrick Nikoletich, Cullen Sanderson, Rajashekar Arutla, Amanda Dorenberg, Nizar Trigui, Catarina Carvalho, Ben Emmrich, Chris Somerville, Rahul (RD) D., Bill Gibson, Swapnil Khopkar
 
So here’s my question to you: technologists, operators, and supply chain leaders: What are your top 3 priorities for 2026?
 
I’d love to hear what’s rising to the top of your list.

State of Logistics Innovation Countdown Post _ 1 Day To Go

It’s easy to think digital transformation fails because the tech wasn’t right.
But more often, it’s because the data wasn’t.

I’ve been part of enough transformation projects to see the same story play out.
The enthusiasm is high. The new systems are in place. But the data, the thing holding it all together, isn’t clean, consistent, or shared.

And that’s where the problem starts. Teams make decisions on half-truths. Visibility drops. People stop trusting the numbers.

Strong governance gives structure without slowing people down. It keeps everyone aligned while the work keeps moving.

At Fulfillment IQ, that’s what we focus on first. Because without that alignment, even the best tools can’t deliver what they promise.

If you’re in the middle of a transformation and things feel stuck, it might be time to look at your data foundations.

Let’s talk about what you’re seeing.
