Rene Alvarenga, Senior Director of Product Management at Kaleris, joins Everything is Logistics at Manifest to discuss the visibility illusion plaguing modern supply chains.
Backed by data from a report with maritime research firm Thetius, the conversation explores why terminals think they’re delivering visibility—and why shippers overwhelmingly disagree.
Topics covered:
• Why vessel ETAs change up to 15 times
• The 30 percent software usage problem
• How digital friction kills execution
• AI’s $315 billion impact on freight jobs
• What it takes to bridge the visibility gap
