Welcome to Logistically Speaking and we are just three guys talking logistics. Logistically Speaking was born out of interest and Intrigue around all the technological advances within logistics and supply chain management. We found that there was a lack of podcasts examining the intersection of tech, logistics, and eCommerce. The three of us are passionate about the interaction between these three areas specifically. In the coming days and weeks, we hope to address some of the current events that go along with new technology and items of interest within the logistics and eCommerce space. We are among the few the proud that are interested in the subject of logistics and with our diverse backgrounds in logistics and on each episode we will look at relevant developments in this space.
