In this engaging podcast, Carlos Centurion, President of River Logic, sits down with Lee Devasier, Vice President of Logistics and Network Strategy at Pitney Bowes, to delve into the intricacies of mastering value chain optimization and the ongoing business transformation journey.

Pitney Bowes, a global commerce company, embarked on this transformation eight years ago, triggered by an acquisition that brought an existing parcel processing network into focus. The discussion revolves around key questions: Are facilities in the right locations? Are they the right size? Does the network connectivity meet the necessary criteria for cost control and service expectations?

Lee highlights the crucial role of a detailed digital representation of Pitney Bowes' value chain, which includes thirteen facilities, third-party transportation, and decision-making processes for insourcing versus outsourcing. This model empowers them to optimize the network, leading to the closure of legacy facilities and a central node, resulting in increased profitability.
