In today's episode, I’m joined by Atilla Widnell.

Attila is the Founder and Managing Director at Navigate Commodities.

Navigate Commodities monitors commodity supply chains in real time through the use of satellites. This means they know what size stockpiles are in any yard at any time.

They can monitor production at steel mills, analyse metal flow in specific regions, and so much more.

In the show, we talk about why this info is helpful, how to stay ahead of the curve, how to use this info to make better decisions. Is this even legal? And so much more.

In today’s episode we talk about:

• Using data to drive decision-making
• Embracing technological change
• Why satelite data is so powerful
• Staying ahead of the curve
• If this data is legal
• And much more!

WHO IS STU KAGAN ANYWAYS?

25 years in the metal recycling game and still learning and growing...

I learnt from the best and worked my way up from yard labourer to Executive Director of Trading and Operations for the largest metal recycler in sub-Saharan Africa. Responsible for 4,500 employees, 85 sites, and the overall profitability of a multi-billion dollar operation.

I brought my breadth and depth of knowledge to bear and co-founded the fastest growing, most-loved, and most awarded metal recycling company in New Zealand. No small feat in a country where people are outnumbered 4:1 by sheep (spoiler alert: sheep don’t produce much metal waste).

I thought it was time that tech worked for our industry, so I took all of my experience as an operator and trader and leveraged that to build THE killer scrap app, Buddy. That’s right - built for scrappies, by scrappies.
