Vine Line logistics got its start in 2008 moving produce from the west coast to the Midwest. As customers asked for more, they continued saying, “Yes, we can.” That started them on a digital transformation journey that brought them into a meaningful relationship with Turvo.

Vine Line President Steve Lyons credits his company’s significant expansion and success over the past year to Turvo. When Vine Line outgrew its TMS and needed a solution to bring its carriers and shipper customers onto one platform, they turned to Turvo for help. Turvo enables real-time collaboration for expedited services and a superior customer experience.

In this episode, created in collaboration with a live Supply Chain Now audience, Steve and Shawn Barker from Turvo join hosts Greg White and Scott Luton to share How Turvo’s cloud-based SaaS TMS:

-Replaced expensive in-house servers and maintenance with a less costly, scalable cloud-based infrastructure

-Doubled Vine Line’s carrier network in just one year

-Drove significant growth in all key metrics including revenue, loads, loads per day, and profits

-Delivers regular new features which their previous TMS rarely released

-Enables flexible integration

-Drives four times the contractual business with one of its largest customers

-Will help launch new managed transportation services

In 2022, most supply chain leaders are primarily focused on improving working capital as a way to combat inflation.

Inventory positions are increasing as purchases are now cheaper than they will be 6 months from now… at least in theory. This perception and the actions it drives are putting further strain on an already overly taxed supply chain.

In this Supply Chain Now livestream episode, Scott Luton and Greg White were joined by Dan Reeve and Nick Carpenter from Esker and Dr. Morgan Swink from TCU to explore how digital technology can help you improve your company’s working capital - and where on the balance sheet to look for improvements:

• How today’s supply chain challenges are also affecting each company’s suppliers and customers

• The extent to which companies are purposefully managing their cash flow v. allowing external forces to dictate their choices

• What Dr. Swink and his team at TCU learned from recent research into working capital practices and outcomes

On July 27th, the Senate passed the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. It is now awaiting President Biden’s signature. Proponents of the bill say it will reduce U.S. dependence on foreign producers of semiconductor chips by building manufacturing capabilities at home. Skeptics – which oddly include both progressive Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and conservative Republicans – say it amounts to “corporate welfare.” So who is right?

The CHIPS in the CHIPS Act stands for ‘Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors.’ But are the incentives, and the resulting changes, actually “Helpful” for the U.S. semiconductor industry?

In this Dial P for Procurement crossover episode, Kelly Barner digs into the global semiconductor market and talks about some relevant considerations not covered in the language of the legislation:

• What’s in the bill?

• What can and can’t be done with the funding?

• Why has U.S. semiconductor manufacturing capacity has been falling since the 1990s?

• How long will it take to see the benefits?

• And issues like sustainability and intellectual property that still have to be resolved before this bill can achieve the ultimate vision.
