If you've ever asked “Where’s my container?”—this episode is for you. 

Rene Alvarenga, Senior Director of Product Management at Kaleris, breaks down why visibility is still one of supply chain's biggest unsolved problems. 

Backed by data from a new report with maritime research firm Thetius, this conversation unpacks the massive disconnect between what terminals think they’re delivering and what shippers actually experience.

Key takeaways: 

• 87% of terminals think they offer great visibility—but only 25% of shippers agree. 

• In some regions, vessel ETAs change up to 15 times, causing mass disruption. 

• Most companies only use about 30% of their logistics tech capabilities. 

• Solving for visibility starts by improving your execution—not adding new tools.
