27 | The One With the Logistics Wake-Up Call (Part 2)

In Part 2 of our logistics mini-series, Lara gets tactical: how a simple carton optimization project can save ~$2/order, why 3PL SLA audits beat “surprise fees,” the no-bloat visibility stack (AfterShip + clean exports/Sheets), and the playbook for disruption-proof routing (split ports, split forwarders). We wrap with what’s next: nearshoring (MX/LatAm) and AI-driven logistics for predictive tracking and auto-rerouting. If you want faster, cheaper, calmer ops, start here.
