Great back and forth among our faculty students and industry leaders on hot topics and applied Supply Chain research. We debated the impact of AI on supply chain software development as well as the future of the Supply Chain tech stack. We heard about cutting edge research in Applied AI and Autonomy in Supply chains. It was fast and furious!

Big moment for us at International Supply Partners, LLC! WSB-TV Channel 2 Atlanta featured us—not once, but twice to discuss tariffs and how they’re impacting supply pricing. In the first segment, they visited our warehouse, where I spoke about the ripple effect of tariff increases and what it means for businesses and communities. The most recent update covers the 90-day pause in the trade war. While that brings temporary relief, it still raises a big question of 'what’s next?' For small businesses like ours that rely on global sourcing to keep shelves stocked and operations smooth, uncertainty is a real challenge. To this effect, we’ve been taking proactive steps to support our clients like sending early stock alerts ahead of potential hikes (which a few clients have already taken advantage of). And we’ve got more strategies in motion, which I’ll be sharing at our upcoming Agate MayDay Event. Hope you can join the conversation by registering here: https://zurl.co/E0mWJ Huge thanks to WSB-TV Channel 2 Atlanta for continuing to spotlight the challenges and the resilience of small business leaders. #SupplyChain #Tariffs #SmartSourcing #WomenInBusiness #SmallBusinessLeadership #BusinessResilience #LogisticsMatters #ProcurementStrategy #GlobalSourcing #BuySmart #ManufacturingMatters #SmallBusinessVoices #MayDayEvent #ISP #SupportSmallBusiness

Georgia Tech study confirms Savannah is Atlanta’s best gateway. Independent research shows routing Asia cargo through the Port of Savannah delivers lower costs, greater reliability, and comparable transit times versus West Coast ports. Georgia Ports’s terminal velocity and inland network give shippers a faster, more predictable path to Georgia and the Southeast marketplace.

Are you paying attention to the right lanes, the right technology, and the right relationships in this freight market? In this episode, I break down why the Atlanta–Dallas lane remains one of the most stable in the country, holding between $1,350 and $1,450 with predictable seasonal spikes, and what that means for freight brokers managing tight margins! We also dig into how AI in freight brokerage is becoming a profitability driver, with companies like C.H. Robinson automating up to 90% of manual tasks to scale efficiently in a down market, how regulatory enforcement and falling carrier profits could trigger capacity exits and support higher rates, why fleets are slowing expansion, and how disciplined brokers can win. Don’t miss out on learning why mentorship from proven freight professionals is critical to avoiding costly mistakes and staying competitive over the next 12 to 24 months!
