Carl Lauron, Founder and CEO of BuyCo, is a passionate innovator in the supply chain space, dedicated to solving the persistent challenges faced in global container shipping. With over 200 million containers moved annually, inefficiencies and rising concerns like CO2 emissions demand smarter solutions—something BuyCo delivers through its collaborative, automated shipping platform. Designed for exporters and importers managing large volumes, BuyCo streamlines operations, enhances visibility, and reduces costs across the supply chain. Guided by strong values and a digital-first mindset, Carl is all set to share his insights on How Much Does it Cost to Build a Resilient Container Supply Chain?
He will share his views on why supply chain resiliency has become a critical mega-trend, especially in light of recent global disruptions like COVID-19, the Suez Canal blockage, the war in Ukraine, and volatility in container availability and freight rates. In container logistics, resiliency means diversifying networks and partners—but with that comes increased complexity in coordination and management. He will explore what it truly costs to build a resilient supply chain and the essential tools needed to manage that complexity effectively. This evolving space demands speed and adaptability, with citizen developers and low-code/no-code platforms playing a key role in accelerating digital transformation.
