What if your supply chain isn’t underperforming, you just can’t see it clearly enough? Cost, service, and emissions all suffer when logistics data is fragmented.

In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain podcast, I’m joined by Constantine Komodromos, founder of VesselBot, to explore a problem hiding in plain sight: most companies still don’t have a single, real-time view of their logistics operations. And in a world of tariff shocks, geopolitical disruption, and rising pressure around sustainability and resilience, that lack of visibility is no longer a technical nuisance. It’s a strategic risk.

We dig into why historical averages and patchy reporting can distort transport decisions, and why better data visibilitycan change far more than emissions reporting. You’ll hear how granular, shipment-level insight can uncover outdated contracts, low truck and container utilisation, and operational waste that quietly drives up both cost and carbon. We break down why supply chain resilience increasingly depends on seeing cost to serve, time to serve, and emissions to serve in one place, not across disconnected systems and spreadsheets.

You might be surprised to learn that some of the biggest wins don’t come from grand sustainability initiatives at all, but from spotting simple inefficiencies hidden inside day-to-day logistics. This is a conversation about sustainability, yes, but also about risk, decision-making, and the competitive advantage that comes from finally seeing your operations as they really are.

🎙️ Listen now to hear how Constantine Komodromos and VesselBot are challenging old assumptions about supply chain resilience, logistics visibility, sustainability, and data-driven decision-making.

Interestingly, the sharpest twist in this episode is that better emissions data turns out to be less about reporting, and more about exposing management blind spots.
