International selling is no longer the barrier it once was, with global commerce expanding faster than ever. Businesses are growing across borders quicker than their compliance infrastructure can keep up. They’re selling into new countries, shipping internationally, and facing a patchwork of constantly evolving customs duties, changing import taxes, and VAT obligations. Recent regulation and policy changes like the US’s elimination of di minimis and EU customs reform, have brought a new level of disruption and confusion for shippers and sellers. The result is a gap between how easy it is to sell globally and how difficult it is to deliver a seamless buying experience while staying compliant. While demand for cross-border shopping is strong, unclear pricing, unexpected fees, and inconsistent experiences are creating friction that directly impacts the long-term trust of the customer and in return, the margins of the business. This session is designed to bring clarity to a complex and fast-moving landscape. We’ll explore how businesses are navigating cross-border complexity and improving the buyer experience, plus share insights on reducing friction and risk, improving cost transparency, and scaling cross-border operations with confidence, globally.

Barcode scanning may be a mature technology, but advances in artificial intelligence are creating new opportunities to improve performance, productivity and operational visibility. Join Honeywell's Glenn Aspenns and host Peter MacLeod 🇪🇺 for an educational discussion on how AI is transforming barcode scanning across warehousing, manufacturing, transportation and other industrial environments. Together, they'll explore how AI is helping organisations improve first-pass read rates, reduce no-reads and deliver more consistent performance in challenging real-world conditions. The session will examine where AI is delivering measurable value today, how buyers can evaluate emerging scanning technologies, and what the future of intelligent data capture looks like.

Most warehouses already run a WMS. Far fewer use it to drive the kind of performance that builds a genuine competitive edge. The gap between the two isn’t about the technology on the floor – it’s about how deeply operations leaders use the tools already available to them. In our upcoming webinar, Eric Carter, Senior Solutions Consultant at Aptean, joins Peter MacLeod 🇪🇺, Editor of Logistics Business Magazine, for a practical, evidence-based conversation about what high-performing warehouses do differently – drawing on the research behind Aptean’s Warehouse Maturity Curve eBook to map four core capability areas across three maturity levels.
