At the beginning of the 20th century, the average annual wage was $432, a postage stamp was $.02, and the cost of 5 pound bag of flour was $.12. So much has changed in 120 years, including how we purchase goods and how they get to our homes. Warehousing, Transportation, and Inventory Management have undergone dramatic transformation in the past century. In this article, we explore the evolution of an industry and The Shippers Group.

A hot topic in the Supply Chain industry is the current industrial real estate market. At CSCMP’s EDGE Conference last week, Rob Doyle, President and Robin Siekerman, VP of Marketing and Customer Solutions of The Shippers Group co-chaired the Warehousing Track which included a session on Industrial Real Estate: Trends and Insights for The Supply Chain. In an interactive session with the audience, real estate professionals led the discussion on various topics highlighting the current state of industrial real estate.
The most powerful community in Supply Chain came together in-person at CSCMP’s annual EDGE Conference this year in Atlanta, after the necessity to hold last year’s conference fully virtual due to the global pandemic. CSCMP once again delivered an impressive line-up of educational sessions and networking events during the conference in a safety-conscious environment, while also offering a virtual option for attendance.
From systems set-up to establishing remote working connections to security updates, you name it—there is nothing our IT team can’t handle! Today is National IT Professionals Day, and while we are grateful to every individual on our IT team, we want to take this moment to spotlight our very own IT Manager, Nicole Pineda!
