“Sam, to be successful at building technology for logistics you need to show a fast ROI and touch as a little of my sh*t as possible.” That was the parting wisdom from the owner of a small Fremont metal plant, Kargo's first ever "customer." To this day, his advice shapes Kargo’s three guiding product principles: 1. Generate ROI for the customer ASAP 2. Don’t rely on customer’s infrastructure 3. Introduce minimal change to customer’s processes Together these principles create a seamless experience for our customers; it takes an average of just 47 days to go from contract signature to go-live. That’s become the Kargo way. What meaningful advice has shaped your thinking? Let me know in the comments.

Your Competitors Are Already Automating—Are You Falling Behind? For years, automation was a competitive advantage. Now, it’s table stakes. The companies winning in the warehouse today aren’t just streamlining processes—they’re increasing throughput, cutting labor costs, and making faster decisions than their competitors. Meanwhile, companies still relying on manual workflows are: ? Losing time (and money) fixing preventable errors ? Slowing down their entire operation with bottlenecks at the dock ? Struggling with outdated visibility tools that leave them in the dark ? Paying for labor that automation could eliminate The question isn’t if automation will take over. It’s whether you’ll be ahead of the curve—or scrambling to catch up while your competitors move more product, faster, with fewer people. Where do you stand?

3 Questions to Ask Before Investing in Automation ?? Not all automation is created equal. Before making a decision, ask these three questions: 1?? How quickly does it deliver ROI? If it takes months to implement or is a large upfront cost, it’s not solving your problems—it’s creating new ones. Look for automation that delivers ROI fast. 2?? Is your automation creating flexibility or locking you into rigid systems? Some automation makes your operations more agile, while others require costly overhauls just to make small changes. Make sure you’re not boxing yourself in. 3?? Are you solving today’s problems or planning for the future? Long-term transformation is important, but incremental wins can deliver meaningful impact today. The best automation makes your operations faster, leaner, and more resilient. Does your warehouse tech-stack do that?

Food recalls are up over 20%—and consumer trust is at an all-time low. A recent Food Dive article on food safety highlights some alarming numbers: 1?? 53% of Americans don’t trust the safety of the U.S. food supply. 2?? Only 39% trust the government to ensure food safety. 3?? 68% of consumers say they would stop buying from a brand after a recall. Why does this matter? Consumers don’t blame regulators. They blame you. And depending on the severity, it can take 1–4 years for trust (and sales) to recover. Kargo’s AI-powered dock door visibility automates traceability, giving businesses real-time insight into what moves in and out of their warehouses. This means faster recall response, fewer manual errors, and the ability to pinpoint affected shipments instantly—without pulling entire product lines. Food Dive reports that better traceability can reduce recall costs by up to 80%. Recalls happen—the speed of your response makes the difference.

How much time does manual scanning actually take? Most people think it’s just: ?? Scan → Done. But in reality, this is the actual process: ?? Trailer Unload → Stage Pallets for Receipt → Scan Pallet Labels → Enter SKU → Receipt Confirmation → Pallets put away in WHSE → Pick Pallets → Stage Pallets for Shipping → Scan Pallet Labels (again) → Trailer Loading → Shipment Confirmation With Kargo’s computer vision, that entire process is reduced to: ? Trailer Unload → End-to-End Warehouse Processing → Trailer Loading → Shipment Confirmation If you're still relying on handheld scanners, your data isn't as accurate, you're wasting labor and you're sacrificing throughput.
