SPEAKER: Yeager is the CEO at Redwood Logistics.

KEY QUOTES FROM YEAGER

“LPaaS is much more than a tech strategy. It’s really a new operating model for us. Think about it as bridging the gap between logistics, execution and technology using some proprietary tools, especially RedwoodConnect, our no-code integration platform, to leverage an open ecosystem.”

“Not all of the great ideas are coming from the large TMS providers or the larger 3PLs. There’s a lot of emerging concepts, ideas, technologies and datasets that are out there that can really help our shippers effectively manage their supply chain. The problem is, historically they have been prevented from being able to really access that.”

“What LPaaS does is it enables shippers to get beyond those limitations and really develop a highly customized solution that meets their needs in an affordable and scalable way.”
