Driving Supply Chain Agility: Real-World Strategies from Industry Experts

In today’s volatile landscape, agility is no longer a buzzword, it’s a necessity. From demand unpredictability to labour shortages and fragmented tech stacks, organisations are being pushed to adapt faster than ever. But where do you begin?

This was the key question at the heart of our latest nConnect webinar: “Building Agile Supply Chains: Strategies That Drive True Efficiency.” Hosted by our very own Andy Kim, the session brought together a powerhouse panel of industry experts to explore practical solutions that supply chain leaders can implement today.

What We Covered

Vlade Popovski, our Director of Practice & Delivery, opened with a compelling diagnosis of common red flags in outdated supply chain strategies—frequent stockouts, cost inefficiencies, and lack of responsiveness to disruptions. He stressed the importance of simplifying workflows, integrating modern technologies, and equipping people with the tools and training they need to adapt.

Rebecca Lee, nConnect’s Sales Director for Southeast Asia, delivered an insightful snapshot of how the region is embracing digital transformation. Gone are the days of Southeast Asia being viewed solely as a low-cost labour market. Today, businesses are increasingly investing in connected systems, SaaS platforms, and automation to stay competitive while navigating rising labour costs and retention challenges.

Our special guest, Jacques Roux, Chief Commercial Officer at Henning Harders Contract Logistics, walked us through their incredible journey—from strategy to execution—as they built a best-in-class 3PL network across Australia and New Zealand. His key takeaways? Put the customer first, communicate often, and never underestimate the value of future-proofed systems and long-term partnerships.

Key Themes

  • Visibility is more than a dashboard, it’s about real-time data and actionable KPIs.
  • Technology should empower, not bottleneck—your agility.
  • Automation is no longer optional. It’s a direct response to rising labour costs and retention concerns.
  • Future-ready businesses start with strong internal alignment, clear goals, and the right partnerships.
