The Resilient Supply Chain Podcast is where global leaders explore how to make supply chains stronger, smarter, and more sustainable.
Hosted by Tom Raftery, technology evangelist, sustainability thought-leader, and former SAP Global VP, the show features C-suite executives, founders, and innovators from some of the world’s most influential companies. Together, we examine how organisations are building supply chains that can withstand shocks, adapt to change, and compete in a decarbonising economy.
New episodes drop every Monday at 7 a.m. CET, packed with real insight, not PR fluff.
From resilience and risk mitigation to AI-driven visibility, circular design, and ESG transformation, the podcast unpacks the data, systems, and strategies shaping global operations.
You’ll hear from the people doing the work on:
  • business continuity and crisis response
  • Scope 3 emissions and supply chain sustainability
  • digital twins and predictive resilience
  • ethical sourcing and due diligence compliance
  • nearshoring, automation, and future-ready logistics
Because a supply chain can’t be sustainable unless it’s resilient, and it can’t be resilient unless it’s sustainable.
Resilient Supply Chain+ subscribers also get access to bonus episodes, including highlight reels, extra analysis, trend briefings, and other subscriber-only insights.
If you’re a supply chain executive, sustainability strategist, or technology leader, this show gives you an edge.

  • Why More Robots Don’t Always Fix Warehouse Performance
    Apr 6 2026

    Send me a message

    What if the real bottleneck in warehouse performance isn’t the tech, but the people, decisions, and systems needed to make it work together? Keith Moore says it plainly: software is easy, people are hard.

    In this special Resilient Supply Chain roundtable, I’m joined by Mor Peretz, CEO of CaPow, Keith Moore, CEO of AutoScheduler, and Gonzalo Benedit, CRO of Aera Technology, to unpack what warehouse orchestration really means and why it matters now. For leaders focused on supply chain resilience, sustainability, risk, data, and visibility, this is a timely conversation about moving beyond isolated optimisation and getting the whole operation to work in sync.

    You’ll hear how even well-equipped sites can still lose serious performance because the pieces don’t fit together properly, and why downtime can represent 10% at a really good site to 30 or 40% of the time just wasted. We break down why more automation is not always the answer, why companies so often become data rich but insight poor, and how orchestration can help teams act faster, not just see more.

    You might be surprised to learn how often the real failure point is change management, not technology. We also get into energy as infrastructure, the cost of siloed decisions, and why the future is shifting from visibility to velocity. If you care about resilient operations, better decisions, and smarter growth, there’s a lot in here for you.

    🎙️ Listen now to hear how CaPow, AutoScheduler, and Aera Technology are rethinking warehouse performance through orchestration, better data, and sharper decision-making.

  • Your Transformation Isn’t Failing Because of Technology
    Mar 30 2026

    Send me a message

    What if the real reason transformation stalls isn’t the tech, but the fact that everyone is making decisions with a different rubric?
    And what happens when you start training AI on processes built 30 years ago?

    In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Don Mahoney, Global Head of Products and Innovation at SNP Group. Don has had a ringside seat to some of the world’s largest enterprise transformations, and he brings a sharp perspective on what actually drives supply chain resilience, business agility, and better decision-making when the pressure is on.

    We get into why transformation is no longer a one-off event, but an ongoing capability, and why so many firms still get trapped between “lift-and-shift” modernisation that delivers weak ROI and greenfield ambitions that exceed what the business can absorb. You’ll hear how Don thinks about the sweet spot in the middle, why organisational change is often the real constraint, and why “your plan, my plan, our plan” matters far more than most people admit.

    You might be surprised to learn that 80-something percent of enterprise data sits outside ERP systems, much of it unstructured, which makes data quality, visibility, and trust far more strategic than they look on a slide. We also break down one of my favourite lines in the episode: the shift from running a transaction machine to building a decision machine. That’s where the real value is.

    🎙️ Listen now to hear how Don Mahoney and SNP Group are rethinking supply chain resilience, data, visibility, and transformation in an AI-driven world.

  • The Real Supply Chain Bottleneck Isn’t AI. It’s Integration
    Mar 23 2026

    Send me a message

    If your AI strategy can’t show hard ROI, it’s not a strategy at all. And if your supply chain still runs on phone calls, emails, and patchy partner data, resilience is weaker than it looks.

    In this episode, I’m joined by JP Wiggins, CEO of 1Logtech, co-founder of GLog which became Oracle Transportation Management, co-founder of 3G TMS, and a former SAP transportation leader. JP has spent decades in logistics, transport, and TMS, so when he says the real bottleneck in supply chain resilience isn’t intelligence but integration, it’s worth paying attention.

    We break down why so many firms are still chasing AI headlines while the real work sits lower down the stack: clean data, connected trading partners, and operational visibility that actually works when disruption hits. You’ll hear why AI in supply chain is “a tool, not a strategy”, and why boards demanding an AI plan without hard ROI are often asking the wrong question.

    You might be surprised to learn that integrating a single carrier can still take three months and cost around $10,000 in dev work. We also get into the absurd but revealing story of “FOB” meaning not Free On Board, but “fruit on bottom”, a perfect example of why supply chain visibility, data normalisation, and logistics integration are still such stubborn problems. And yes, we talk about why modern supply chain resilience still collapses into manual check calls far more often than anyone likes to admit.

    🎙️ Listen now to hear how JP Wiggins and 1Logtech are rethinking supply chain resilience, visibility, data, and logistics integration.
