Duration: 40 minutes   Language: English

In this episode of Confessions of a Supply Chain Executive, Omni Talk host Chris Walton and Dematic’s Kim Baudry explore why 2025 has become a year of caution for retail supply chains. From rising inventory levels and slower capital spending to the shift from “just in time” to “just in case,” the conversation unpacks how uncertainty is reshaping fulfillment strategies.

The episode also examines the growing demand for flexible automation, the rise of robots as a service, and why AI may impact warehouse operations faster than any other area of the business.
