Thank you Betsy Ziegler and the 1871 Team for hosting an extraordinary #CannabisInnovationsPanel. The discussion / Q&A on CannaTech and Supply Chain Solutions was truly engaging. I always leave feeling inspired and encouraged from the prestigious 1871. I was asked to share my 2024 predictions 💡: 🥇 Actionable data will take center stage as a critical role in supply chain visibility, reliability and profitability. For example, Credit Management and A/R Collections will drive responsible order-to-cash decision making 💯 🥈 Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) and Demand Planning 📈 will become mainstream for retailers, brands and manufacturing as they look to traditional CPG best practices. 🥉 Health and Wellness products, like those at millierelief.com 💪 and soon to launch Feeldz - hemp sprouts 🌿, will catapult the cannabis industry forward. Brands that stand up for social justice and sustainability like Rebel Spirit will lead the way. A big thank you to Allison Dries and her Enliven Brands for the spirited discussion, and congratulations on all the success as a pioneer in the IL markets. Shoutout to our friends at Grown In, led by J Bradley Spirrison. And of course, a huge thank you to my amazing colleagues and team members at 240 Logistics, you all rock!!
