RESEARCH: Operational Agility Benchmarking Report
Volatility is now the rule, not the exception. Labor shortages, unpredictable order volumes, and supply chain disruptions are forcing operations leaders to make high-stakes decisions with limited visibility. Published in collaboration with Logistics Management, the Operational Agility Benchmark Report reveals how industry leaders adapt faster, make smarter labor and process decisions, and turn disruption into sustained performance gains.
Watch: AI and Data Transformation in Distribution
Good data and artificial intelligence go hand-in-hand, says Dan Keto, president and chief technology officer with Easy Metrics, Inc., but companies must make sure that data from multiple sources isn't trapped in functional silos. In the last 15 years, distribution facilities have experienced a “huge datafication uplift,” Keto says, with more than a dozen distribution data sources to contend with — and, at the same time, less visibility of that data.

The AI-Ready Warehouse Performance Management Playbook
The promise of AI in warehouse operations is real — but only if you start with the right data foundation. Many leaders feel pressure to “adopt AI” without a clear path to results. If you’re looking for tactical guidance on where and how AI can help make daily operations more efficient and cost-effective, this guide helps you separate hype from real operational impact.
The Unified Warehouse Data Playbook
Warehouses are flooded with data – from WMS to labor systems to billing platforms, across multiple locations. But more data doesn’t equal more value unless it’s unified, clean, and used intentionally. In this exclusive playbook, you’ll see how National Logistics Services (NLS) – a leading 3PL with over 1.7 million sq. ft. across 9 facilities – used unified data and labor analytics to reclaim 20% of paid hours, slash hidden costs, and unlock real-time profitability visibility.

Automating 3PL Profit Management
3PLs face rising labor costs, complex customer requirements, and rate structures that don’t reflect the true cost of service. Without visibility into daily operating margins, providers struggle to pinpoint which customers or workflows are driving losses. This brief outlines how real-time cost-to-serve analytics can transform how 3PLs manage profitability—featuring insights from the Profit Management, the Easy Metrics solution trusted by top logistics operators.
10 Metrics & KPIs To Manage Your Workforce For Operational Excellence
Digital transformation has increased the complexity, customizability, and volume of customer requirements and requests. It’s unclear what truly influences your labor costs between customers, product types, and processes. Productivity metrics in isolation no longer work. What’s needed now is to break down labor cost and performance into standard metrics that account for workflow variance, and that capture 100% of team hours.
Why Tariff Volatility Demands a New Era of Warehouse Performance Data Insight
One thing supply chain professionals have gotten used to dealing with is disruption. The tariffs, like the COVID-19 pandemic, are causing a new level of uncertainty and disruption of the supply chain. As more companies hope to shift production to the United States, the need to operate efficiently is critical. Better operational visibility will be necessary to offset higher U.S. labor costs and manage the upscaling of manufacturing and distribution facilities to meet demand.
Understanding Engineered Labor Standards
Clearly defined expectations are essential to your workforce’s success. Engineered labor standards are the cornerstone of having fair and accurate performance expectations for your team and, when used correctly, help your organization build a culture of high performance and positive employee morale.
Using a Labor Management System (LMS) to Combat Retention Issues in Your DC
There was a time when labor management systems were primarily used to monitor the performance and the cost of labor, and larger organizations tended to be the ones deploying them. Today, an LMS is becoming as necessary as a Warehouse Management System (WMS). Today’s LMSs are being used to combat the top issues causing high employee turnover rates in distribution centers, including non-competitive wages, too much overtime, and poor management communication.
