Logistics tech veteran Prasad Gollapalli has moved to a new position as CEO of Qued Inc., a Virginia-based startup that says it plans to bring workflow automation to the transportation industry by using artificial intelligence and machine learning to help teams get more done, with less clicks.

Qued, which was founded in the second quarter of 2023, recently launched its SaaS-based smart AI workflow management software platform that transforms load appointment scheduling for 3PLs and carriers. 

Gollapalli is one of the founding investors in Qued, following his work as founder and CEO of Trucker Tools, the digital freight management platform he sold in 2021 to ASG, a portfolio company of the private equity firm Alpine Investors.

“Qued is at an exciting stage in its development,” Gollapalli said in a release. “We are addressing a highly manual and error-prone aspect of trucking operations management – how trucking firms, brokers and 3PLs request, secure and confirm load appointments. Our platform for the first time provides users with an automated and streamlined process to accomplish this task, eliminating the need for rekeying or jumping back and forth between screens.”

Nearly one-third of American consumers have increased their secondhand purchases in the past year, revealing a jump in “recommerce” according to a buyer survey from ShipStation, a provider of web-based shipping and order fulfillment solutions.

The number comes from a survey of 500 U.S. consumers showing that nearly one in four (23%) Americans lack confidence in making purchases over $200 in the next six months. Due to economic uncertainty, savvy shoppers are looking for ways to save money without sacrificing quality or style, the research found.

Key technical considerations for RFID item tagging of nonapparel products

Supply chain managers at consumer goods manufacturing companies are tasked with meeting mandates from large retailers to implement item-level RFID. Initially these requirements applied primarily to apparel manufacturers and brands. Now, realizing the fruits of this first RFID wave, retailers are turning to suppliers to tag more merchandise.

This is one more priority for supply chain leaders, who suddenly have RFID added to their to-do list. How to integrate tagging into automated production lines? How to ensure each tag functions properly after goods are packed, shipped, and shelved? Where to position the RFID tag on the product? All are important questions to be answered in order to implement item-level RFID. The clock is ticking on retail mandates.
