Talaria Transportation, LLC, a privately held company specializing in secure, compliant logistics for the legal cannabis industry, announces its strategic growth plans for 2024, including the launch of a new distribution platform in New York and New Jersey and expansion into seven new states for subsidiary companies National Secure Transport and Melly Home Delivery.

Specialists in the secure statewide transportation of raw material or finished product and lab samples, Talaria will roll out a distribution platform in 2024. The new platform will allow the company to warehouse product and manage products for brands and dispensaries. Talaria has already launched the platform in New York in February, with New Jersey to follow at the end of March.

Additionally, National Secure Transport, a subsidiary of Talaria, plans to launch in seven more states by the end of 2024, increasing the company’s presence from 29 states to 36. Melly Home Delivery, another Talaria subsidiary, plans to expand into Missouri, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York before the end of the year.

“Our 2024 expansion plans will get us closer to our goal of serving every state with regulated cannabis,” said CEO and founder Ari Raptis. “Between the launch of our distribution platform and our expansion into several new states, 2024 is going to be a great year for supporting the invisible infrastructure of the cannabis industry.”

Launched in 2017, Talaria Transportation is a leading cannabis logistics company. Led by Ari Raptis, a Top 40 Under 40 Rising Star by Marijuana Venture, his combined transportation logistics companies employ more than 250 people across 29 states, using retired police officers and military veterans to securely carry out all deliveries.

DHL: small businesses wary of uncertain times in 2025

As U.S. small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face an uncertain business landscape in 2025, a substantial majority (67%) expect positive growth in the new year compared to 2024, according to a survey from DHL.

However, the survey also showed that businesses could face a rocky road to reach that goal, as they navigate a complex environment of regulatory/policy shifts and global market volatility. Both those issues were cited as top challenges by 36% of respondents, followed by staffing/talent retention (11%) and digital threats and cyber attacks (2%).

Maersk offers 5 steps to make your supply chain “antifragile”

Companies worldwide faced waves of business disruptions throughout the past year, but as 2025 is predicted to be just as complex as 2024, global cargo carrier Maersk has listed five steps for making supply chains “antifragile.”

Maersk’s overall view of the coming year is that the global economy is expected to grow modestly, with the possibility of higher inflation caused by lingering supply chain issues, continued geopolitical tensions, and fiscal policies such as new tariffs. Geopolitical tensions and trade disruptions could threaten global stability, climate change action will continue to shape international cooperation, and the ongoing security issue in the Red Sea is expected to continue into 2025.

Lean into your supply chain community

As I assume the role of Chair of the Board of Directors for the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), I fondly reflect on the more than 10 years that I’ve had the privilege of being part of this extraordinary organization. I’ve seen firsthand the impact we have had on individuals, companies, and the entire supply chain profession.

CSCMP’s journey as an organization began back in 1963. It has since grown from a small, passionate community to the world’s premier association for supply chain professionals. Our mission—to connect, educate, and develop supply chain professionals throughout their careers—remains not only relevant, but vital in today’s world.

The standing neutral: An innovative approach for managing supplier conflict

Editor’s Note:This article serves as a follow-up to “Avoiding supplier conflict and disputes before they begin,” which appeared in the July/August 2024 issue of Supply Chain Xchange.

The concept of using a neutral third party to resolve conflicts between suppliers and customers is not new. Mediation and arbitration have long been considered as more efficient and less costly ways to resolve contractual disputes than litigation. In fact, 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the Federal Arbitration Act, which allows for contract disputes to be resolved through a private resolution process instead of going to court.

Idea in action: EY case study

The global consulting firm EY was looking to outsource the food services, cleaning services, and maintenance at its facilities to the provider Integrated Service Solutions (ISS). But the company wanted to do so in a way that was completely different from how it had approached outsourcing workplace services in the past. EY and ISS wanted to create an outsourcing agreement that was highly collaborative and beneficial for both parties.

To do so, they incorporated a standing neutral in the contracting process from the outset. Together the parties selected one standing neutral—Erik Linnarsson, a lawyer from Cirio Law Firm—as a deal facilitator. Linnarsson was trained as a certified deal architect (CDA) to craft complex outsourcing agreements.
