Shownotes

What if your “waste” is actually one of your biggest profit opportunities?

In this episode of Logistics With Purpose®, we sit down with Stephanie Benedetto, CEO and co-founder of Alokia, to uncover the massive hidden problem inside global supply chains—and how companies can turn excess inventory into measurable profit and impact.

Right now, businesses are sitting on an estimated $2 trillion in excess inventory—costing them money in storage, labor, and lost opportunity. But what if that “waste” could be reused, resold, or repurposed at scale?

Stephanie shares how leading brands are using AI, data, and smarter allocation strategies to:

  • Reduce excess inventory
  • Increase supply chain efficiency
  • Cut costs and unlock new revenue
  • Lower environmental impact without sacrificing growth

Whether you're in logistics, operations, procurement, or leadership, this conversation will change how you think about waste, efficiency, and opportunity in your business.
