With special guest, Simon Batt, CEO, Asendia, our co-hosts John Walsh and Nick Agnetti focus on the complexities of international shipping and customer engagement in a rapidly changing e-commerce market.

They discuss the evolving landscape of cross-border e-commerce considering the rapid changes brought on by Covid 19, the necessities for logistics companies to adapt and move forward, and how retailers must be proactive in forming strategic partnerships rather than transactional relationships which can stifle growth in 2025 and more!
