Webinar to Tackle Hidden Costs Eroding Margins in Packaged Goods Supply Chains

## Webinar to Address Hidden Cost Pressures in Packaged Goods Supply Chains FreightWaves, in partnership with G3 Logistics, is set to host a complimentary webinar on October 15 focused on identifying and managing the hidden costs that continue to erode margins across packaged goods supply chains. According to FreightWaves, the session will bring together supply chain leaders to examine how operational exceptions — often overlooked in standard reporting — are quietly draining capacity and profit from logistics networks. The webinar aims to equip attendees with practical frameworks for identifying, quantifying, and governing these cost leakages before they compound into significant financial exposure. The packaged goods sector has faced sustained margin pressure in recent years, driven by freight rate volatility, shifting consumer demand patterns, and the lingering structural inefficiencies exposed during pandemic-era supply chain disruptions. As carriers and shippers work to normalise operations, attention is increasingly turning to the granular, day-to-day exceptions — such as unplanned accessorial charges, dwell time overruns, and load rejections — that rarely surface in high-level supply chain reviews but collectively represent a material drag on profitability. The partnership between FreightWaves, a leading freight intelligence platform, and G3 Logistics, a third-party logistics provider, signals growing industry interest in data-driven approaches to supply chain governance. By combining market intelligence with operational expertise, the webinar is positioned to offer actionable insights rather than purely theoretical analysis. For supply chain managers, procurement leaders, and logistics executives operating in the packaged goods space, the October 15 session represents an opportunity to benchmark their cost-visibility practices against industry peers and explore emerging tools for exception management. Registration for the free webinar is available through the FreightWaves website.
