DCV-TV launches enhanced upload for viewer-contributed content

New functionality makes uploading videos to DC VELOCITY 's DCV-TV website easier than ever.

Adding your videos to the largest online archive of logistics- and supply chain-specific content just got easier. AGiLE Business Media, publisher of DC VELOCITY and its DCV-TV streaming video website, has unveiled several enhancements to DCV-TV Channel 4, its showcase for viewer-contributed content, sometimes described as "YouTube for the logistics and supply chain market."

"This enhanced video upload function provides greater functionality and some very useful account management and post-upload editing capability for all users," says Jeff Thacker, AGiLE's director of e-media. For example, viewers may now upload videos with a file size of up to 100MB. In addition, all videos can now run without a Flash plug-in and are therefore viewable on Apple iOS-based devices such as the iPhone and the iPad. Finally, the upgrade offers a greatly improved video interface, including better account management features and a username- and password-recovery system.


"This is a great opportunity to gain further exposure for our audience's and advertisers' video offerings," says Mitch Mac Donald, president and CEO of AGiLE, and group editorial director for DC VELOCITY. "Since its launch over four years ago, DCV-TV has aggregated the market's largest and most comprehensive archive of logistics- and supply chain-related video content. This includes not only our own editorial content, which we stream via DCV-TV Channel 1, but also content from our readers and advertisers, who to date have added over 1,500 of their own videos to DCV-TV Channel 4." Other DCV-TV channels are devoted to hosting the DCV-TV webcast archive (Channel 2), and video case studies (Channel 3).

Viewers can upload their content to DCV-TV Channel 4 at no charge and make it immediately available to an audience of over 50,000 executive-level logistics and supply chain decision-makers.

How clever is that chatbot?

Oh, you work in logistics, too? Then you’ve probably met my friends Truedi, Lumi, and Roger.

No, you haven’t swapped business cards with those guys or eaten appetizers together at a trade-show social hour. But the chances are good that you’ve had conversations with them. That’s because they’re the online chatbots “employed” by three companies operating in the supply chain arena—TrueCommerce, Blue Yonder, and Truckstop. And there’s more where they came from. A number of other logistics-focused companies—like ChargePoint, Packsize, FedEx, and Inspectorio—have also jumped in the game.

Experts: U.S. companies need strategies to pay costs of Trump tariffs

With the hourglass dwindling before steep tariffs threatened by the new Trump Administration will impose new taxes on U.S. companies importing goods from abroad, organizations need to deploy strategies to handle those spiraling costs.

American companies with far-flung supply chains have been hanging for weeks in a “wait-and-see” situation to learn if they will have to pay increased fees to U.S. Customs and Border Enforcement agents for every container they import from certain nations. After paying those levies, companies face the stark choice of either cutting their own profit margins or passing the increased cost on to U.S. consumers in the form of higher prices.

J.B. Hunt launches solar farm to power its three HQ buildings

Supply chain solution provider J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. has launched a large-scale solar facility that will generate enough electricity to offset up to 80% of the power used by its three main corporate campus buildings in Lowell, Arkansas.

The 40-acre solar facility in Gentry, Arkansas, includes nearly 18,000 solar panels and 10,000-plus bi-facial solar modules to capture sunlight, which is then converted to electricity and transmitted to a nearby electric grid for Carroll County Electric. The facility will produce approximately 9.3M kWh annually and utilize net metering, which helps transfer surplus power onto the power grid.
