Ram Radhakrishnan (CEO, Silq) and Michael Rentz (CRO, Gnosis Freight) unpack what “visibility” really means today: not just dashboards, but real-time and predictive insight that powers action. Michael explains why Gnosis built its own operational-grade data layer after legacy feeds proved too incomplete to run live operations, and how that data now drives both software and APIs. They talk through symptoms that a shipper needs container lifecycle management (high demurrage/detention, teams living in spreadsheets and carrier sites) and how AI can quietly convert messy emails and documents into structured milestones while humans stay “in the loop” for decisions. The discussion then zooms out to tariffs, nearshoring, and a more multipolar world, with Michael urging importers to think in 50–100-year cycles, diversify away from single-country risk, and measure performance at the container level when designing future networks and negotiating with carriers.
