About our Hosts & Sponsors:
Hosts:
I'm Gowtham Ramachandran, founder and writer of The Conveyor. I spent seven years running an electronics manufacturing company. When COVID hit, it exposed how fragile my supply chain was - and how hard it was to find practical advice to help me improve it. I started writing The Conveyor to change that. My goal is to help professionals improve their supply chain.
Operating Crew is an operations advisory built for scaling DTC brands. Specializing in packaging sourcing and manufacturing, parcel shipping, and warehouse fulfillment, their team of seasoned operators helps 8- to 9-figure brands cut costs and grow with intention. They believe the supply chain isn't an operational headache - it's your most powerful growth lever.
Sponsors:
Infios is supply chain execution software for brands that have outgrown reactive, spreadsheet-driven operations. It coordinates order, warehouse, and transportation management in one place, so a disruption in one system doesn't blindside the others. The core is Infios AI - it senses a problem, decides the best response, and pushes coordinated action across systems before someone has to firefight it manually.
Silq is a freight forwarder that combines quality inspections and freight execution in one platform. Most forwarders only get visibility once cargo is moving. Silq starts at the factory floor - feeding real-time production data into shipment planning for better container utilization and more predictable delivery windows.
