It also seems to be a main selling point of a lot of logistics and supply chain star-ups these days. I guess it sounds way sexier than "give us millions to build a new forwarder and our own tech because we don't want to use off-the-shelf software and we want to be acquired by DHL one day".

Arguably most C-suite execs shouldn’t even be dictating the specific techniques used to reach an objective or solve a problem.
