Why Cross-Border Logistics Has No Spare Days Left

Send me a message

If one jammed parcel can cost you a day, what does that say about your supply chain visibility?

In this episode of Resilient Supply Chain, I’m joined by James Edge, CEO of Landmark Global, the cross-border e-commerce logistics arm of Bnode Group. James works right at the messy intersection of logistics, tariffs, customs, data, visibility, final mile, and customer expectations. In other words, all the quiet machinery that makes global shopping feel simple. Until it doesn’t.

You’ll hear how cross-border logistics has moved from “it’ll arrive eventually” to “why isn’t this as fast as domestic delivery?” That shift is putting real pressure on fulfilment networks, inventory placement, customs processes, and last-mile partners. James breaks down why tariffs can suddenly make a Canadian warehouse more sensible than shipping one parcel at a time from the US, and why the wrong fulfilment model can quietly eat margin before anyone in the boardroom notices. Always lovely when geopolitics turns into warehouse maths.

We also get into the changing final mile, from traditional carriers to DoorDash-style delivery networks, electric vehicles, lockers, reverse logistics, and the growing role of real-time data. And you might be surprised to learn that the unexpected hero here isn’t AI. It’s the scan. That small, boring data event can be the difference between saving a day and missing a truck cutoff.

🎙️ Listen now to hear how James Edge and Landmark Global are helping rethink supply chain resilience, sustainability, risk, data, and visibility in cross-border logistics.
