Reshoring isn't just a manufacturing story.

As production moves closer to home, so does the kitting, co-packing, and assembly work behind it — right into an already tight labor market.

While companies are focusing on where products are being made, a bigger question is getting lost in the shuffle: Who is going to do the finishing work once it lands here?

Buying warehouse technology is one thing—actually realizing value from it is another.

In a recent article for Inbound Logistics, Capstone’s Chief Commercial Officer, Sean Coakley, addresses why so many supply chain leaders invest heavily in WMS platforms and automation, yet still struggle with the same core headaches: labor instability, unpredictable volume spikes, and missed throughput targets.

Sean breaks down how moving to a modern operating model—focused on the four pillars of workforce resilience, operational flexibility, automation readiness, and performance management—helps shippers disrupt that cycle and lower operating costs by up to 25%.

In healthcare, the last mile isn’t just a package delivery route.

Last-mile logistics can affect lab turnaround times, pharmacy operations, clinical workflows, and ultimately, patient care.

As healthcare networks become more complex — spanning hospitals, labs, pharmacies, outpatient centers, and home-based care — reliable transportation has become an essential part of keeping care moving.

From STAT and on-demand deliveries to dedicated drivers, chain-of-custody visibility, and route optimization, healthcare logistics has to be built around speed, accountability, and consistency.

See why last-mile performance matters in modern healthcare delivery.
