| A lost package is now worth $100 |
| ShipStation now lets Walmart Marketplace sellers ship on Walmart's negotiated rates, with up to $100 back when a package goes missing. The condition is that the order shipped on time. Miss the window and the box is your problem again. Meanwhile in Dearborn, Tailored Bottling has a plant built for 750 million cans a year and 18 people inside it. | | Neither of these is your industry, probably. Both are your next vendor conversation. The big buyer is now setting the freight rate and the insurance terms, and the plant that can take your volume is waiting on a second shift, not a second building. Capacity, it turns out, is a staffing question with a loading dock attached. | | The rest of the week has drive-thru manners, robot rulebooks and a mass spectrometer that finally got cheaper. Down you go. |

| How people use MarketScale |
| Your best expert is about to be in the same room as a camera. |
| A trade show, a plant visit, a customer in town. That is a shoot. |
| |
|
If the person who understands your line, your robots or your claims process is about to be on a show floor or walking a customer through the plant, that is a shoot. MarketScale Studios record that conversation where it happens and turn it into clips, an article, a podcast episode and posts your sales team can send that week. |

The order got more accurate and the human at the window got quieter, which is a training note, not a verdict.

Schneider is paying $22.6 billion for the drawings, because a model of your plant is only as good as the CAD files behind it. |

If a record month depends on how you count one deal, watch the single-building number instead, it has fewer opinions. |
