Prose featured in Logistics News: Why visibility is the secret to aligning logistics and marketing

Prose’s Founder and CEO, Justin Belmont, was recently featured in Logistics News, where he shared expert advice on managing inbound logistics. The article highlights visibility’s critical role in aligning logistics and marketing, offering practical insights for industry leaders.

Here’s the full quote from the feature:

For someone new to managing inbound logistics, the golden rule goes like this: Visibility is everything. You can’t market a product effectively if you don’t know when it’s arriving or how delays might impact your campaigns. Invest in tools that give you real-time tracking and insights across your supply chain. It’s not just about moving goods—it’s about keeping your marketing team in the loop so they can align launches, promotions, and messaging. When logistics and marketing work hand-in-hand, you avoid the dreaded “sorry, it’s on backorder” fiasco.

Logistics News explores why visibility is a game changer for synchronizing operations and marketing, emphasizing how real-time insights can prevent costly missteps and improve collaboration across teams. You can read the full article here.

Why visibility matters and how to implement it

Inbound logistics is more than moving goods efficiently—it’s about ensuring your entire organization has the information it needs to act decisively. Without visibility, businesses risk:

  • Disjointed campaigns: Marketing teams might launch promotions for products still stuck in transit, frustrating customers and damaging your reputation.
  • Wasted opportunities: Poor communication can leave inventory sitting idle or miss opportunities to capitalize on demand.
  • Customer dissatisfaction: Delays force brands to tell customers, “Sorry, it’s on backorder,” eroding trust.

For example, a McKinsey & Company report estimates that in the automotive industry lost revenues for a four-month overdue launch could exceed $2 billion, assuming that customers would turn to competitors’ products.

Bonus feature: strategies for achieving real-time visibility

Visibility isn’t just about tracking—it’s about creating actionable insights that all teams can rely on. Here are three ways to make it happen:

  1. Invest in real-time tracking tools: Platforms such as FourKites and Project44 provide live updates on shipments, giving teams a clear picture of when goods will arrive.
  2. Integrate logistics and marketing platforms: Shared software solutions, such as ERP systems, ensure both teams operate with the same data and timelines.
  3. Leverage predictive analytics: AI-powered tools can forecast potential delays or disruptions, enabling teams to adjust plans before issues arise.

These tools not only improve alignment between logistics and marketing but also boost overall operational efficiency.
