Last month, I let an AI Agent handle my warehouse's daily scheduling, and it messed up the orders so badly we almost missed customer shipments. Honestly, I wanted to 'fire' it on the spot. But later I realized the problem wasn't the AI—it was me. Today, I want to share the best practices I've learned since that failure: not treating AI as a 'superhero,' but as a 'co-pilot.'

Seven years ago, I opened a small warehouse thinking inventory management was just about 'having a feel for it.'

Honestly, I was stunned. Today, I want to share the three latest supply chain trends I saw in Lao Li's warehouse for 2026: modularization, real-time operation, and democratization.

Five years ago, a sudden rainstorm flooded my chaotic warehouse, ruining inventory and delaying orders because I relied on memory and paper records. That night taught me that supply chain management can't be done by 'gut feeling.' Today, I'll share how I built a practical system from scratch, transforming my messy warehouse into an efficient operation.
