In this episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast, I had a fascinating chat with Alex Yaseen, founder and CEO of Parabola. Alex and his team are doing incredible work, empowering non-technical folks to automate complex, manual data processes within the supply chain sector.

We delved into how Parabola allows operators to essentially 'drag and drop' tasks, making it super accessible and user-friendly, and even tackle tricky stuff like parsing handwriting from PDFs using AI - mind-blowing!

Alex shared some compelling success stories too. From major freight forwarders like Flexport to 100-year old family businesses like NFI, Parabola is enabling these organizations to dramatically increase efficiency, minimize errors, and promote creative innovation.

Importantly, we touched on the fear many operators have about automation taking their jobs. But as Alex rightly pointed out, using Parabola isn't about job loss; it's about evolving roles, improving job quality, and opening up possibilities for advancement.

Parabola is indeed transforming the world of data in supply chains and it's been an absolute pleasure having Alex on the show. Tune in for some great insights and remember, the future of supply chains is digital and it's happening now!
