Pipe17, in collaboration with leading partners Salsify, izba, Slotted, Big Commerce, and Loop, presents a comprehensive playbook to help brands navigate supply chain disruption. 

Global trade rules are rapidly changing. New tariff policies, shifting regulations, and the demise of Section 321, commonly referred to as the “de minimis” exemption — which “allows goods to be shipped quickly and affordably,” according to the National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC) — are threatening supply chain progress, forcing business leaders to adapt quickly with new strategies.

That’s why Pipe17 partnered with Salsify and other leading partners to write “From Chaos to Control: A Playbook for Supply Chain Success in 2025.”

How To Fortify Your Supply Chain Against Tariff Turbulence 

The playbook provides detailed insights into creating an adaptable, resilient supply chain that can withstand tariff turbulence and regulatory shifts. It also shares practical strategies from industry experts that will help you turn supply chain challenges into long-term competitive advantages.

The playbook answers critical questions, including:

  • How do I use strategic diversification to protect my margins despite rising tariffs?
  • Why are third-party logistics (3PL) partnerships more crucial than ever — and how do I choose the right ones?
  • How does modern commerce technology serve as a competitive differentiator in volatile markets?
  • What are the essential steps to prepare my supply chain for any disruption scenario?

Artificial Intelligence Can Be a Copilot Through Chaotic Times 

Salsify co-founder and chief strategy and innovation officer Rob Gonzalez shares his insights on the benefits of brands using artificial intelligence (AI) to navigate supply chain disruption. 

“The brands that succeed will be the ones that see AI as a copilot: an accelerator of human insight, not a substitute. Whether it’s curating better customer experiences, predicting demand with precision, or scaling personalization efforts, AI’s highest value will come when it’s paired with creative, strategic, human thinking,” Gonzalez says. 

Turn Supply Chain Challenges Into Long-Term Competitive Advantage

This playbook could help your team discover how to integrate agility, flexibility, and adaptability into your supply chain, protecting your business from chaos while maintaining competitive advantage in 2025 and beyond.
