This week’s guest is Dylan Alperin, VP of Professional Services at Keelvar. Founded in Ireland in 2012, Keelvar is a software company specializing in procurement automation and optimization solutions. The word Keelvar can be loosely translated from Irish as “sensible” or having “better intelligence.” Dylan joined Keelvar about 3 years ago after having spent the previous fifteen years in logistics procurement at a number of shippers as well as consultancies. His experience across these companies as well as his current role at Keelvar has given him a great perspective on transportation procurement. In our conversation, we discuss how sourcing optimization and automation each play a role, how the pace of procurement has changed over the years, and how AI, ML, and OR techniques and methodologies all play a role in helping humans make better decisions.
