From February 9–11, 2026, the global supply chain and logistics community gathered in Las Vegas for Manifest: The Future of Supply Chain and Logistics. ShipX was there with a clear purpose: to engage in the conversations shaping the next era of parcel delivery.
After three days of discussions, insights, and collaboration, one thing is clear — the parcel landscape is evolving faster than ever, and the strategies that worked even a few years ago are no longer enough to support speed, reliability, and margin protection at scale.
Manifest has become one of the most influential events in logistics because it focuses on what is coming next — not just what is working today. This year’s conversations reflected the realities logistics leaders are facing right now.
Across panels, keynotes, and side conversations, several themes consistently emerged:
These are not theoretical challenges. They are daily operational pressures for fulfillment centers, retailers, and logistics teams nationwide.
One of the strongest takeaways from Manifest 2026 was how dramatically parcel delivery has changed.
It is no longer a simple handoff between shipper and carrier. It is an interconnected network of decisions that directly impacts customer experience, operational efficiency, and profitability.
Limited visibility creates blind spots that lead to missed delivery windows, reactive customer service, and rising costs. Rigid carrier strategies reduce flexibility when conditions shift. And at scale, even minor inefficiencies compound quickly, eroding margins.
Modern logistics strategies now demand:
The organizations leading the way are not just reacting to problems. They are proactively optimizing outcomes.
Manifest 2026 reinforced why ShipX exists.
Rather than replacing the world’s largest shipping carriers, ShipX helps fulfillment centers and retailers get more from them. By optimizing how express, ground, and postal services work together, ShipX delivers better visibility, greater flexibility, and improved cost control across a nationwide delivery network.
The conversations in Las Vegas validated what we see every day:
That is exactly the approach ShipX was built to support.
Manifest 2026 was more than an industry event. It was a clear reflection of where supply chain and logistics are headed.
The ideas shared, the challenges discussed, and the partnerships formed will shape how organizations think about shipping, visibility, and carrier optimization in the years ahead.
To everyone we connected with in Las Vegas — thank you for the conversations. And for those continuing to explore smarter parcel strategies, we look forward to building what comes next together.
