Unplugged is Techdinamics' annual magazine covering insights, industry perspectives, and a closer look at the innovations shaping our platforms. Issue #1 is now available in full digital format, free to read, anytime.
The magazine brings together articles written by members of the Techdinamics team, covering the operational topics that defined fulfillment for 3PLs, brands, and retailers in 2025 and that continue to shape how they run their businesses today.
The magazine opens its Industry Trends section with "2025 in Review: The Year Fulfillment Became Fully Connected," by Maria Malesevic, VP of Sales & Marketing, drawing on findings from Techdinamics' first Customer Insight Survey.
The survey, completed by 3PLs and fulfillment operators across North America, paints a clear picture of an industry modernizing in stages. The data covers technology adoption rates, the metrics operators prioritize, the barriers slowing progress, and where investment is headed in 2026.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2025 set new volume records, but the article's argument goes further: the operational pressures of peak season now show up any day of the year. It covers what that means for how 3PLs and shippers need to be structured on an ongoing basis.
A practical look at two fundamentally different ways to retrieve shipping rates, what each costs in time and accuracy over the long run, and how to choose the right approach for your carrier mix and volume.
A clear explanation of how DIM weight is calculated, why carriers introduced it, and where businesses consistently absorb costs they could avoid with better packaging decisions.
Packaging is one of the most overlooked areas for cost reduction in fulfillment. This article covers how cartonization works, what it saves across different operation sizes, and how it integrates with smart packaging for specialized items.
A comparison of carrier-provided and third-party insurance across coverage scope, claims speed, and cost, making the case for why high-volume shippers should revisit their defaults.
Consumer expectations have reset the baseline for speed and cost. The article draws on a conversation with industry peer Brian Kirst as part of the SnapFulfil webinar series, covering how 3PLs and shippers are adjusting their carrier strategies, pricing models, and routing decisions in response.
A walkthrough of why most integration projects fail before they start and how a structured discovery phase, led by a Solutions Architect, produces a concrete Statement of Work that keeps timelines, budgets, and scope on track.
Issue #1 also includes a letter from CEO Edward Aguiar, a Techdinamics Year in Data review, product and service spotlights covering techSHIP, techOMS, and the Insights module, customer case studies, and a full recap of IGNITE 25, our first-ever user conference.
