Beyond Tariffs: Navigating Trade Volatility with Intelligence and Resilience
By Haydn Powell, Co-Founder of Applix
​
Shifting tariff regimes, geopolitical uncertainty, and nearshoring trends are transforming U.S.–Mexico trade dynamics, underscoring the crucial role of organizations like the USMCOC. As traditional Total Landed Cost models become insufficient, businesses are adopting more sophisticated strategies, such as probabilistic Cost-to-Serve analytics and AI-driven simulations. The article reviews tools from Palantir, Flexport, C.H. Robinson, Optilogic, and Applix, emphasizing the growing need for foresight rather than reactive planning. It underscores the importance of integrating tariff modeling, predictive Cost-to-Serve analytics, and scenario stress testing to enable confident, risk-adjusted decisions. In this rapidly evolving landscape, strategic simulation is becoming increasingly essential for enhancing supply chain resilience and competitiveness.
