A surprise CPI print, an unscheduled central bank comment, an earnings miss that gaps a stock at the open — the market doesn’t wait for you to catch up.

From unexpected shipping delays to sudden material shortages, managing how goods flow has become a major source of stress for entrepreneurs. These disruptions don’t just affect your…
