Nothing says the Holidays like gift-laden delivery trucks rushing to fill all of our last minute orders. And with every delivery comes a box, or two, or three, all of which arrive on our doorsteps out of a diverse and complicated paper and packaging supply chain. Many online businesses are working to innovate their packaging solutions to reduce paper waste this time of year, but supply chain data has a big role to play in creating more responsible holidays going forward.

If we wrote a blog telling the career stories of women who work at JDA, would people read them?

The decorations. The music. The food. The holiday season is a time of cheer and goodwill for many people. Nevertheless, there are two groups who may find each other especially trying this time of year: sales and production.
