It’s easy to get caught up in what’s still left to fix. That’s the nature of this kind of work — always looking for the next constraint, the next improvement, the next fire to put out. But once in a while, it’s worth pausing to look back at how far things have come.
This photo is from a new distribution facility in Laredo, where we’re nearing go-live after months of operational planning, systems design, infrastructure implementation, validating, and adjusting. What started as an empty floor and a long list of decisions has taken shape — and the racks going up felt like a quiet milestone. The cherry on top will be watching it all come to life when operations start flowing through next week.
There’s still work ahead (there always is), but this is a good moment to mark.
