  • Earth Observed | Episode 19 | Boosting SME Logistics Profits with AI
    Dec 30 2025

    In the final (for now) episode of the Earth Observed podcast, we dive into the fast-evolving world of logistics with Selby Cary, co-founder and Head of Product and Engineering at Mapify. Selby unpacks how AI is transforming logistics from spreadsheet-driven guesswork into intelligent, visual operations to help small and medium-sized businesses unlock hidden profit and reduce costly downtime.

    From the inspiration behind Mapify to its role as a powerful asset-management platform, the conversation explores why user experience is critical in high-pressure logistics environments and how smarter mapping can drive real business growth.

    A big thank you for Selby for joining us!
