KPS Global® announced today the addition of several individuals as the company prepares for the retirement of key leaders.

Lun Tsuei joined the organization as the Director of Research & Development. Leveraging his PH.D. from University of California, Berkeley and his MBA from the University of Texas, Lun is versed in lean manufacturing and disciplined in the R&D process. James Costanza will work with Tsuei to share his knowledge and expertise in the industry to ready him for success to innovate new, sustainable products. James has contributed several patents and innovations while at KPS Global and remains involved in the organization as a valuable asset.

Jason Edevold also joined KPS Global as Vice President of Sales. Jason will succeed John Guerrieri who will retire later this year. John has been with KPS Global since 2018 but has 40 years of experience in the Refrigeration Equipment and Retail Store Fixture industry. Before joining KPS Global, Jason served as the Vice President of Sales for Chain Accounts, at Post Consumer Brands.

Also joining the organization is Tom Herberg who has worked in manufacturing for 28 years in various capacities and has also been a Lean Practitioner for 22 years. Tom is joining KPS Global as Vice President of Operations replacing Steve Pearson. Steve has been a valued member of the KPS Global organization and known to many in the industry and while officially retiring in February, he continues to support the organization including Tom’s onboarding process to ensure a smooth transition.

“We’re excited to have these talented individuals on our team. They provide a seamless evolution of key senior leadership roles in the organization. On behalf of the Board of Directors and management team, we want to thank James Costanza, John Guerrieri and Steve Pearson for their leadership and impact over their career with the organization” said Mike Eakins, CEO of KPS Global.

Small retailers rethink shipping fees as holiday shipping costs climb

Small retailers rethink shipping fees as holiday shipping costs climb

The National Retail Federation expects holiday retail sales to rise 4.2% to $1.01 trillion, but higher fuel prices and carrier holiday surcharges are raising shipping costs. Evie Pearl Handmade's owner now pays nearly $6 per package and is considering raising her shipping fees for the first time in six years. A New Jersey clothing founder began charging customers for return shipping this week. Larger retailers with dedicated contracts are better insulated for now, though Amazon reported an 11% rise in third-quarter shipping expenses.

  • 01NRF expects holiday retail sales to rise 4.2% to $1.01 trillion.
  • 02UPS, FedEx and USPS have added holiday surcharges that run through the end of the season.
  • 03One small seller's average label rose from around $4.50 last year to nearly $6 last month, and she is considering raising her shipping fees.

71% of retail merchants say AI tools have had limited or no effect so far

71% of retail merchants say AI tools have had limited or no effect so far

71% of retail merchants report limited or no effect from AI merchandising tools, while 83% of surveyed finance leaders say usage-based AI costs ran over expectations.

  • 01When merchants spend about 40% of their time stitching data together and 71% report limited or no effect from AI merchandising tools, the cheapest AI gain may sit in the plumbing between systems they already pay for.
  • 02A correct stockout forecast still loses the sale if it lands after purchase orders close or outside the replenishment system, so where a prediction arrives matters as much as how accurate it is.
  • 03Data preparation, integration and exit are separate line items in a realistic AI budget, and they can account for much of the work in a connected-systems project.
