DCV-TV launches enhanced upload for viewer-contributed content

New functionality makes uploading videos to DC VELOCITY 's DCV-TV website easier than ever.

Adding your videos to the largest online archive of logistics- and supply chain-specific content just got easier. AGiLE Business Media, publisher of DC VELOCITY and its DCV-TV streaming video website, has unveiled several enhancements to DCV-TV Channel 4, its showcase for viewer-contributed content, sometimes described as "YouTube for the logistics and supply chain market."

"This enhanced video upload function provides greater functionality and some very useful account management and post-upload editing capability for all users," says Jeff Thacker, AGiLE's director of e-media. For example, viewers may now upload videos with a file size of up to 100MB. In addition, all videos can now run without a Flash plug-in and are therefore viewable on Apple iOS-based devices such as the iPhone and the iPad. Finally, the upgrade offers a greatly improved video interface, including better account management features and a username- and password-recovery system.


"This is a great opportunity to gain further exposure for our audience's and advertisers' video offerings," says Mitch Mac Donald, president and CEO of AGiLE, and group editorial director for DC VELOCITY. "Since its launch over four years ago, DCV-TV has aggregated the market's largest and most comprehensive archive of logistics- and supply chain-related video content. This includes not only our own editorial content, which we stream via DCV-TV Channel 1, but also content from our readers and advertisers, who to date have added over 1,500 of their own videos to DCV-TV Channel 4." Other DCV-TV channels are devoted to hosting the DCV-TV webcast archive (Channel 2), and video case studies (Channel 3).

Viewers can upload their content to DCV-TV Channel 4 at no charge and make it immediately available to an audience of over 50,000 executive-level logistics and supply chain decision-makers.

Survey: In-store shopping sentiment up 21%

E-commerce activity remains robust, but a growing number of consumers are reintegrating physical stores into their shopping journeys in 2024, emphasizing the need for retailers to focus on omnichannel business strategies. That’s according to an e-commerce study from Ryder System, Inc., released this week.

Ryder surveyed more than 1,300 consumers for its 2024 E-Commerce Consumer Study and found that 61% of consumers shop in-store “because they enjoy the experience,” a 21% increase compared to results from Ryder’s 2023 survey on the same subject. The current survey also found that 35% shop in-store because they don’t want to wait for online orders in the mail (up 4% from last year), and 15% say they shop in-store to avoid package theft (up 8% from last year).

Wreaths Across America seeks carriers for December mission

National nonprofit Wreaths Across America (WAA) kicked off its 2024 season this week with a call for volunteers. The group, which honors U.S. military veterans through a range of civic outreach programs, is seeking trucking companies and professional drivers to help deliver wreaths to cemeteries across the country for its annual wreath-laying ceremony, December 14.

“Wreaths Across America relies on the transportation industry to move the mission. The Honor Fleet, composed of dedicated carriers, professional drivers, and other transportation partners, guarantees the delivery of millions of sponsored veterans’ wreaths to their destination each year,” Courtney George, WAA’s director of trucking and industry relations, said in a statement Tuesday. “Transportation partners benefit from driver retention and recruitment, employee engagement, positive brand exposure, and the opportunity to give back to their community’s veterans and military families.”
