Director of Operations Lisa Flohr Celebrates 25 Years with Nexterus

Honors Include Being Named a 2023 Women in Supply Chain.

New Freedom, PA. – February 28, 2024 – Nexterus, a world-class supply chain management and third-party logistics (3PL) services provider, announces that its Director of Operations, Lisa Flohr, is celebrating 25 years with the company this month. She started at Nexterus as the Truckload Manager and worked her way up to the Director of Operations, managing all day-to-day tactical activity for the company. Lisa oversees multiple departments at the global 3PL, including domestic freight, international freight, claims, and freight bill audit and pay.

“Lisa is the definition of a Nexterian,” says Ryan Polakoff, President of Nexterus. “She is a true leader respected and admired by other team members, clients, and partners. She’s a true asset to our team.”


Lisa Flohr was named a recipient of the 2023 Women in Supply Chain award from Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazines. This award honors female supply chain leaders and executives whose accomplishments, mentorship, and examples set a foundation for women at all levels of a company’s supply chain network.

“Most clients come to us looking for a solution to their problem,” says Lisa Flohr, Director of Operations at Nexterus. “We help them find the right solution, integrate it into their company, and onboard the client. I am truly honored to be a member of this hard-working team that focuses on providing innovative solutions for our dedicated clients.”

Lisa works with the sales team to onboard new clients, determine their needs, issues, and challenges to find the right solution for the client. Her teams help negotiate pricing with carriers to get the best prices and services for the client. Her teams use the Nexterus TMS to automate otherwise manual processes to give the customer service reps more time to focus on customer satisfaction.

Nexterus is a very hands-on company, filing claims for clients on time and correctly. Nexterus incorporated software into the TMS so customers can start the claims process themselves, speeding settlement. If needed, the team fights hard to settle the claim on a client’s behalf. Nexterus also manages freight bills, audits freight bills, and pays carriers on behalf of the client. This ensures the client is not overpaying for their freight charges due to billing errors of the carrier.

“We work in compliance to protect our clients,” adds Flohr. We don’t just let anyone haul freight. We have a vetting process that protects the company and its clients while protecting their freight.”

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
