Join us as Elliott Lester, VP of IT at ReddyIce shares how his company was able to leverage enterprise-wide visibility to break down operational silos, transform processes, improve product margins, and develop actionable metrics to drive the allocation of key company resources to transform from a company on the brink of extinction to a market leader with sustainable competitive advantage.
