Warehouse Automation

With the help of Transportation Management Systems, shippers have been able to optimize their freight transportation strategy worldwide.But global parcel shipping isnt the same as freight.Global parcel shipping requires multiple carriers. Its the last mile in multiple distribution models. Its under pressure to meet same-day and next-day delivery expectations.

To manage today’s complexities, current systems are forcing functional groups to resolve problems with outdated processes and approaches. This leads to poor product mix, lower margins, higher buffer inventories, unnecessary premium freight, low productivity and sub-optimal optimization.

To discuss how brokers can work to secure reliable capacity, FreightWaves and Trucker Tools are partnering for a one-hour webinar on Tuesday, January 15, at 2pm. This interactive webinar will feature insights from Prasad Gollapalli, CEO at Trucker Tools, as well as Jeff Henderson, Senior Vice President of Operations for Ryan Transportation Services, to share how technologies like Smart Capacity can help provide accurate, up-to-the-minute visibility into your carriers and their needs, supported by collaborative tools and real-time data to keep your carriers in the money…and your customers’ loads moving.

Final mile delivery volumes continue to increase with parcel shipments expected to double by 2026. Meanwhile, carrier rates are rising because of constrained carrier capacity, driver shortages, and higher fuel costs. Consumers are demanding a wider variety of free delivery choices like same-day and over the threshold. Not to mention more sustainable deliveries. If online sellers don’t make and meet these delivery promises and expectations, they will lose customer brand loyalty and will be unable to compete in the surging B2C eCommerce market.
