Now, companies are using multiple partners and logistics service providers. They’re making decisions based on data from several transportation management applications. And they’re adopting a new transportation model — keeping strategy centralized but tailoring execution to the local environment.
This new model is based on a network, where every partner is connected to a single control layer in the cloud. This allows companies to lower costs while maintaining visibility into the end-to-end transportation process.
Improving the customer experience is now a key strategy used to differentiate a company from its competition. Executives are realizing the importance of supply chain in this role, where better managing transportation leads to greater agility and the ability to deliver to customers faster, anywhere in the world.
