Global Transportation Management Benchmark Study: Climbing the Visibility Sophistication Ladder
This report annually looks into the trends that impact how shippers and logistics service providers manage their international freight transportation processes, and the technology that helps support those processes.
Welcome to American Shipper’s fifth annual benchmark study of global transportation management, produced in conjunction with the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA).
This year, readers might notice a small, but substantial change in the title of the report. The report is now called the Global Transportation Management Benchmark Study to reflect the way shippers’ supply chains have grown.
Shippers and their service partners don’t just manage the movement of goods from one country into another – rather, they manage freight flows across multiple countries, with sourcing markets quickly evolving into consumer markets.
This report also differs a bit from those in years past in that it dives deep into three particular areas of global transportation management: visibility; the quality of data underlying that visibility; and the extent to which shippers’ transportation management has gone global.
Nearly 350 qualified global logistics practitioners participated in the survey from early September through early October.
