The Value of Managing Global Transportation from a Single Platform

Globalization has put new pressures on shippers to carefully coordinate and orchestrate the movement of goods and merchandise around the world. Working with intricate supply chains that involve many different stakeholders, business partners, and customers, organizations are breaking down traditional transportation silos and leveraging centralized software platforms that allow their networks to be more efficient than ever before.

With world trade expected to grow by 4.7 percent in 2014 and 5.3 percent in 2015, according to the World Trade Organization (WTO), the need for robust global transportation platforms will grow exponentially.

In this white paper, we’ll examine the global transportation platform and how it’s being used, explore the economic value and related benefits of leveraging such platforms, and show how one shipper is realizing the value of managing global transportation from an online, centralized platform.
