Reevaluating the Supply Chain: Transportation Execution Driven by Innovation in Uncertain Times
Join Bart de Muynck, Matt Yearling, Jett McCandless, Robert Leachman, and Ashish Chona, in this expert webinar/roundtable, moderated by Aleks Gollu, as they discuss reevaluating the supply chain and how transportation execution will be driven by innovation, especially in these uncertain times.
Transportation Execution is Driven by Innovation in Uncertain Times
The Logistics Industry in the U.S. represents approximately 10% of the GDP or close to 2 trillion dollars.
Data shows that the most significant activity comes from trucking.
Trucking moves 71% of all the freight in America, and nearly 6% of all the full-time jobs in the country are in the trucking industry.
That translates into an $800B industry moving over one billion trailer and container loads in any given year.
Typically, transportation execution is a multi-party, multi-tier effort that occurs among many supply-chain partners.
In our current reality, pure efficiency is no longer sufficient, agility and adaptability have come to the forefront.
As a result, supply chain executives have been heavily investing in automated execution and real-time visibility technologies to continue moving inventory and delivering on customer expectations.
