The 27th Annual Study of Logistics and Transportation Trends reveals the current state of freight transportation has many of the same hallmarks as the past. And while shippers are assessing new technologies to better manage operations, the results of our “27th Annual Study on Trends and Issues in Logistics & Transportation” suggest that these new tools alone will not solve the age-old problems we’re still facing.

During this session a panel of technology and industry experts discuss impact APIs can have on annual net income and market capitalization.
