Managing Global Transportation: How NVOCCs Can Operate More Profitably

Every U.S. organization involved with global transportation management is faced with what seems to be an ever-shifting puzzle of regulations, compliance hurdles, and carrier networks that are now stressed to balance capacity, costs and service.

To make matters even more challenging, we've been hit with headlines on new and evolving trade agreements (TPP), shifts in global alignments (Brexit), and with the opening of the Panama Canal expansion project, global transportation mangers are now anxious to see how this historic project could alter global supply chain strategies—if at all.

And while we’ll never fully solve the global transportation puzzle, we can take steps to better manage the complexities and gain better visibility of our data to streamline our decision-making process. In fact, the editors of Logistics Management have gathered four features designed to help non-vessel operating common carriers (NVOCCs) do just that.

Over the next few pages, we’ll define the role technology is playing in improving global transportation management, learn how one NVOCC is using technology to make its global transportation component more ef cient, and gain a better understanding of the shifting global services markets. We hope this edition will help you work smarter, better, and faster in today's global environment.
