Implementing a technology solution that is constantly evolving can help mitigate issues quickly while satisfying increased B2B customer demands in OTR shipping. For tasks such as requesting rates or tracking shipments, automated technology can create operational efficiencies and eliminate manual methods that may lead to human error or demand hours of costly manpower.
Determining Best Mode for Shipments: Having the ability to consider all modes for all shipments is essential to compare and choose the method that works best for your shipping needs. What works for one may not work for another. Even more valuable is being able to determine that in one screen, saving both time and money.
Open Up the Savings Possibilities with an Evolving Digital Solution
The Journal of Commerce is reporting that the Truckload U.S. producer price index (PPI) fell 1.5% and is down 5.1% from its March peak and the LTL PPI fell 4.7% from July, following a revised 3.9% drop that month, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This can open up the possibilities for shipping freight cost-effectively in this economy.
Find Value in the Supply Chain and Augment Efficiency
Without dramatically increasing costs, multi-mode technology solutions for OTR shipping provided by a partner with integrated capabilities helps deliver a clearer insight into shipping operations for all OTR modes, how they work, and the ability to evaluate which shipping methods work best.
The right partner will take the time to understand your business and proactively recommend cost-saving measures and changes to your shipping operations that will help minimize overspending and create a more efficient shipping strategy. A valuable technology provider adopts a client-centric approach, collaborates with clients, responds to feedback, and leads with a client-first approach to product development, service, and support.
Collaboration with clients is a critical component to a successful client-focused approach to product development. Leveraging client feedback helps the technology provider enhance their platform and improve its functionality to respond to the clients’ changing needs.
