The modern supply chain continues to seek more cost savings and greater transparency and efficiency in all processes. While large, centralized systems have been created to manage the flow of goods and data, a single problem remains. This data can be changed from its original form, causing some to feel the supply chain is not being fully transparent with supplier, manufacturing and logistics processes.

Is The Freight Industry Ready For SOLAS? In the run up to the July 1, 2016 requirement that there must now be a verification of the gross mass of packed containers, Freightos research has determined that only one third (36%) of FCL freight quotes are still being saved with a weight. This new Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS) rule amendment aims to reduce incidents involving containers on board ships, because incorrect declarations of the weight of packed containers is often a contributing

The benefits of outsourcing logistics processes to a third-party logistics provider (3PL) are well documented. As the world’s economy has become increasingly complex, it has become impossible for a single entity to control all of the warehousing, transportation and administrative tasks that come with shipping and managing inventory. For this reason, more companies are turning to 3PLs to help with cost reductions and overall management of supply chain processes.

Smart logistics management involves efficient coordination of staff and materials spread across multiple locations. Sometimes they are at great distances from each other. This is a recipe for confusion, waste, and a general lack of transparency. This can be avoided if logistics organizations are efficient with their client and materials management. Adopting a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) management model keeps communication between work sites simple, prevents problems from being addressed mult

Freightos CEO, Zvi Schreiber, recently dubbed 2016 as the “ year that the freight industry goes online.” Some freight services, like rate quoting, have now reached the tipping point. On Freightos, for instance, forwarders and shippers can create a freight quote in 30 seconds. Other freight services have already passed the tipping point, fleet tracking, for instance, spearheaded by freight technology companies like Track Your Truck.

I have advocated over and over that the idea of getting better rates because you are a "favored" or "preferred" shipper is a red herring. The idea that a trucking company will take less in profit because you are preferred just does not make sense. In the environment of rate reductions and over capacity I am sure shippers are starting to hear the same old mantra from the trucking companies: "Stick with us and pay higher than market rates.

Less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping is one of the most efficient ways to move shipments when you cannot justify the cost of a full truckload. Unfortunately, shippers may be losing money on LTL shipping if they do not know how to maximize efficiency and cost-effectiveness in each shipment. According to Joe Lynch , shippers face many challenges and problems in LTL shipping.

Companies use asset utilization to track their efficiency over time. While there are several ways to calculate asset utilization, it's most often determined by dividing a company's revenue by its average total sales. Perhaps more importantly, this can tell you whether you are getting a good return on your investments or whether you are wasting investments in your business.

I was an "early adopter" of how important this segment was to the overall logistics network moving products to customers.

Heck, ten years ago, two of China’s biggest ecommerce platforms – Tmall and JD – didn’t even exist, and Taobao was nothing close to the giant sales behemoth that it is today. But at the Global Smart Logistics Summit on 13 Jun 2016, Alibaba founder Jack Ma said that the real advances in China have been in logistics, not ecommerce.
