For many companies transportation of goods is the highest operational supply chain expense. It is not uncommon that transportation costs represent 50% or more of the supply chain spend. Despite transportation rates being volatile, the all-time low prices over the last years will not be the standard for the future. For example the annual gross rate increase (GRI) from 2018 to 2019 in European road freight was 6%.

“How to manage and keep control over the transportation capacity and costs?” is a topic on the radar of many logistics, supply chain and finance professionals! There are transport monitors on the market which have a rear view mirror but lack predictive insights towards the future.

This webinar will provide both insights in historical as well as expected future freight rate developments. The BCI Transportation Monitor will enable supply chain and procurement professionals to develop and adjust their procurement strategy and tactics.

Questions which will be answered during the webinar:

  • What is the right moment for a (global) transport RFQ?
  • Which lanes to tender and which lanes to maintain ‘as-is’ on freight agreements?
  • Should we focus on spot rates?
  • Are our transport rates “on par”?
