Transportation functions are key to the success of Manufacturers’ and Brand owners’ Supply Chain. Failure in its performance leads to immediate impact to your ability to service your customers.

Although the management of transportation has been on the agenda of the logistics team for decades, current developments require an increased focus. For example: shortage of drivers, CO2 neutral & electrical transport, increasing fuel prices, low Sulphur fuel for Ocean freight, e-commerce increase and related e-fulfillment solutions. These developments require a more structured approach on transport and carrier management.

  • How to improve visibility on your shipments?
  • Ways to optimize transportation through the supply chain
  • Effective ways to reduce your overall freight bill whilst increasing service
  • Could a Control Tower be the way forward?
  • Types of Control Towers and their potential value
  • Systems and processes to optimize transport management – key best practices
  • How to improve the quality of carrier agreements?
  • Putting in place standard checks around business rules
  • Functionalities & competencies required for the future
  • Maturity grid to assess the level of maturity of your transport (management) operations
