Inland Academy: TMS — How Does a Shipper Determine What They Need?
Over the past decade, there has been an explosion of logistics technology providers developing solutions aimed at the shipper market. These solutions invariably promise improved operational efficiencies and reduced costs. While we have witnessed impactful innovation delivered to the market, there are also ample examples of disappointing outcomes where the anticipated benefits are never realized. This is especially common when shippers did not perform the necessary upfront evaluation work. To avoid disappointment, shippers should employ a methodical and quantitative approach.
In this session, we will discuss 4 critical steps that shippers should use to ensure that the right logistics technologies are selected and deployed. These steps are:
1. Defining your desired future state
2. Quantification of anticipated benefits
3. Performing an internal readiness assessment
4. Executing a rigorous approach to vendor selection
The speaker will describe how this framework is used by enterprise shippers to generate positive and impactful outcomes.
