Shippers Seek New Strategies for Managing Transportation Procurement

In the past, shippers have the luxury of choosing their carriers when capacity was in abundance. With limited transportation supply, it has now swayed in favor of the carriers. Still all is not lost! The solution is to adopt a smart approach to transportation procurement in which the shippers can reduce costs, yet wield control over transportation. At the same time, they can insure a regular pool of quality carriers. One leading software expert believes the carriers, on the antagonistic end, will also go along with these “win-win” initiatives, as they understand what comes around goes around. As this is one industry where the client really is the king!
