It’s no secret that today’s marketplaces have new challenges to navigate. More than ever, your transportation network should be designed to withstand volatility in operating conditions and reduce risk.
An experienced network of transportation control towers is a solution that can stabilize the transportation components of your supply chain throughout market changes and can help your business operate efficiently during challenging times.
Transportation Control Tower: Mission-Critical Oversight
With a transportation control tower solution, your business can effectively minimize delays and maximize the impact of performance data. Here’s how the control tower works.
A control tower network provides mission-critical oversight of carriers, vendors, freight audits and payments, claims, charge-back notifications and other processes. The network is managed by transportation experts who are trained in operations, analytics, procurement and customer service.
The function of the control tower is to design the optimal routes for your supply chain, determine the most efficient carriers and ensure that they perform at a high level. Lean-based analysis is applied to your shipping patterns to help identify areas for improvement and cost-saving opportunities.
The main strength of a transportation control tower is that it combines world-class transportation technology and seasoned professionals trained to have a mindset of continuous improvement. Instead of a software as a service (SaaS) solution, which is simply access to technology, the transportation control tower model gives you a one-stop-shop transportation network. Not only do you get the technology to run the solution—you also get the expert talent, along with a vetted carrier pool to cover your logistics requirements.
