Customers’ heightened demands—such as white glove delivery and fast shipping times—have changed expectations for shippers dramatically. Many companies are struggling to figure out how to compete with large, successful companies like Amazon, who have raised the bar for shipping excellence. In addition, shippers and third-party logistics (3PL) providers must deal with a highly fragmented carrier market, often working with multiple carriers in any given market to meet special demands. In addition, maintaining communication across these relationships is a struggle, and gaining visibility across the shipping process only adds to the complexity of this landscape.
In light of these challenges, how are companies working to meet stringent shipping demands? How are they gaining full visibility into the shipping and delivery processes when multiple carriers are utilized from the time a product is shipped until it reaches its final destination? And finally, how are companies maintaining compliance and accessing all of the data they need in order to get a full picture of the shipping journey?
To discuss these issues and more, FreightWaves will be partnering with eTrac to host an hour-long webinar on Thursday, May 23 at 2pm ET. Join us as we hear insights from Danny Barfield, Executive Vice President for eTrac, who will discuss how companies can work to:
• Build out successful final mile processes
• Save time and money through a single point of data integration
• Maximize visibility and improve communication throughout the shipping process
