The Importance of AI-Enabled Carrier Sourcing and Real-Time Visibility

Whether trying to meet on-time in-full (OTIF) delivery standards set by customers, avoiding manufacturing line disruptions due to inbound delivery delays, avoiding dock door disruptions and yard congestion, or simply maintaining good customer service, carrier visibility is critical in the continuing success of shippers and brokerages alike. Simply put, the value of visibility is not limited to tracking freight.

Visibility around carrier capacity and the ability to secure trucks to cover loads is becoming more of a challenge through the second half of 2020. The United States is experiencing carrier tender rejection rates not seen since 2018. Loss of capacity through spring 2020—coupled with a recovering economy and ongoing challenges with an aging driver population—is making it more of a challenge to find carriers to cover loads.

During this webinar, presented by FreightWaves in partnership with Descartes Systems Group, we will explore current and near-term challenges in visibility and capacity sourcing to help you get your carrier network ready by:

• • Improving visibility to increase customer retention and satisfaction
• • Leveraging carrier sourcing solutions to support growth in the coming capacity crunch
• • Finding carriers to cover loads more quickly and maximizing visibility to drive margins
