The Benefits of a Technology-Driven Forwarder

Written by Shippabo | Jan 30,2024

The economic effects resulting from a parade of ongoing disruptions in recent times – from pandemic and geopolitical instability to supply bottlenecks, climate change and labor shortages -  have exposed many supply chain vulnerabilities. As a result, supply chain managers are routinely facing challenges to keep products moving in this fast-paced environment where change is the norm.

💽 Data that Delivers Results

A key factor in building a resilient and predictable supply chain is the adoption of smart technologies that provide dynamic visibility of your supply chain – from factory to final delivery -  for your organization, your partners and suppliers. Companies are increasingly using visibility software to track their freight, and leverage exception alerts to identify risk, but key to success is an integrated single source of truth that is updated in real-time, and that can deliver exceptional data insights and predictive analytics that let you identify potential disruptions on-the-fly.
