Transportation and Freight Management

Transportation is often an overlooked expense that is viewed as a necessary requirement to conduct business.  While that is true in the relative sense, there are numerous ways to lower costs throughout the value chain, increase product visibility in transit, while simultaneously improving customer service.  A synchronized supply chain plan that incorporates transportation has significant benefits.
