E Pluribus Unum: The Unification of Transportation Management

By Talking Logistics

Transportation management is a collection of many elements: many carriers, many modes, many trading partners, many data elements stored in many systems. This fragmentation has made it difficult for shippers to manage their end-to-end transportation processes in an efficient manner and to achieve timely, accurate, and complete visibility to transportation activities and performance metrics. Advancements in technology, however, including APIs and enhanced user interfaces, are paving the way toward the unification of transportation management systems and processes.

In this episode, Josh Hunt, Director of Integration Software Systems at LeanLogistics, discusses the key developments enabling this unification and how it allows shippers to reach higher levels of performance and efficiency.
