The transportation and distribution world is a rapidly changing landscape marked by unprecedented complexity. Increased global trade makes logistics supply chains even longer and more dynamic, and customer expectations continue to rise. Whether shipping from Chicago or Shanghai, companies must be able to collaborate more effectively with their key trading partners—carriers, suppliers, or customers—to drive maximum efficiencies while delivering world-class service. Consequently, organizations must consider these business processes more strategically and look for more refined and adaptable closed-loop solutions.

Companies in these segments have to be at the forefront of adopting new technologies that allow time-specific delivery and electronic tracking of cargo. For example, In-cab mobile computers and transponders, as well as satellites, are increasingly being used to monitor goods and vehicles efficiently. Additionally, the increased adoption of just-in-time inventory management by manufacturers is forcing the freight-transport industry to reshape and meet their demands.
