<p>Inefficiencies in supply chains will not improve on their own anytime soon. Just recently, <a href="https://www.economy.com/economicview/analysis/386274" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Moody's Analytics issued an advisory</a> to its clients saying, "supply-chain headaches show no sign of subsiding." In December, Goldman Sachs analysts told their clients they <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/25/business/supply-chain-ports-inflation/index.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">expect bottlenecks in supply chains in 2023</a>.    </p> <p>Nearly every business is suffering impacts in one way or another. While you can't solve port problems, speed up container turn-around times, improve drayage trucking capacity, or open up new warehouse space quickly—there are things you can do to improve your capacity and access to carriers in 2022. <br><br></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span class="hs-cta-wrapper" id="hs-cta-wrapper-f6bed7d4-4f73-4949-8fc1-260ccfdfee4b"><span class="hs-cta-node hs-cta-f6bed7d4-4f73-4949-8fc1-260ccfdfee4b" id="hs-cta-f6bed7d4-4f73-4949-8fc1-260ccfdfee4b"><a href="https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2811194/f6bed7d4-4f73-4949-8fc1-260ccfdfee4b" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="hs-cta-img" id="hs-cta-img-f6bed7d4-4f73-4949-8fc1-260ccfdfee4b" style="border-width:0px;" height="240" width="600" src="https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2811194/f6bed7d4-4f73-4949-8fc1-260ccfdfee4b.png" alt="New call-to-action"></a></span><script charset="utf-8" src="/hs/cta/cta/current.js"></script><script type="text/javascript"> hbspt.cta._relativeUrls=true;hbspt.cta.load(2811194, 'f6bed7d4-4f73-4949-8fc1-260ccfdfee4b', {"useNewLoader":"true","region":"na1"}); </script></span></p></span></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row-fluid-wrapper row-depth-1 row-number-5 dnd-section dnd_area-row-4-force-full-width-section dnd_area-row-4-padding dnd_area-row-4-vertical-alignment"> <div class="row-fluid "> <div class="span12 widget-span widget-type-custom_widget dnd-module dnd_area-module-5-vertical-alignment" style="" data-widget-type="custom_widget" data-x="0" data-w="12"> <div id="hs_cos_wrapper_dnd_area-module-5" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_module" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="module"> <div id="" class="hhs-flexi-card-mod lazy-background show-mobile show-tablet show-desktop "> <div class="container " style=""> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg col-md-4"> <a href="#critical"> <div class="hhs-flexi-card"> <div class="hhs-card-content"> <h4>Carriers Access is Critical</h4> <h5></h5> <i class="fas fa-chevron-down hhs-arrow-down "></i> </div> </div> </a> </div> <div class="col-lg col-md-4"> <a href="#access"> <div class="hhs-flexi-card"> <div class="hhs-card-content"> <h4>Increase Your Access to Carriers</h4> <h5></h5> <i class="fas fa-chevron-down hhs-arrow-down "></i> </div> </div> </a> </div> <div class="col-lg col-md-4"> <a href="#manage"> <div class="hhs-flexi-card"> <div class="hhs-card-content"> <h4>Managing Stakeholder Expectations</h4> <h5></h5> <i class="fas fa-chevron-down hhs-arrow-down "></i> </div> </div> </a> </div> <div class="col-lg col-md-4"> <a href="#fires"> <div class="hhs-flexi-card"> <div class="hhs-card-content"> <h4>Stop Putting Out Fires - Get Organized</h4> <h5></h5> <i class="fas fa-chevron-down hhs-arrow-down "></i> </div> </div> </a> </div> <div class="col-lg col-md-4"> <a href="#leverage"> <div class="hhs-flexi-card"> <div class="hhs-card-content"> <h4>Leverage Data and Analytics</h4> <h5></h5> <i class="fas fa-chevron-down hhs-arrow-down "></i> </div> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <span class="hhs-row-overlay"></span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row-fluid-wrapper row-depth-1 row-number-6 dnd-section dnd_area-row-5-max-width-section-centering dnd_area-row-5-padding dnd_area-row-5-vertical-alignment"> <div class="row-fluid "> <div class="span12 widget-span widget-type-custom_widget dnd-module dnd_area-module-6-vertical-alignment" style="" data-widget-type="custom_widget" data-x="0" data-w="12"> <div id="hs_cos_wrapper_dnd_area-module-6" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_module widget-type-rich_text" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="module"><span id="hs_cos_wrapper_dnd_area-module-6_" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_rich_text" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="rich_text"><div id="warehousefunctionality"> <div id="thesavingspotentialinauditingcarrierinvoices"><a id="critical" data-hs-anchor="true"></a> <h2 data-section-title-clean="thesavingspotentialinauditingcarrierinvoices">Carrier Access Is Critical</h2> </div> <p>You can’t move freight without carrier access.

They're stacking containers outside and increasing wait and dwell times for truckers, reducing capacity.<br><br></p> <h3>Getting Your Shipments Out and Inbounds In</h3> <p>Because of these factors, rate sensitivity is not paramount right now. Making sure you get deliveries to customers on time within predictable windows matters.</p> <p>Customers know there are supply chain issues. It's in the news almost daily, but that doesn't mean they are happy about it. A survey from Oracle showed some 87% of consumers report negative supply chain impacts. One survey result, in particular, that should worry every shipper: <span style="font-weight: bold;">80% of consumers say delays and shortages are causing them </span><a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/survey-82-of-americans-scared-that-supply-chain-issues-will-ruin-their-life-plans-301387373.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">to cut</span> ties with their favorite brands</a>.</p> <p>Consumers may be willing to absorb some price adjustments, but if you cannot get them the goods they want — when they want them — you are at risk of losing them.<br><br></p> <blockquote> <p style="padding-left: 40px; font-weight: normal; text-align: right;"><i>“The supply chain has become a critical part of people's purchasing decisions.<br><br>Organizations that don't prioritize their supply chains risk declines in customer loyalty and revenue" <br><br>- </i><span style="color: #a3c950;">Oracle Consumer Survey, Sept 2021  </span></p> </blockquote> <h4 style="font-weight: normal;"> </h4> <h3>How Carriers Are Responding</h3> <p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/interactive/2021/supply-chain-issues/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Carriers are also becoming picky</a> about what freight they will carry. They are turning down shipments for heavier products that increase fuel costs or require significant price adjustments.</p> <p>One of the reasons ports have such a buildup of empty containers is that many importers are declining to send containers inland to collect experts. Due to higher eastbound freight rates, it's more profitable to send them back to Asia.</p> <p>As carriers and brokers work to optimize loads, many have flipped their business models. Some now demand more stringent and faster payment terms, longer-term engagements, and more flexible pricing.

Rather than relying on traditional consensus forecasts, create a unified forecast model based on historical data, seasonable adjustments, and macroeconomic information. Then, adjust based on current supply chain trends and load ratios.</p> <p>According to a study in the Harvard Business Review, consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies that shifted their demand and capacity planning to more efficiently manage their supply chain saw <a href="https://hbr.org/2021/09/a-simpler-way-to-modernize-your-supply-chain" rel="noopener" target="_blank">forecasts improve by 95-97%</a>.

Nodjoumi suggests:<br><br></p> <blockquote> <p style="font-weight: normal; text-align: right;"><span style="color: #98cc34;"><em>“Start your RFP processes earlier than you normally would. And, make sure you are doing at least quarterly business reviews with all of your carriers in order to see what additional challenges are coming.”</em></span></p> </blockquote> <p><br>It's also worth reviewing your current RFPs. There have been a significant number of carriers that committed to RFPs that are no longer able to meet demand. Just because you have an agreement in place doesn't mean the carrier will deliver.</p> <p>In the fall of 2021, the <a href="https://www.dat.com/industry-trends/trendlines" rel="noopener" target="_blank">load-to-truck ratio</a> hit its highest point since 2018.

Steps you take now to improve your operations can help you optimize for the current conditions and be even more efficient when things do settle down.</p> <p style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Diversify Your Carrier Network</p> <p>Carriers are dealing with capacity issues by emphasizing network optimization and yield management to maximize profitability. Many are re-evaluating the mix and types of loads they are accepting. Based on this optimization, some shippers report carriers are sending signals that their freight may not fit in their network in the future.</p> <p>Shippers need to diversify their carrier network in the same way they have diversified their supply chain. When demand is tight, you need multiple resources that can provide capacity.</p> <p>Diversifying your carrier network is not a quick fix. Many carriers aren’t responding to new RFPs from shippers because they lack the capacity for fulfillment. This means building relationships and exploring new opportunities before they are needed. In today’s email and online world, human contact can make a difference.</p> <p><img src="https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/digitize%20freight.png?width=700&name=digitize%20freight.png" alt="digitize freight" width="700" style="width: 700px; display: block; margin: 20px auto;" srcset="https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/digitize%20freight.png?width=350&name=digitize%20freight.png 350w, https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/digitize%20freight.png?width=700&name=digitize%20freight.png 700w, https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/digitize%20freight.png?width=1050&name=digitize%20freight.png 1050w, https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/digitize%20freight.png?width=1400&name=digitize%20freight.png 1400w, https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/digitize%20freight.png?width=1750&name=digitize%20freight.png 1750w, https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/digitize%20freight.png?width=2100&name=digitize%20freight.png 2100w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px"></p> <p style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;"><br>Digitizing and Modernizing Systems</p> <p>Consider <a href="https://blog.freightpop.com/leverage-your-tms-data-and-start-making-better-decisions-today?hsLang=en" rel="noopener">modernizing your Transportation Management System</a> and streamlining your processes to create better and more efficient systems.</p> <p>The right TMS can significantly<a href="https://www.industrynet.com/blog/how-manufacturers-can-leverage-tms-data" rel="noopener" target="_blank"> improve your operations</a> in several ways:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Resource efficiency: </strong>If you don’t know when raw materials and supplies are coming in, you can’t make good decisions about meeting commitments with your customers. Capacity planning begins with accurately forecasting demand to order and receive the needed products or materials.   </li> <li><strong>Vendor evaluations: </strong>If you have to rush materials due to poor planning or supply chain congestion, the increased costs for shipping can significantly eat into profits. A TMS will also give you reporting on total landed costs, so you have insight into what<strong> suppliers are costing you in terms of goods, products, and shipping.</strong></li> <li><strong>Visibility on inbound and outbound products: </strong>Real-time data allows you to pinpoint precisely where your products are, so you can forecast and plan more accurately. Historical data enables you to look back and <a href="https://blog.freightpop.com/how-prescriptive-analytics-helps-you-manage-your-logistics-better?utm_source=mni&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=mni&hsLang=en" rel="noopener" target="_blank">find out how you can do better</a> next time around.</li> </ul> <p>With real-time visibility into every aspect of your shipping, you can streamline your entire procurement and delivery process.<br><br></p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #a3c950;">What to Look for in a Transportation Management System</span></h3> <p>To properly evaluate your current (or future) TMS solution, there are several key things you should look for.</p> <p style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Flexibility and Functionality</p> <p>First, any Transportation Management System you consider should work with your current carriers and negotiate rates. When you renegotiate rates, it should automatically update in real-time to carrier servers.</p> <p>You also want a system that works in the cloud to allow access to your data regardless of where team members are working. It should allow for multiple users, locations, and scalable freight accounts.</p> <p>Finally, you want to ensure it will integrate with your internal systems and any third-party providers you use.</p> <p style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">An All-in-One System</p> <p>Too many shippers still rely on a mix of systems to conduct business. It’s inefficient. You want a TMS that will <a href="/freight-shipping?hsLang=en" rel="noopener" target="_blank">handle all of your shipping needs</a>, including:</p> <ul> <li>Parcel</li> <li>FTL</li> <li>LTL</li> <li>Intermodal</li> <li>Air Freight</li> <li>International Air Freight/Freight Forwarders</li> <li>Ocean</li> </ul> <p>Your TMS provider needs to facilitate efficient routing and shipping across multiple carriers and modes.</p> <p style="font-weight: bold;">Learn more about what to look for in a TMS by referring to our <a href="/transportation-management-buyers-guide?hsLang=en" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Buyer's Guide to Transportation Management Systems</a>.</p> <p style="font-weight: bold;"><img src="https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/warehouse%20tms%20computer.png?width=700&name=warehouse%20tms%20computer.png" alt="warehouse tms computer" width="700" loading="lazy" style="width: 700px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;" srcset="https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/warehouse%20tms%20computer.png?width=350&name=warehouse%20tms%20computer.png 350w, https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/warehouse%20tms%20computer.png?width=700&name=warehouse%20tms%20computer.png 700w, https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/warehouse%20tms%20computer.png?width=1050&name=warehouse%20tms%20computer.png 1050w, https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/warehouse%20tms%20computer.png?width=1400&name=warehouse%20tms%20computer.png 1400w, https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/warehouse%20tms%20computer.png?width=1750&name=warehouse%20tms%20computer.png 1750w, https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/warehouse%20tms%20computer.png?width=2100&name=warehouse%20tms%20computer.png 2100w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px"></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="#top" rel="nofollow noopener">BACK TO TOP</a><br><br></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span class="hs-cta-wrapper" id="hs-cta-wrapper-df2cd993-7c5c-491f-b38e-3332458dc4fe"><span class="hs-cta-node hs-cta-df2cd993-7c5c-491f-b38e-3332458dc4fe" id="hs-cta-df2cd993-7c5c-491f-b38e-3332458dc4fe"><a href="https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2811194/df2cd993-7c5c-491f-b38e-3332458dc4fe" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="hs-cta-img" id="hs-cta-img-df2cd993-7c5c-491f-b38e-3332458dc4fe" style="border-width:0px;" src="https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2811194/df2cd993-7c5c-491f-b38e-3332458dc4fe.png" alt="DOWNLOAD THE WHITEPAPER"></a></span><script charset="utf-8" src="/hs/cta/cta/current.js"></script><script type="text/javascript"> hbspt.cta._relativeUrls=true;hbspt.cta.load(2811194, 'df2cd993-7c5c-491f-b38e-3332458dc4fe', {"useNewLoader":"true","region":"na1"}); </script></span></p> </div></span></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row-fluid-wrapper row-depth-1 row-number-10 dnd_area-row-9-max-width-section-centering dnd-section dnd_area-row-9-padding dnd_area-row-9-vertical-alignment"> <div class="row-fluid "> <div class="span12 widget-span widget-type-custom_widget dnd_area-module-10-vertical-alignment dnd-module" style="" data-widget-type="custom_widget" data-x="0" data-w="12"> <div id="hs_cos_wrapper_dnd_area-module-10" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_module widget-type-rich_text" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="module"><span id="hs_cos_wrapper_dnd_area-module-10_" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_rich_text" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="rich_text"><div id="customermanagement"> <div id="inshort"><a id="leverage" data-hs-anchor="true"></a> <h2 data-section-title-clean="inshort">Leverage Data and Analytics</h2> </div> <p>When you have the right systems in place, leveraging data, analytics, and automation can make your entire operations run more smoothly.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #a3c950;">Workflow Automation</span></h3> <p>Modern Transportation Management Systems can automate many of the routine tasks done manually. Not only does it create more efficiency and relieve you of many of the monotonous everyday tasks, but it also reduces error rates.</p> <p>Automation can handle things like:</p> <ul> <li>Comparing rate quotes</li> <li>Batch shipping</li> <li>Centralized tracking</li> <li>Internal and external communications, alerts, and notifications</li> </ul> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #a3c950;"><br>Manage Carrier Performance Ratings</span></h3> <p>Poor carrier compliance and performance can produce both direct and indirect costs. It can hurt your margins, damage your reputation, and frustrate your customers.</p> <p>We see significant changes in carrier performance ratings amid the supply chain chaos. Ratings can change daily, and even previously dependable carriers may sometimes stumble. You need to know historical performance and updated carrier scorecards to make sure you are protecting your business. Carrier Performance Reports can provide instant ratings to help improve your confidence levels when doing business with shippers.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #a3c950;"><br>Identify Waste and Spending Inaccuracies</span></h3> <p>Carriers don't always invoice the right amounts. From minor carriers to the big players, invoice exceptions happen. Shipments are delayed, items are lost in transit, or incorrect rates are applied.</p> <p>Small to medium-sized businesses tend to skip invoice auditing altogether. It's not easy to quickly compare quotes to rates, especially when doing it at volume. You need to be able to<a href="/freight-auditing-software?hsLang=en" rel="noopener" target="_blank"> audit invoices efficiently</a> to check things like:</p> <ul> <li>Matching POs and invoices</li> <li>Check contracted rates and discounts</li> <li>Identify duplicate charges</li> <li>Highlight rate errors and accessorial fees</li> </ul> <p>You also need an easy way to diagnose errors such as misquotes or inaccurate invoices so you can correct them quickly and look for patterns of behavior.</p> <p>A good TMS solution should also provide a lowest quote shipping compliance report, which helps to ensure the best rates are being used. And if they are not, management can readily investigate if there are justifiable reasons or if team members require further training.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #a3c950;"><br>Other Date and Analytics Use Cases</span></h3> <p>There are other ways you can leverage data and analytics to improve your operations, including:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Network analytics</strong>: Run different optimization strategies, such as assessing the impact of lowering your carbon footprint on pricing.</li> <li><strong>LTL, backhaul, and delivery runs</strong>: <a href="/logistics-supply-chain-analytics?hsLang=en" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Prescriptive analytics</a> can help match LTL shipments or backhauls to maximize volume in trucks.</li> </ul> <p>Things will eventually get back to normal (eventually). Modernizing your TMS solution — and embracing a data-driven culture —lets you compete smarter with access to the business intelligence you need to make better decisions.</p> <p><img src="https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/supply%20chain-1.png?width=700&name=supply%20chain-1.png" alt="supply chain-1" width="700" loading="lazy" style="width: 700px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;" srcset="https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/supply%20chain-1.png?width=350&name=supply%20chain-1.png 350w, https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/supply%20chain-1.png?width=700&name=supply%20chain-1.png 700w, https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/supply%20chain-1.png?width=1050&name=supply%20chain-1.png 1050w, https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/supply%20chain-1.png?width=1400&name=supply%20chain-1.png 1400w, https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/supply%20chain-1.png?width=1750&name=supply%20chain-1.png 1750w, https://www.freightpop.com/hs-fs/hubfs/supply%20chain-1.png?width=2100&name=supply%20chain-1.png 2100w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px"></p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #a3c950;"><br>Conclusion</span></h3> <p>Many experts claim we could be well into 2023 or further before supply chains return to normal—if there isn't another global event that impacts the supply chain.</p> <p>Shippers can no longer wait to make changes to their systems and processes, hoping things get better on their own.
