In today’s fast-paced global economy, shippers are constantly looking for ways to improve both efficiency and reliability in their supply chains. A prime focus for many of these shippers looking to optimize their operations is the area of inbound cargo – the movement of goods from ports and other entry points to inland distribution centers for processing, storage, and distribution to end customers. This stage of the shipping process provides one of the best opportunities to reduce duplicative “touches” and “multiple points of contact” – to minimize the number of times cargo is handled during its journey.
The more parties involved, the more handling your cargo will experience, which adds time, cost, and risk to your supply chain. Reducing these touch points can go a long way toward creating a more efficient supply chain.
