SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT

LOGISTICS PLANNER

f the “new normal” has taught industry anything, it’s that flexibility is compul- sory in today’s environment. Everywhere you look, forces at play threaten to tip the scales and derail even the most resilient supply chains. Whether it’s accounting for potential labor strife, insulating against natural disasters, confronting regulatory barriers, accessing capacity, or managing inven- tory against uncertain demand, shippers are challenged with finding balance within their organization as they optimize their cost-to-serve. Partnering with the right carrier, technology or provider is one important way you can marshal your supply chain to act as a force equalizer – multiplier even – and tackle these challenges head-on while enhancing velocity and service to your customers. Logistics practitioners turn to transportation and logistics intermediaries for countless rea- sons: to variabilize cost structures, divest non-core business functions, execute supply chain strategies, avert risk, tap new technologies, and manage growth without capital investment. In different ways, supply chain partners can help you replace inventory with information, increase visibility, and more effectively match demand signals to supply.
