Global Transportation Management Benchmark Study: Building the Business Case for Better Visibility

Published May 2014

American Shipper, in partnership with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) and the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), surveyed more than 200 shippers and third party logistics providers about their global transportation management processes, visibility, and technology.

The resulting Global Transportation Management Benchmark Study: Building the Business Case for Better Visibility examines how shippers and 3PLs view the bottom line benefits of visibility, the roadblocks in managing visibility and global transportation management systems, and whether funding is available to invest in new technology.

Key themes include:

  • The market’s evolving definition of visibility

  • Whether shippers are seeing ROI from visibility

  • The benefits and challenges of using a global transportation management system

  • The integration of global and domestic transportation management
