90 Seconds: Is Transportation Management Right for You?

On a scale of 1 (not an issue) to 5 (serious problem). Please choose one as it relates to transportation.

1. Finding new ways to gain recognition from our customers for outstanding performance.  *This question is required.
2. Identifying easy to implement solutions that improve workflows between departments. For example, accounting, sales, customer service, and procurement all rely on the shipping office for data. They often have to go without or wait because shipping is busy.  *This question is required.
3. Letting go of the "day to day" out of fear that it will not be handled the way "I would handle it".  *This question is required.
4. Making better transportation decisions based off data.   *This question is required.
5. Following through with transportation goals. *This question is required.
6. Knowing where to start. There is so much noise from the transportation companies' marketing and sales teams that all promise savings or competitive advantage, its tough to cut through it all.  *This question is required.
7. Implementing changes that I know could save money. Like, managing the inbound freight.  *This question is required.
8. Capturing, identifying or managing unplanned expenses that show up in line item charges after the product has shipped.  *This question is required.
9. Building a weekly or even daily optimized shipment plan far enough in advance to reap the benefit.  *This question is required.
10. Communicating efficiently with external partners.  Still using phone or email to communicate shipment related information with carriers, vendors and customers.  *This question is required.
11. Realizing the sustainable savings through an RFP or other purchasing related activities.  *This question is required.
12. Using carriers that are both reliable and that meet our budgetary requirements.  *This question is required.
13. Permitting customer routed freight from our facility to negatively impact our warehouse operations.  *This question is required.
14. Establishing the core capabilities needed to run transportation effectively like visibility, order management, rating/carrier selection, spot rate bidding, tendering/booking and reporting.  *This question is required.
15. Finding the right time to change the way we manage transportation usually never happens.  There are too many other burning issues that are typically considered more important.  *This question is required.
