For the past quarter-century, the Third-Party Logistics Study has examined industry trends that matter. The 2021 3PL Study explores topics that are top-of-mind in today’s supply chain: 3PL/4PL future direction; technology’s direct impact on scalability and mobility; the COVID-19 effect; and risk management.
The study is created and supported by Infosys Consulting, Penn State University and Penske Logistics. The 2021 version, as well as past editions, are accessible at www.3PLStudy.com for download at no cost.    |
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed supply chain vulnerabilities that exist in virtually every sector industry. It has demonstrated that even a small disruption in the intertwined, multifaceted modern supply chain can have dramatic effects.
In this Hot Topic, written by IBM Institute for Business Value, learn about the most effective strategies in navigating the correct responses to disruption. |
Due to the complexity of LTL shipments and its pricing structure you may be spending more than you need and missing out on valuable margin dollars for your business. Many companies don’t know how much they are truly spending and more importantly, how much they could potentially save. For small to mid-size companies that don’t have a Transportation Team on staff, effectively managing your supply chain is full of challenges. Our experience shows that if you are actively shipping multiple LTL shipments a day, the manual process can become quite daunting for your existing shipping group.

"I joined to learn about what other companies were experiencing, what solution they managed to implement and those results. Best place to collaborate. Attend every conference you can and select as many of the breakout sessions because you will lean more and obtain more information than any other educational training."

"I joined in 2000 based on people I knew in the local SoCal Roundtable. I was seeking to increase my engagement in the industry. CSCMP members should understand they will get back what they put into their membership as a multiple. Pick your spots, do fun stuff, meet people, and help push things forward. Career growth will happen indirectly once you become known as a contributor and establish yourself as a thought leader and team player. You may get your next job, or find that key employee (as I did) through CSCMP. Customers may find you. You will learn about areas adjacent to your primary field and that will deepen your knowledge base."

Like dominos falling in succession, the world’s 4th largest container transportation and shipping firm, CMA CGM, has become the latest casualty joining AP Moller-Maersk, MSC, and Chinese COSCO Shipping Lines on the growing list of Maritime cyber victims.

In this webinar, with Hunter Yaw of of Loadsmart and Fab Brasca of Blue Yonder, you’ll learn how to avoid overpaying for freight by building upon and optimizing your TMS, customize routing guides to mitigate high tender rejection – recently hovering at more than 25% nationally – and automate better and more profitable business decisions.
