Industry News and AdvocacyAs part of its continuing supply chain research, Penn State University, Infosys Consulting, Penske Logistics, and Korn Ferry would appreciate your participation in the 2019 23rd Annual Third Party Logistics Study. The bar has been raised for freight visibility. Shippers are demanding more precise information about the location and status of their shipments, and transportation and logistics providers said they are using multiple load-tracking platforms to collect and share that information. 3PLs are investing heavily in technology to deliver the freight visibility and business intelligence increasingly required by shippers. That conclusion is one of many in the recently released 2018 Freight Visibility Report from the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA), the organization representing the $185.7 billion third-party logistics industry.
