Logistics Technology Gap Assessment

Take the assessment

What’s Your Logistics Maturity?

Five core areas can assess logistics maturity for shippers and identify gaps. Take our brief, five-question quiz to see how your processes stack up – and how you can improve to see better results.

Visibility

What visibility do you have to your shipments?

Reactive; we are blind to our shipment status but hope it arrives on time.

Semi-proactive; we can track shipments with manual check calls.

Very proactive; we have real-time visibility to shipments and can manage exceptions before they occur.

How are your carriers performing?

Service

We leverage optimization techniques such as static/dynamic continuous moves, multi-shipper collaboration and consolidation.

Our network could probably be more efficient but we don't know where to start.

Not sure, this hasn't been a primary focus.

Is your transportation network optimized to balance cost and service?

Network Efficiency

No, we have visibility to total cost and implement strategies to reduce it.

Yes, we are blowing through our budget due to rising freight rates and tight capacity.

Not sure, we don't have visibility to total cost.
