Freight transport management incorporates the forming of various strategies for increasing the efficiency of freight and commercial transport. Freight transport management focuses on reducing shipper costs while considering social costs such as congestion or pollution impacts. It helps the shippers to use the right mode of transportation. For instance, rail and water transport are highly efficient for long distances as compared to the use of trucks for the same. It helps in improving the routing and scheduling in order to increase load factors and reduce freight vehicle mileage. It helps in implementing fleet management programs that help in using optimal-sized vehicles for each trip, reduce vehicle mileage, and ensure that fleet vehicles are operated and maintained in ways that reduce external costs.
Transportation management systems play a central role in supply chains, affecting every part of the process from planning and procurement to logistics and lifecycle management. The broad and deep visibility afforded by a powerful system leads to more efficient transportation planning and execution, which results in higher customer satisfaction. That, in turn, leads to more sales, helping businesses grow. With such a dynamic global trade environment that we live and transact in, it is important to have a system that will allow you to successfully navigate complicated processes around trade policies and compliance.
