For businesses who operate a supply chain that ships freight nationwide, understanding the differences between shipping items to rural and urban markets is essential.

Analyzing where to invest in the supply chain can be a challenge. Shippers want to make sure that they’re getting the most out of their investments, but it’s not always easy to see what’s going to give the best ROI and what’s not.

When constructing your fulfillment strategy, you want to make sure that your customers are at the center of it. By doing so, you will have a supply chain that results in higher customer satisfaction, and more return business.

Protecting high value cargo is a priority for many logistics teams. Those who frequently ship and carry big ticket items know how important it is to make sure they reach their destination intact and without any damage.

Today’s supply chain is more complex than ever. Between emerging technologies and the entities that use them, there are many major players and methods of moving and tracking freight. Items must travel from manufacturers to warehouses, then to retail distributors and eventually brick-and-mortar stores.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is most commonly used within our industry to track the placement of products within warehouses. But more than that, RFID trackers allow companies to reduce cargo theft liabilities, track carrier performance and streamline day-to-day operations.
