Just like nature, every industry has specific seasons, marked by high levels of demand or relative quiet and operational downtime. Though the shipping industry has been in a state of constant flux and disruption over the past few years — driven by the pandemic and growing popularity of e-commerce — there are certain long-familiar industry patterns which remain intact to this day.

Companies like Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash are impacting last-mile delivery in previously unseen ways, like improving delivery speed, enhancing driver flexibility, and providing advanced tracking.

Amid the fast pace of today’s logistics and transportation market, shippers are under increasing pressure to enhance efficiency and control costs.

Shippers are caught in the middle of this upheaval, required to adapt quickly while maintaining profits. In this environment, embracing digital transformation is essential for shippers to remain competitive.

Shipping expenses can silently erode your profit margins. Particularly for businesses with an online footprint, navigating the complex logistics landscape and enduring carrier rate hikes requires shippers to stay vigilant. This intricate web of challenges often leaves shippers yearning for a roadmap to escape the expense-laden wilderness.
