Think of everything that is happening outside the four walls of any shipper, manufacturer, or distributor. A transportation management system (TMS) acts as the information hub for all things transport related, as well as the software that handles rating, mode and carrier selection, tendering, track and trace, and freight auditing. Logistics service providers (LSPs) also.

The low rates that triggered Hanjin’s bankruptcy in 2017 quickly became a thing of the past, as surging demand, congestion, and a litany of global shipping catastrophes pushed ocean freight rates into the stratosphere. Uncertainty became the byword. Freight professionals – whether at freight forwarders, BCOs or carriers – were left wondering what tomorrow would bring.

Why do we build logistics models? This is obviously a rhetorical question. But I ask it because modeling often takes a detour into the land of debilitating detail. And by debilitating, I mean an enormous analytical time sink — think months. I am often asking clients whether they wish to: A) Model the precise general ledger costs for logistics? or. B) Make a well-researched decision?
