The supply chain as we used to know it is changing – and these changes are impacting not only retailers, but a variety of businesses and industries. An increasing number of businesses that never had to worry much about shipping are finding themselves competing with experienced and emerging retailers.

A highlight of the annual Gartner Supply Chain Executive Conference is the release of the top 25 supply chain list that ranks the best supply chains. (BTW, it was satisfying to see that 50% of the companies on the 2016 list work with APICS!) Winning an award presents a great opportunity to do some marketing, and that got me thinking that supply chain organizations should do more to market themselves.

Spot market freight showed signs of renewed life last week, even though rates slipped lower compared to the week before last. The good news: average van rates were higher in July than in June, which is not the usual trend.

With data playing an ever increasing role in supply chain, Eye for Transport teamed up with project44 to explore EDI – a technology that has been a core part of how carriers, shippers and 3PLs transmit and share data since 1970.
