American Shipper has released a new report, based on research gathered by a survey of nearly 300 transportation managers on their international and cross-border transportation management systems, best practices, and processes. ITMS Benchmark Study: Technology Meets the Challenge of an Unanticipated Freight Volume Rebound takes a look at how successful firms are managing international transportation, and looks for emerging trends that will develop in the near future.
Key focus areas in the study include:
- The number – or “patchwork” – of systems leading firms are using to manage ITMS
- The business benefits of connecting the procure-to-pay cycle
- The increased volumes ITMS users were able to handle in 2010
- The increased visibility of successful ITMS users
