In today’s world it appears that the transportation industry is under attack. The costs of fuel, materials, and maintenance are going up, while more restrictive regulations and taxes are being implemented state by state.  The cost of doing business has greatly increased.

The transportation industry is under tremendous pressure to perform while maintaining operations in a difficult climate. Companies must move goods from point A to point B in the face of unpredictable conditions. Many companies are racing to get goods delivered to gain a competitive advantage, while still trying to hold on to legacy systems. A lack of automation in the transportation industry can make weather, traffic prediction, and route planning difficult, leading to higher fuel costs and a loss of skilled staff.

While companies often perceive technology innovation to mean things like high-end robotics, artificial intelligence, and fully autonomous vehicles, there are many elements in the supply chain that can be modernized without requiring great effort or cost, while still providing the competitive edge.
