Many benchmarks must be met to ensure timely delivery of imported products. There are also many critical barriers that affect the movement and cost of freight. Issues such as port congestion, capacity constraints, infrastructure challenges, fuel prices and driver shortages continue to rise as the trend to import more products increases.
Radical shifts in transportation, international logistics, and supply chain management have formed as the level of international trade continues to rise. Many small business owners and supply chain professionals are scrambling to find the most effective solutions for their company.
Some companies have the resources to manage supply chain logistics in-house. Others sort through and try to select the latest and greatest freight forwarding software, but still may have to deal with keeping abreast of regulations, security issues and navigate cultural issues. Others simply choose to outsource the process to the professionals experienced in freight management.
Most companies have seen their logistics expenditures rise at a sharp pace. This is due largely to the soaring prices in fuel. The trucking industry has been hit hard, and costs have been compounded by a shortage of drivers. Consolidation continues to effect the entire shipping industry.
