If you were unable to attend live, or just want to give it another watch, a recording of the webinar is now available on demand. Here’s a quick a sneak peek?? “There's this idea of “how do I know my contract carriers are going to come off on their primary tender acceptance, they've been fantastic for the last 18 months,” and absolutely give the benefit of the doubt. Trust, but then verify. And with tech like GoodShip, you can kind of see how those contract positions are behaving and performing and put yourself in position to have a very direct and transparent conversation with your trading partners so there aren't any surprises.” #freighttech #supplychainmanagement #logistics Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/gr475fZP

Industry Trends with Industry Friends!? This month, we got to hear from Ryan Soskin at GoodShip ?Question:? “What trends are you noticing, or what are you hearing most from your clients and prospects right now as to what their business will have to do to continue to grow sustainably through 2024 into 2025?” ??Answer:? “This prolonged period of declining truck prices, combined with uncertainty about 2025 rates, has highlighted that building a resilient transportation network requires awareness and agility in procurement strategies. While it's unrealistic for shippers to prepare for every scenario, having a clear understanding of network performance—spend, service, and contract compliance—and the ability to make real-time adjustments provides the flexibility needed to navigate what is an increasingly dynamic and unpredictable marketplace.” -Ryan Soskin, CEO, GoodShip Thanks for sharing your insights! #technology #innovation #logistics #supplychain #ai #transportation #networking #partnerships
