Key Takeaways: Shipper Pain Points  Brad Forester is the Founder and Managing Partner of JBF Consulting, which helps shippers of all sizes and across many industries select, implement and squeeze as much value as possible out of their logistics systems. In the podcast interview, Brad describes the 4 shipper pain points that he and the JBF team are hearing about from their customers who are large shippers. The ocean shipping delays caused by the pandemic has disrupted supply chains. These disruptions have prompted large shippers and 3PLs to seek ocean and port visibility solutions. Shippers are also looking for more small parcel and last mile solutions and the associated TMS system integrations. As shippers have come to realize big gain in transportation efficiency and effectiveness via technology, they are looking for additional freight tech solutions. Companies like Emerge (freight procurement) and Turvo (TMS and collaboration) have created solutions that are solving new problems for shippers. Some of the largest shippers were early adopters of freight technology like TMS. Many of these companies have been using TMS for long time, which mean they are using on-premise systems. As time goes on, TMS providers are trying to migrate these large shippers to the cloud, but given their huge shipping volumes and technology investments, the process is difficult, costly, and time-consuming. JBF Consulting works with shippers to solve the problems described above. Since JBF only works on logistics and supply chain technology, they have the expertise and experience to solve even the most difficult challenges.    Learn More About Shipper Pain Points Brad Forester Mike Mulqueen JBF Consulting Freight Tech Trends with Mike Mulqueen FreightTech for Fortune 500 Shippers with Brad Forester and Mike Mulqueen The Logistics of Logistics Podcast  If you enjoy the podcast, please leave a positive review, subscribe, and share it with your friends and colleagues.

JBF expedites the transformation of supply chains through logistics &amp; technology strategy, commercial &amp; bespoke software implementation, and analytics &amp; optimization. Key Takeaways: FreightTech for Fortune 500 Shippers  In the podcast, Brad and Mike explain the process they use for helping Fortune 500 shippers select and implement FreightTech. The process begins with a needs assessment, which is a systematic process for determining and addressing needs, or gaps between current conditions and desired conditions or wants. As part of the needs assessment, the following factors must be considered:  Strategic plan for the company to ensure that the technology selected works even if there are acquisitions or rapid growth in locations. Users and their geographic locations. Supply chain resiliency to mitigate potential supply chain disruptions, like COVID. Transportation services required including inbound, outbound, TL, LTL, small parcel, etc. Supply chain visibility. Payment, auditing, and freight claims. Understanding the vision and technology roadmap for potential technology providers to ensure alignment with the shipper.   From the needs assessment, a technology vendor is selected and the implementation begins. Implementing freight technology is potentially a high-risk project so a robust implementation framework is required. Custom integrations are typically required to connect systems. Experience and expertise in freight technology integration is a big plus.  The return on investment (ROI) only happens only after the "go live" so Brad and Mike emphasize the importance of the stewardship phase. During the stewardship phase, the team focuses on user adoption, improvement, and maintenance.
