Unlocking Value: Is your 3PL Making the Right Investments to Help You?

Unlocking Value: Is your 3PL Making the Right Investments to Help You?

In this session, ITS Logistics CCO Josh Allen and guests discuss industry highlights, where shippers can find the most value from innovation and assets, and how a modern 3PL model can benefit shippers.

The last several years have challenged what it truly means to be a modern logistics provider. Supply chain disruptions and a flood of venture capital created a boom in freight tech—with some innovations being better than others. At the same time, economic headwinds and an oversaturation of capacity created tough times for asset-only providers and challenged traditional logistics business models. Modern 3PLs have had to adapt, combining investments in innovation and assets to maximize value for shippers. In this session, ITS Logistics CCO Josh Allen and guests will discuss industry highlights, where shippers can find the most value from innovation and assets, and how a modern 3PL model can benefit shippers.

Proactive management of today's complex supply chains is inherent with multiple challenges—integrating multiple data sources, external interruptions, and carrier delays.
