In simple terms, cargo shipping can be viewed as shipping something from point A to point B. In reality, there is much more involved to make this transport happen smoothly. Shippers and forwarders in the 3PL west coast space have considerations such as keeping up with competitors, managing costs, and navigating all possible routing options that exist (which are often many). Additionally, managing key contracts, global alliances, cargo security, and high-risk scenarios requires end-to-end visibility to facilitate smooth A to B transit. 

Ultimately, the ability to manage cargo shipping effectively falls on the use of technology and relying on your partnerships forged via global alliances. Business intelligence tools allow insights on customer trends that are invaluable in today’s ever-changing shipping landscape. Utilizing a global network of alliances can help you fulfill your commodity and cargo requirements as these partnerships promote scalability.
