Examining AI’s role in modernizing the freight procurement process | Trimble white paper

Are you still managing freight procurement with spreadsheets and guesswork? You’re not alone. The transportation and logistics industry is under immense pressure to increase efficiency and agility. Yet, many procurement teams are still bogged down by time-consuming manual processes, limited visibility and challenges accessing the data they need to make smart, strategic decisions. This reliance on outdated methods is creating a significant gap between what companies want to achieve and what they're currently capable of.

To better understand this challenge, we teamed up with Adrian Gonzalez, logistics expert and host of the Talking Logistics podcast, to survey supply chain executives about how they’re sourcing capacity, using data and managing their end-to-end procurement process. What we found was a clear disconnect: while most executives recognize the need to implement new, more capable technologies, many are still stuck in the past, struggling with a lack of data-driven insights and low confidence in their forecasting abilities.

Our new white paper, Examining AI's role in modernizing logistics procurement, reveals the full story. It examines the surprising insights from our survey and illuminates the specific challenges carriers, shippers and brokers are facing. More importantly, it provides a roadmap for how AI-powered solutions can transform these operations to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving market.
