Transportation and Logistics plays a critical role in business and the economy. Over 12% of US GDP is spent on transport and logistics. The business of moving freight is a major expense for an individual company and is essential for the flow of product through the supply chain. In total, transportation is a significant industry in every developed economy.
The ease or difficulty with which companies can transport goods within a country can affect their competitiveness in global trade. When transporting goods is easy, and costs are relatively low, exporters can efficiently ship their merchandise to export locations and on to international markets. The more difficult it is to move product over a distance, the greater the friction of distance. With greater friction come higher costs.
For many companies, logistics costs are one of the largest single categories of indirect spend. A focused logistical improvement project can have a large impact on the bottom line, whether your company is a transportation provider, intermediary, or shipper.
