Industry Context
The increasingly-globalized economy is made possible by networks of Logistics & Supply Chain companies, interconnected around the world. Goods are sourced in one geography, manufactured in another and then distributed to consumers, wholesalers and retailers across every geography. The coordination and optimization of shipping capacity with shipping demands, in service of deadline delivery dates, creates a dizzying array of logistical considerations. The speed, efficiency and visibility into these activities have become the competitive arena for Logistics & Supply Chain companies.
