Home Delivery/Last Mile Logistics - a Disrupter's Market
Analyst Insight: Service providers, couriers and retailers have been doing last mile for decades. But times are different now. Consider: omnichannel, Amazon's game-changing free and same-day delivery, and Sears creating an offering service for third parties. The last two years also saw disrupters who were previously unknown enter the logistics market. But traditional transportation technology firms are fighting back. 2015 will show dramatic changes in the market. – Ann Grackin, CEO ChainLink Research
Longshoreman Pay Dwarfs That of Most Employees in Transportation Industry
More than 4,400 ships bring nearly $400bn worth of goods through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach every year, a crucial link in the global supply chain of factories, warehouses, docks, highways and rail lines. Most blue-collar workers along the chain have seen their wages slashed with the quick rise of global trade. But the longshoremen who move the goods the shortest distance, between ship and shore, have shrewdly protected pay that trumps that of many white-collar managers.

The creation of strong 4PL players has captured the trust of manufacturers and retailers. – Lisa Kennedy, Project Manager, Tompkins International
Carriers Are Back In The Driver's Seat
Analyst Insight: Shippers have controlled the dialogue on rates and service for several years. This has now past, as several key factors now help carriers negotiate at the bargaining table. The could lead to a true "play or pay" scenario most shippers are not prepared to fully appreciate. – Karl B. Manrodt, Professor of Logistics, Georgia College & State University
What's Your Strategy for Speed in Distribution?
Analyst Insight: Speed is a game-changer. Leaders are enabling faster fulfillment and reaping real bottom line and competitive advantage benefits. The key is balancing potential revenue gain or service level improvement against the investment and operating costs required to deliver on the promise. Choosing the right strategy depends on understanding the impacts, not just within the distribution center, but across the entire organization. – Helgi Thor Leja, Industrial Distribution Leader, Fortna Inc.
