Why are Transportation Analytics Important?

With continued globalization of supply chains, transportation has become more and more integral to connecting producers to distributors to consumers. And, the companies who can optimize their transportation processes have a decided edge over their competitors. Transportation Analytics can uncover hidden opportunities for reduced cost, improved efficiencies, and increased service reliability.
