Brian Lynch, EY Americas Transportation Sector Leader, discusses lessons learned from the negotiations and the evolving role of automation.

Shippers and 3PLs have always worked together, as both have profit motives. While this seems to work and drives the economics, there’s a better way that provides a more seamless, connected and integrated model to improve the value for both—while keeping a laser focus on the customer.

AI holds significant potential to transform supply chains, but widespread adoption is slowed by fragmented systems, inconsistent data, and cautious implementation approaches.

Effective supply chain management, akin to wrestling a gorilla, requires constant attention and optimization, with the key being to choose the right model for your specific circumstances and leveraging AI and managed services to continuously improve performance and reduce costs.

From ever-increasing customer demands to increased operating and finance costs to delivering against the sustainability targets set by the C-suite, the need to go deeper with your third-party logistics provider is not only needed, but necessary to survive in the world of uncertainty in which we all live.

This is a game-changing transformation for transportation, with much the same impact of the jump from sail to steam power and steam to diesel propulsion.
