Steve Raetz, Director of Research and Market Intelligence, C.H. Robinson
Today’s market conditions mean that all supply chains are under pressure—no matter their industry. All industries compete for the same capacity, which means you’re in competition with not only other members of the medical industry, but all industries when it comes to securing the transportation capacity at the right price. Differentiation is critical for success. Discuss the strategy behind and best practices for developing a strong, stable budget no matter what the market throws at your business, and what attributes beyond price affect carriers’ decisions to haul your freight over your competitors’.
