TRUCKLOAD
A healthy supply chain has mutually beneficial partnerships where all parties grow and prosper.
cHALLENGES THAT SHIPPERS FACE
Operational Visibility
The absence of a TMS and system-driven insight can make it difficult to implement consistent processes and standards, often contributing to strained trust across carrier and broker relationships.
Vendorships
Not Partnerships
Many shippers struggle to fully leverage their buying power in the market, often leading to relationships that function more as vendorships than true partnerships.
Lead Time In
Their Market
Limited visibility into average market lead times can make it difficult to recognize the advantage created by longer tender windows. Offering 1–2 days in a market where others average closer to 3.5 days can impact service, cost, and carrier engagement.
Spot Market Volatility
Unpredictable spot pricing is a frequent challenge for shippers, and without a clear, repeatable plan, that volatility can be difficult to manage and learn from.
HOW WE APPROACH THOSE CHALLENGES
START WITH A TMS, You can’t fix a problem you can’t see.
Concept’s TMS delivers complete visibility into your shipping activity, turning data into clarity and action across your supply chain.
Accountability
Concept helps shippers define clear performance standards and hold partners accountable through full supply chain management and complete visibility powered by our TMS.
Early Planning Wins
It isn’t always feasible for shippers to provide more lead time when their customers need next day pick up, but most of the time we find that shippers are behind on production and aren’t aware that getting ahead of production can save tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.
SECURING CAPACITY
Access to carrier capacity is critical for ensuring on-time deliveries, cost stability, and protection against market volatility during peak demand periods. By locking in capacity, shippers reduce service disruptions, gain leverage in rate negotiations, and maintain consistent supply chain performance.
Volume Drives Value
Concept continuously monitors your freight volumes across markets and regions to identify consolidation opportunities. By packaging freight as regional or lane-based volume, shippers gain access to more dedicated carrier options and competitive rates, while shifting freight away from the spot market.
