Transportation Logistics
Logistics Viewpoints author Adrian Gonzalez published an article title Transportation Procurement is 'HOT' Right Now.
The article discusses thoughts presented by GENCO's Barb Pitroski, VP Carrier and Freight Solutions at the Manhattan Associates’ Momentum 2009 conference. Barb preached that shippers need to stay informed of volatile trends such as green initiatives, ongoing fuel price volatility and the growing role of politics in transportation and that transportation strategies and networks need to adjust to these trends.
