To address these challenges and optimally manage freight, manufacturers are increasingly deploying state-of-the-art supply chain management solutions that offer better supply chain visibility. The prevailing trend towards omni-channel distribution due to advances in e-commerce industry, especially in Asia Pacific has been instrumental in encouraging shippers to streamline their operations, thereby augmenting demand for supply management solutions.
