| 摘要： | FOR SOME YEARS, DATA-HUNERY SHIPPERS have leaned on their carriers and third-party logistics (3PL) partners to provide more than just a correct invoice. "It's about the data," say many leading logistics managers. Freight transactions are unique in that they generate many fields of data useful for analysis, such as shipping location, date and time, actual destination, weights and volume patterns. Shippers use this information to help support sales and operations planning (S&OP) that forecasts production, purchasing and logistics operations. Further, accurate history means better requests for proposals (RFPs) from shippers for logistics providers. In 40 years in the industry, I've witnessed four distinct stages in the evolution of freight payment to what I call "freight settlement." In freight settlement, the shipper pays for and receives the service promised and all associated data in a usable format. While I hope my colleagues are in stage four, I have met quite a few still in each of the stages one through three. |
