Outsourcing non-core competencies has been a long-standing business strategy, but for many shippers the decision to outsource freight activities brings on a number of anxieties starting with the perception of losing of control of what the C-Suite believes should be a core internal competency and continues from there. While some shippers may be anxious over the decision to outsource freight activities, the larger market is not and the practice is far more common than others think. Today's logistics technology and business processes within the managed transportation space makes outsourcing seamless to the shipper and its customer base, while providing significant value in price, capacity, market knowledge and overall supply chain performance.

CFO's are demanding better performance after watching their freight budgets balloon to all-time highs. The annual freight RFP season is just about upon us and after a difficult year where freight budgets were in the red thought there is no better time to start a discuss how shippers can improve their RFP process to obtain better results and then successfully execute operationally once the awards are sent to the carrier community. The days of throwing out percentage reductions or using a solve to equation to determine the spend for next year is a time tested process that needs to be challenged. While freight is thought of as a commodity, there is more to it and the Excel spreadsheet RFP driven down from the top misses the target before the arrow is even pull from the quiver. Today's dynamic environment requires strategic planning; execution to the strategy; measurements to the goals; analysis against industry benchmarks; and continuous improvement.
