Transparency for efficient logistics operations

Transparency refers to how businesses communicate their freight information with other trading partners in the supply chain. Visibility refers to the monitoring of units as they move through supply chains. Manufacturers, distributors, transportation companies, 3PLs, suppliers both upstream and downstream, freight brokers, freight forwarders, regulators, and even the customers themselves may fall under this category.

The idea of supply chain transparency ensures that everyone working inside a logistics network does so in a seamless, effective, hands-off manner and with shared knowledge. Particularly in companies that deal with consumers, transparency has grown in importance, and the development of trends like blockchain is unmistakable proof of this.
