Andy Hedrick’s Post

Your two favorite freight nerds come together to deliver some FreightTech knowledge to you this Wednesday! 😎 Today, during FreightWaves #3PL Summit, Metafora's Ryan Schreiber joins me to discuss tips to evaluating technology in our industry. 💙 After a minute of us fangirling over our friendship, we explore the significance of strategizing the technological problems to address, determining whether your company is suitable for early or late adoption and identifying the crucial data your company may not be collecting but should be. Any tips we left out? LEAVE EM IN THE COMMENTS! 😇 https://lnkd.in/gtsiyG7J

Enjoyed catching up and talking about F3 with Jacob Tache Didn’t share anything novel here, but wanted to emphasize two core themes that I believe will be major differentiators moving forward. Innovation & Data Driven Strategies Both of those are probably considered buzzwords now given how frequently they’re thrown around, but it couldn’t be any more true within the transportation space from what I have seen. If you’re a capacity service provider you can’t keep doing what you’ve been doing by playing the cycles and you have to leverage data (both internal and external) to effectively and efficiently build out your network. You have to differentiate yourself. That is what will enable the foundation for both true scale and durability across freight market cycles. Let me know your thoughts!

We're back from the FreightWaves F3 conference and have some INCREDIBLE insights to share. In this conversation, Jacob Tache and Ian Walters discuss the key takeaways from the FreightWaves F3 conference, focusing on the themes of innovation, data reliance, and strategic positioning for the future of the logistics and transportation industry. They highlight the importance of technology investment and the evolving role of data analytics in driving efficiency and growth within the sector.
