Today more than ever, organizations face immense pressure to operate more effectively and efficiently, while catering to the demands of their customers. However, impressing the customers with a five-star delivery service can be cumbersome with the use of manual shipping methods.

As most of the organizations still use spreadsheets for the rate management process, the struggle to decode a matrix of logistics, taxes, and customs to find the optimal rates for their shipments, is real.

Attend this webinar and hear from Charlie Cunnion Vice President, Global Transportation at International Forest Products (IFP) and learn how they use technology to:

• Ensure effective change management: Learn how IFP stay on top of the latest market dynamics and adjust the flow of imports and exports in a way that maximizes the company's position and how technology helps them be a more nimble organization and ultimately allow them save money and win more business
• Track carrier performance for on-time delivery: Shared document management, workflow, and task assignments that don't rely on 100's of emails is the way to solve shipment delays along with collaboration with the carriers on the platform is the most efficient way for us all to be on the same page. Hear how IFP uses metrics and scorecards to help them track how we are doing.
• Use real-time reporting: Hear how IFP track complete orders and see if they were delivered on-time and at the agreed rate. Tracking which carriers perform on which routes, and at what price, enables customer satisfaction and strong margins for IFP.

The fundamentals of container shipping may be improving, but the industry is hardly out of the woods, as the outlook for demand weakens and carriers grapple with higher operating costs tied to the low-sulfur global mandate. Maritime research firm Alphaliner expects global container capacity to expand 3.3 percent this year while demand will grow 3.1 percent, compared with 2019 increases of 3.6 percent and 2.4 percent, respectively. But questions over whether economic growth will continue or whether a slowdown or even recession will come after 10 years of unabated expansion prompted Drewry Shipping Consultants last fall to downgrade its demand outlook for 2019 to 2.6 percent from 3 percent. Also undetermined is the ultimate outcome of the nearly two-year US-China trade dispute as both sides back off their tariff battle amid recent progress in bilateral negotiations. And, although carriers have met the International Maritime Organization's low-sulfur fuel mandate, their effort to pass on higher operating costs to shippers and forwarders or risk a return to deep losses is hardly certain.

This webcast timed to air in the run-up to TPM20 and the start of the trans-Pacific contract negotiations will analyze what all this means for shippers and their service providers.
