KCH Transportation has six top team members that use the SONAR UI to better manage assets and align the company with market trends. Acting as a hive-mind, the group of six can review market trends individually, discuss the potential impacts, and make the most effective decisions. Using SONAR data, the team can pre-empt the most unusual of circumstances, such as container shortages, problems managing drayage, handling LTL consolidation, and more.
KCH Transportation has strong goals, including growing the company with new clients in 2021. Its brokerage service is subject to the concerns over timeliness and accuracy of market-rate insights in day-to-day operations, which are among the reasons the company chose FreightWaves SONAR to help its operations. The brokerage service has seen key benefits from its use of SONAR, including:
- More strategic market positioning.
- Faster quoting for spot loads.
- Increased responsiveness in viewing likely market trajectories.
- Making data-driven decisions easier and more effective.
