Your Playbook for Winning This Shipping Season

 

The Kickoff: Starting Strong

Just like a great kickoff sets the tone for the game, having real-time data is crucial to start your shipping strategy on the right foot. Use SONAR’s market analytics to identify trends, predict demand surges and protect your supply chain from disruptions.

The Playbook: Planning Your Moves

A successful team needs a well-crafted playbook to navigate the game. Access SONAR to optimize route planning and adjust your freight movements based on live market conditions — just like you would adapt your next play based on the opposing team’s defense.

The Quarterback: Making Decisions in Real-Time

The quarterback makes split-second decisions that can change the outcome of the game. Leverage SONAR’s 24-hour data in TRAC to make quick decisions on load acceptance, routing and pricing. Stay ahead of the competition by adjusting strategies as market conditions change, just like a QB reading the field.

The Defensive Line: Protecting Your Assets

A strong defensive line protects the quarterback and stops the opposing team. SONAR data offers the ability to monitor risks to your supply chain and protect your bottom line. Utilize Critical Events in SONAR (powered by WeatherOptics) to make defensive moves and mitigate environmental disruptions.

The Touchdown: Scoring With Strategic Moves

The ultimate goal is to score and win the game. Score big by maximizing efficiency and cost savings using SONAR’s predictive tools to stay ahead of seasonal demand spikes and ensure timely deliveries.

The Halftime Adjustments: Tweaking the Strategy

Halftime is a chance to adjust the game plan based on the first half. Review your performance mid-season with our reporting tools and customer success managers. Make necessary adjustments to your strategy to ensure you’re on track for the remainder of the season.

The End Game: Finishing Strong

The final minutes determine the outcome of the game. Use end-of-season data insights to finalize your strategy and wrap up the year with a win. Analyze what worked and prepare for the next peak season and year ahead with the fastest and most reliable freight data in the network.
