    Finding the right supply chain technology partner

    In the
    digital age of the supply chain, shippers almost always have room to improve –
    whether it’s by adopting new technologies, improving connectivity among their
    current system, or engaging in small, incremental steps toward bringing their
    program into the 21st century.

    Shippers
    want the technology, connectivity and systems to automate and drive
    efficiencies in their supply chain and, fortunately, service providers exist to
    cover each of these gaps. With that plethora of options, however, comes a world
    of obstacles.

    Redwood
    exists in part to overcome these obstacles. As a full-service third-party
    logistics provider that offers flexible, custom solutions for each customer we
    work with, Redwood works to simplify the competitive landscape of general consultants,
    SaaS providers, and integration platforms by housing it all under one roof.

    General
    consultants can provide the roadmap, but then shippers need to work with
    multiple different providers to execute. Logistics integrators stand up the
    solutions and integrations, but have difficulty handling A2A orchestration, and
    they struggle with integrating third-party applications.

    Value-Added
    Networks are innovation partners, but little more, integration platforms don’t
    have logistics, data services, or strong project management, and 3PLs can
    deliver the technology, but often with strings attached in the form of required
    freight management agreements.

    So what does
    this all mean for shippers? It comes down to finding the right partner that can
    do a little – or a lot – of everything.

    Redwood’s
    expertise across the transportation technology ecosystem truly makes it a
    unique in its space. We’ve built our team so we understand the platform we
    implement and integrate well enough to teach, leverage and support shippers
    throughout their transportation technology journeys. With our flexible, custom
    freight management options, Redwood can tackle an array of challenges that
    siloed service providers just can’t touch.
