Key Takeaways: Faster, Better Freight Quotes - In the podcast, Dawn highlighted the following challenges facing freight brokers and 3PLs:
- Competitive pressures as well funded, venture capital-backed 3PLs and big publicly traded companies invest heavily in tech that enables them:
- Reduce the cost per load.
- Improve the customer experience.
- Deliver faster, more accurate freight quotes using dynamic pricing.
- Market volatility
- Delivering faster, better quotes is especially difficult when the market is volatile.
- Customers (shippers) are becoming more sophisticated and demanding.
- Instantaneous freight quotes are becoming more common.
- Old, dirty data
- There is a lot of data available to brokers and 3PLs, but much of the data is market averages that are non-contextual (out of context).
- Even when the data is good, it is difficult for humans to leverage the data into good quotes – too much to process.
- If freight margins compress, all the above problems become even more evident. When the margins are high, there is more slop and opportunity for brokers and 3PLs to hide their pricing mistakes.
- Dawn also discussed dynamic pricing, which is a pricing strategy that enables 3PLs and brokers to change prices based on algorithms that consider competitor pricing, supply and demand, and other external factors in the market.
- Dawn’s company, Greenscreens.ai provides dynamic pricing to the transportation and logistics industry.
- Dynamic pricing is used by many industry leaders and in many other industries including ride-sharing, airlines, professional sports, retail, and theme parks.
- Dynamic pricing utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning that can help 3PLs and brokers deliver freight quotes that both faster and better (more accurate).
- When companies use dynamic pricing from Greenscreens.ai they win more business because they can deliver faster, better freight quotes. In addition, companies improve their operational productivity and improve margins.
