Maximizing Opportunities With Parcel Carriers with Robyn Meyer at Transportation Insight

Chad Warzecha interviewed Robyn Meyer, Vice President, Solutions, at Transportation Insight, a company that ranks among North America’s top 10 largest logistics companies.  

When it comes to parcel transportation, Robyn sees many opportunities for smaller shippers that didn’t exist before. In companies where people have to wear many hats, to help bring down costs, they can now tap into third-party companies for business intelligence and data analytics. 

She gives some real-world examples of how smaller shippers have saved money through a few tweaks in their shipping agreements; or by managing customer behavior or tapping into historical data to get cost-saving insights.

The focus of major carriers (specifically UPS and FedEx) has shifted in the past years to small and medium businesses. Robyn offers some great tips on how SMBs can take advantage of this shift to reduce costs.

Robyn also sees many shippers going cross-border, especially to Canada. She talks about the differences in shipping there and what mistakes shippers make that could be avoided.
