Study Reveals Volatility is the New Normal

As mega-regions, networks of cities with shared economies, ecosystems, and transportation systems, continue to expand, US companies are increasingly competing with companies in countries with emerging markets.

A new study by the Hackett Group reveals that the majority of today's executives acknowledge that volatily has become the norm in regional global markets. According to The Hackett Group's February 22, 2012 press release, the study suggests that economic and market changes around the world "will require companies to fully understand the benefit that comes from adopting global standards and organizational models that allow optimal execution by leveraging both skill and scale more broadly."

Supply chain technology professionals have been preaching about the need for heightened supply chain visibility for well over a decade. BridgeNet Solutions recognized the need for greater visibility early on, and spent years researching and developing its online visibility dashboard in an effort to enable companies of all kinds to take total control of their transportation spends and create synergies with carriers, suppliers, and other third parties.

The potential ramifications of not ramping up technological capabilities in a time that requires us to be more prepared than ever for extreme economic and market shifts are deeply troubling. BridgeNet is committed to helping companies remain competitive and viable by helping them to optimize their supply chains, gain greater transportation savings, and grow their businesses by employing the most modern supply chain solutions available.
