Zencargo
About this episode

“The challenges were directly linked to customers not having enough inventory in the right places at the right time, as lockdown happened. No one knew, no one could predict the behaviours that would drive a consumer”.

Tune into another episode of Freight to the Point as James Fry, Director of Supply Chain Solutions at Zencargo joins Helena Wood. During their conversation they discuss how shippers should be collaborating with their freight forwarder and why the traditional, transactional relationship is no longer suitable for the current market. 

Listen if you want to hear more about: 

  • What you’re missing out on if you’re not working with a digital freight forwarder
  • How bespoke solutions can unlock great potential in your supply chain
  • How your freight forwarder should be marrying data and service to drive your supply chain goals
