What does the future of carrier diversification look like? How can retailers choose the right carrier partner to build a competitive advantage? Check out our CCO Josh Dinneen's presentation at Manifest for key insights, including: 1. Carrier diversification is key to a successful parcel strategy, but over-diversification creates operational inefficiencies and keeps retailers from leveraging faster delivery and better pricing opportunities. 2. Carrier consolidation is already happening. Retailers on average are dropping around one carrier per month and this trend is expected to continue. 3. In today's overly crowded market, retailers need to be strategic about selecting a partner that can provide the best combination of speed, cost, service, and quality.

Are carrier Portfolio Tiers/Earned Discounts overrated? Carriers use them to incentivize customers to ship more volume with them rather than distribute shipments over multiple carriers. And it works. In a Pitney Bowes multicarrier survey, 39% of retailers survey cited the "Risk of losing volume discounts" as one of their two largest obstacles to carrier diversification, making it the second largest obstacle. For smaller shippers (25k - 100k orders/year), volume discounts become the number one obstacle. We joined Sendflex Technology to dig into volume discounts and gauge their importance when exploring carrier diversification. We also take a look at two other large obstacles: technology integrations and bandwidth for internal teams. Check it out over on Sendflex: https://lnkd.in/gAcWAzn5

We currently see a YTD average of 25.1% carrier re-utilization rate, a process in which a load <> carrier was matched, the carrier was sent a load, and the broker negotiated and booked it with them on Chaine. This is for transactional spot freight with no dedicated carrier procurement outside load boards. If you design your carrier sales funnel the right way, your carrier re-utilization rate will increase automatically. It's a side effect of a well-designed, human-broker-centric carrier sales process. #freightbroker #carriersales #freighttech
