The cyberattack on software firm CDK Global, which has hobbled thousands of car dealerships across the U.S., underscores a common problem in critical industries: reliance on a small number of vendors.  The problem isn’t unique to the auto industry. It is common for software providers to the airline, banking and healthcare sectors to each control about one-third of the market, my colleague Belle Lin reports. There are no easy fixes, and customers are often hesitant to move their critical operations away from industry-specific software they are familiar with. https://lnkd.in/e3h5VRpf

CDK Outage - Day 7 (6th operational day): CDK Global is now calling the cyberattack that took down its software platform for its auto dealership clients "a ransom event." according to the linked CBS report. CDK also added in the note that it has started restoring its systems and expects the process of bringing major applications back online "to take several days and not weeks." This is welcome news for dealers affected by this outage and we all hope that they can pull that herculean task off in light of the fact that most experts stating that it normally takes weeks. No doubt that this is a "all hands on deck" moment for the CDK leadership and team to make that happen. Once again my support is for all involved and affected and I have an even greater level of admiration for dealers, their leadership teams and especially those on the front lines who continue to meet their respective clients needs in the face of what has been a massive and unprecedented challenge. Here's hoping that the restoration happens soon! Please share your thoughts and any example of dealers/associates who have done amazing work to keep their businesses going. I guarantee it will be hugely uplifting for all dealership personnel. Thank you. https://lnkd.in/gudHz4-E

1.2%! That is how many carriers (and double brokers) are faking tracking! You may be getting 80-90%+ of your loads tracked, but how many of those are carriers using sophisticated software to trick you with fake tracking? Our bet is at least 1 out of every 100! It doesn't seem much, but it always takes one load to the wrong carrier to duck it up! Chaine is one of the ONLY platforms that can detect fake tracking. #freight #freighttech #trackingsolutions
