About: As one of the world’s largest third-party logistics providers, C. H. Robinson continues to manage and optimize our customers’ supply chain solutions. As the demand for automation and streamlined decision making continues to grow from our customers, so does the adoption of new technologies and practices at C. H. Robinson. From automatic bidding to digital freight matching, our data science group has led several initiatives to change the way we move freight. In this talk, we will discuss some of our current initiatives while diving deeper into the challenges of operating a semi-dedicated fleet of trucks from a third-party logistics perspective.
