For one global healthcare company seeking to avoid unexpected costs and shipping inefficiencies, while simultaneously unlocking the benefits of multiple countries and business units under one RFP, powerful automation proved to be the missing piece to the RFP puzzle. Let’s take a look at four reasons why automated LTL RFP processes, like SMC³ BidSense®, are equipped to help save the day.

As a part of the SMC³ LTL203: LTL Carrier Pricing and Costing course, Ryan Poynter, SVP of LTL carrier relations and pricing at GlobalTranz, John Kruzan, director of client success at SMC³, and Dave Woodwyk, VP of pricing and yield management at USF Holland, joined students for a closer look at how both carriers and shippers can work together to drive more productive and efficient RFP processes.

For the last year, shippers and carriers in the LTL industry have faced unprecedented challenges. During SMC³’s Basic Fundamentals of LTL Pricing & Costing course, Brian Thompson, chief commercial officer for SMC³, and Eddie Sorg, vice president of yield management for ArcBest, joined current students for a deeper discussion of what these changing dynamics look like and how both carriers and shippers can reimagine their workflows to create more efficient, profitable partnerships.

Ryan Poynter, senior vice president of LTL carrier relations and pricing at GlobalTranz, will be giving his expert insight into LTL RFP best practices during a special hybrid class from SMC³’s online education program – LTL203: LTL Carrier Pricing and Costing, beginning April 15. Poynter recently took some time to address the current state of the supply chain after a volatile 2020, and some insights into the importance of having an organized, well-prepared freight transportation RFP.

Finding the right supply chain education program that fits your needs during a pandemic remains easier said than done. Fortunately, SMC³’s supply chain education courses cover a wide range of topics. Industry experts will further explore these topics during the exclusive supply chain course, “LTL203: Carrier Pricing and Costing.”
