Sustainable Practices for Shipping & Transport Companies
CX North America strongly believes in supporting a sustainable future for the transport industry. Going green is important for businesses in today’s world – but it should not have to hurt your company’s bottom line.
Sacrificing profits to become environmentally friendly is not what sustainability is all about. If every company were to do this, they would all be out of business in no time – obviously not sustainable. Sustainability is about finding that delicate balance between embracing more environmentally friendly business practices while maintaining profitability for your company. If done correctly, going green should actually increase your company’s revenue and profits – not diminish them.
Our freight management apps and solutions can help your company shift towards green freight management business practices by helping to improve your fleet resources overall operational efficiency. We can help reduce shipment times, make it easier to plan loaded return routes so your trucks aren’t driving around with no cargo, and increase warehouse organization so that loading / unloading times are minimized. Each of these tasks will not only help optimize your organization’s operations, but also help to mitigate its carbon footprint.
With the growing direct to consumer market and increasing individual parcel deliveries, it is now more than ever important to having shipping routes not only optimized, but to have the optimization process be automated. This helps to minimize drive time, improving fuel usage which is going to not only decrease costs, but also improve environmental sustainability. Our fleet management solutions can help plan out routes for fleets, allowing shipping managers to optimize multiple truck routes with ease and keep high levels of freight visibility at all times.
Businesses need to run in a sustainable equilibrium governed not only by internal operations but also by external factors. Freight Vision and other CX North America’s solutions can help keep your business in check with both internal and external factors. Maintaining a high level of operational efficiency is paramount for freight management businesses to be successful, so it is imperative for transport companies to use all tools at their disposal to help.
