GlobalTranz

Introduction GlobalTranz is a logistics company that focuses on

freight management services. As the year has progressed, GlobalTranz has worked to stay abreast of trends emerging in the freight management industry. The company's website features a list of these trends to help readers in the industry stay up to date.

For example, regulatory changes have had a significant effect on the landscape in recent months, especially as the government seeks to reduce the nation’s overall carbon footprint. Also, the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act has increased funding to interstate highways, which has opened up new, more efficient routes but will likely result in new business taxes.

Freight Management A general move toward sustainability is another major

trend. For most businesses, this trend is a win-win situation. The industry as a whole contributes less to climate change while greater fuel efficiency drops operating costs.

New technologies have also had an impact on how services are rendered in this industry. More companies than ever before are outsourcing their business functions, including accounting, software adoption, transportation management, and payment processing. By passing these tasks off to third parties, companies can increase their productivity by outsourcing time-consuming processes.
