VISIBILITY
Freight visibility provides supply chains with real-time, actionable data in response to changes in the transportation world, such as the need to be flexible in response to changing market conditions, rising customer expectations for faster shipping, and increased focus on environmental sustainability.
Supply chains have been working on improving their data collection techniques for their transportation procedures for years. Until recently, many organizations have relied on time-consuming and resource-intensive manual processes that ultimately only yield isolated bits of data.
Adoption has rapidly increased in the past decade, with the introduction of transportation visibility. The rapid adoption of the technology has made it a cornerstone of supply chain strategy.

Where does this visibility in transportation help?
The ability to track shipments in real-time is increasingly important in global supply chain strategy. It might be challenging to get enough understanding of the process to make sound decisions in a complicated sector with many entangled partners and third parties.
Predictive and precise tracking of shipments
There are many advantages to having freight visibility, but at the root of it is the ability to track shipments in real-time. It is crucial to be aware of the current location of a shipment and the estimated time of arrival.
The whole picture of shipments across all transport types and locations
It has always been difficult for businesses to see their supply chain from end to end, across all forms of transportation and geographical locations. Supply chains can't optimize operations to their full potential when they just have partial information.
Many supply chains today are international in scope, therefore transportation data shouldn't be kept in separate containers. Supply chains can learn more about their cargo's complete route when they can see it from origin to destination.
Integrating with a plethora of different provider and carrier networks
It's difficult to connect to a whole carrier network. The numbers of carriers a shipper uses can range in the thousands and third-party logistics providers (TPLs routinely coordinate between hundreds of them. Many rely on time-consuming, inefficient, and inaccurate manual tracking methods including calling the driver to get location updates and then emailing those updates to customers.
Supply chains can save time and resources by avoiding these labor-intensive, manual tasks thanks to improved transportation visibility.
Power to acquire information for insights
Many shippers have begun utilizing transportation visibility to better manage exceptions and make proactive course corrections before problems arise, and supply chains are beginning to leverage this data for business intelligence.
Some people are utilizing this information to compare and contrast different carriers and lanes.
