About the survey
Since 2017, Descartes has conducted an annual benchmark survey of global transportation professionals to identify the strategies, tactics and technology thinking of top-performing organisations. Survey participants represented a wide range of industry leaders including Descartes customers and followers, trade association members and industry publications readers to provide a balanced view of transportation management. Only the last five years of results are used to keep the study relevant.
Each year our benchmark survey:
• explores how companies view the role of TM
• identifies key industry trends driving the market
• examines how transportation value is measured
• uncovers which capabilities, technologies, and competitive strategies/tactics are making the greatest impact
• provides the outlook for future IT investment
The 2022 survey: What has changed 2 years into the pandemic?
Strong economies are driving consumer demand for goods, which has put tremendous pressure on transportation organisations to move goods reliably and cost effectively. The combination of capacity constraints and driver shortages in many countries has only added to the challenges transportation organisations face. As it appears, there won’t be a quick resolution to the situation any time soon, supply chains, and in particular transportation, have become a board level discussion. Supply chain and logistics leaders are rethinking their transportation management strategies, tactics and technologies to mitigate supply chain impacts. Top performers are taking more aggressive actions to turn transportation challenges into opportunities to become more competitive and grow their business.
