BY KEN LOUISE, SENIOR MANAGER OF TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS We’ve been thrilled to work with Idahoan. Not only do we love their potato products, but we love how our partnership has created a smoother process for managing deliveries. Idahoan sells to all the major grocery chains and ships about 4,000 loads per year through intermodal, full truckload, and LTL using about 15 different carriers or brokers. When they were looking for a Transportation Management System (TMS), they had a keen understanding of their goals and this benefited the partnering process.
BY JOSH CARTER, TRANSPORTATION SOURCING EXPERT Last week, Amazon opened a brick-and-mortar bookstore on Chicago’s north side. It was the fifth such store Amazon has opened in the U.S., and the first one that is outside of a shopping mall. Obviously, this is news in part because the online giant is setting up shops in the real world.
