Almost every logistics professional I speak to cites increased complexity in their job. Complexity comes in the form of: changing distribution channels, capacity challenges, increased regulations, shrinking budgets, and the need for continuous planning and forecasting. Detailed analytics improves decision making, however, many companies have limited resources to dedicate to analysis. All in all, today’s logistics professional has a tough job.

Bison Transport has been building a business that is simplifying the tough job today’s shippers face. The Canadian shipping and distribution landscape is spread out between Eastern and Western Canada, with key hubs in places like Toronto, ON and Calgary, AB. Those hubs are critical components of a transportation network. Carriers need to provide long haul connectivity between both hubs as well as the U.S., and they also have to connect short haul customers within the individual regions. Carriers who provide BOTH long and short haul services across Canada create numerous efficiencies, including:

• Standardization of services to customers
• Improved trailer & container equipment management
• Decreased administrative costs
• Reduced number of carriers required to serve the network
• Customized analytics and reporting opportunities
