How often should we take our truckload network to bid? How will we define our lanes, and what level of information is important to carriers? What bidding tactics should we employ, and what are the types of carriers (and proposals) we want to encourage during our sourcing project?
If these are the types of questions making the rounds in your organization, then join us to hear from representatives of Big Heart Pet Brands (makers of Meow Mix®, Kibbles 'n Bits®, Milk-Bone®, 9Lives®, and other brands), Transplace and SciQuest, as they provide insights into the planning, bidding and decision making practices that make for more successful transportation sourcing projects.

Classifying carriers based on the KPIs relevant to your business strategies
-
Up-front strategy definition and documentation that drives post-bid evaluations
