What tools are there for managing freight risks in logistics?

[PureSkunk137]

When I recently organised the sea delivery of large consignments of goods, I noticed that unforeseen delays and problems with carriers can seriously affect business. Has anyone used modern tools such as freight risk management software? Could you explain how to effectively manage risks during sea transport?

Hello, where exactly do you work? I work in the same field. When we shipped a container of equipment from Europe to the US, we were initially very concerned about unexpected delays and congestion at ports. Then we implemented a TMS system, which you can read more about on GetTransport. This helped with freight risk management and really changed things, now you can track cargo in real time, see the entire route and avoid problem areas. This has significantly reduced stress and financial risks because you can clearly see what is happening with each container and make quick decisions instead of worrying about whether everything will be delivered on time.
