Episode 53 | Future-Ready IT OfferingsThe Big Themes:ServiceNow's innovation: Wayne Sadin talks about ServiceNow, which Bob recently wrote about, as a first mover in the market, leading the way in creating intelligent solutions that facilitate interoperability between different applications and workflows. This innovation reflects a broader trend in the tech industry toward integrated platforms that can handle diverse business needs without forcing organizations to invest in multiple standalone tools.Interoperability focus: Vendors should prioritize creating systems that allow for seamless interoperability and integration across various platforms. Interoperability is not merely about compatibility; it encompasses the ability to facilitate data sharing and process integration among disparate systems.Multi-cloud strategies: Wayne notes the importance of multi-cloud strategies, suggesting that flexibility and the ability to connect different systems will be crucial for organizations looking to avoid vendor lock-in. In an era where no single cloud provider can meet every organization's needs, a multi-cloud approach allows businesses to select the best solutions tailored to their specific requirements.The Big Quote: “The answer for every vendor is, to facilitate interoperability, make it easy for me to do my job better. Yes, you could build a walled garden, like the cloud vendors all did . . . That's the resort of the person with the inferior product . . . I want the ability to interoperate. I want them to all think this is not a zero-sum game."

This beachhead strategy was developed in conjunction with CALSTART and the California Air and Resource Board (CARB) and has been incorporated into CARB's three-year investment strategy plan. The program also works to connect with cities, national and regional government agencies, manufacturers, fleets, fuel/energy suppliers, and other organizations that support early markets for zero-emission commercial vehicles.Drive to Zero goals for the next five years are to identify best practices, eliminate barriers, and share information among stakeholders to achieve success in their initial beachhead markets in China, India, Mexico, South America, Canada, the European Union, and the United States. The program plans to hold an annual global meeting to ensure all parties are working together to achieve their common goal set by the 2015 Paris Agreement. By supporting participants, coordinating activities, and sharing strategies and best practices Drive to Zero is working as an intermediary to support the growth of zero-emission commercial vehicles worldwide.  CALSTART:CALSTART is a nonprofit that works to develop clean, efficient transportation solutions. The organization, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Pasadena, California, works with governments and businesses across the globe to connect their clients with the clean energy sector. Their mission is to create a high-tech clean-transportation industry that will create jobs and fight climate change. CALSTART works with technology firms, transit operations, vehicle manufacturers, research institutions, and more to customize services, information, and programming to work towards sustainable transportation solutions. CALSTART focuses on the demonstration and development of new clean technologies, market acceleration, policy work, assessment, validation, and member support to help grow the zero-emission transportation sector. The organization's goals are to reduce barriers and promote innovation and progress in clean transportation technologies to accelerate the green transportation sector. The nonprofit specializes in four sectors: cars, trucks, buses, and fuels to promote economic and environmental improvement.Christiano Facanha:Christiano Facanha is a transportation and environmental engineer who leads CALSTART's Commercial Vehicle Drive to Zero program.

Freight Tech Trends with Mike Mulqueen Mike Mulqueen and Joe Lynch discuss freight tech trends. Mike is a Partner and Strategy Practice Lead at JBF Consulting a company that integrates a supply chain execution strategy and systems for logistics-intensive companies. About Mike Mulqueen Mike Mulqueen is a Partner and Strategy Practice Lead at JBF Consulting. Mike is a leading expert in logistics technology solutions with over 30 years of managing, designing, and implementing freight transport systems. His functional expertise is in Multi-modal Transportation Management, Supply Chain Visibility, and Transportation Modeling. Mike earned a Master of Engineering degree from MIT and a Bachelor of Science degree in Business/Marketing from the University of Maryland. About JBF Consulting JBF Consulting is a supply chain execution strategy and systems integrator for logistics-intensive companies of every size and any industry. JBF's background and deep experience in the field of commercial logistics technology implementation position them as industry leaders whose craftsmanship exceeds client expectations. JBF expedites the transformation of supply chains through logistics & technology strategy, commercial & bespoke software implementation, and analytics & optimization. Key Takeaways: Freight Tech Trends Mike Mulqueen and the team at JBF Consulting advise and consult the very largest shippers on transportation management systems and technology. Typically, JBF customers spend over $100 million per year on transportation. Because of their large spend, JBF's customers usually buy their own transportation management systems. In the interview, Mike discussed the largest TMS companies and some of the recent mergers and acquisitions. Mike also highlighted the 3 freight tech trends that he thinks are relevant right now. Trend 1: Mergers and acquisitions in the TMS business mean some shippers will find themselves with a new TMS provider, who may not support their application. Some large shippers are faced with painful integrations and implementations that they had not planned as a result of their TMS provider getting acquired or merging with another provider. Trend 2: Migration of on-premise solutions to the cloud. Many large shippers are using transportation management systems that are on-premise solutions, which is installed on the customer's server. As TMS providers migrate their systems to the cloud, some shippers are experiencing disruptions. Many companies using on-premise solutions are very large shippers so any interruption of service can be very costly. Migration to the cloud is also expensive, and time-consuming for very large shippers. Because the migration to the cloud is often like starting over, many large shippers decide to re-evaluate their TMS providers before moving to the cloud. Trend 3: Transportation management systems are evolving to become easier to integrate and implement. TMS solutions are also focusing on being expert at one function (inch wide – mile deep) rather than being mediocre at many functions (mile wide – inch deep). Integrations will still be necessary, but hopefully they will get easier. Companies like Turvo are unifying systems, internal and external, providing one end-to-end platform, which enables companies to use the very best system for the job, while seamlessly connecting to the platform.

Key Takeaways: FreightTech for Fortune 500 Shippers In the podcast, Brad and Mike explain the process they use for helping Fortune 500 shippers select and implement FreightTech. The process begins with a needs assessment, which is a systematic process for determining and addressing needs, or gaps between current conditions and desired conditions or wants. As part of the needs assessment, the following factors must be considered: Strategic plan for the company to ensure that the technology selected works even if there are acquisitions or rapid growth in locations. Users and their geographic locations. Supply chain resiliency to mitigate potential supply chain disruptions, like COVID. Transportation services required including inbound, outbound, TL, LTL, small parcel, etc. Supply chain visibility. Payment, auditing, and freight claims. Understanding the vision and technology roadmap for potential technology providers to ensure alignment with the shipper. From the needs assessment, a technology vendor is selected and the implementation begins. Implementing freight technology is potentially a high-risk project so a robust implementation framework is required. Custom integrations are typically required to connect systems. Experience and expertise in freight technology integration is a big plus.  The return on investment (ROI) only happens only after the "go live" so Brad and Mike emphasize the importance of the stewardship phase. During the stewardship phase, the team focuses on user adoption, improvement, and maintenance.

He pinpoints the crisis that's affecting every metal-based structure in the nation's transportation network, and talks about what we must do address it. It's time to ''shift our mindset from reactive to proactive,'' he says.

ABSTRACT Conventional wisdom suggests that the routing of container traffic routing via West Coast ports is highly sensitive to transportation and transit time differentials. This belief played a major role in the initiation and the conclusions of the recent Federal Maritime Commission inquiry on the impact of the Harbor Maintenance tax on port competitiveness. This presentation will review the research behind the current conventional wisdom, highlight recent research conducted by Mr. Davies on the impact of macroeconomic variables and inland transportation networks on Canadian and US port competitiveness, and discuss the implications for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in developing robust strategies for responding to increased competition following the expansion of the Panama Canal. SPEAKER BIO Philip Davies is a transportation economist with over 30 years' experience in market research, freight planning and intercity passenger transportation, including 18 years as a Senior Economist with Transport Canada. After leaving Transport Canada, he served as Senior Consultant for IBI Group and as Vice President of Halcrow Consulting, Inc. Mr Davies is now the Principal of Davies Transportation Consulting, Inc. in Vancouver, BC. Mr. Davies' experience spans the public and private sectors in market analysis, planning and logistics. Recent research has focused on issues related to international container trade and includes projects related to port drayage, assessment of industrial land and intermodal facilities, and studies on competitiveness and environmental initiatives at West Coast ports. He holds an MA in Economics and a BA Hon. in Economics and Political Science from the University of Saskatchewan, and received a CITT Diploma in Transportation Management in 1995.
