Providing tools that help solve challenges
Griff Lynch, GPA President and CEO noted that providing tools that help solve challenges before drivers arrive at the gates improves efficiency for both drivers and cargo owners.Lynch noted that thanks to improved efficiency, drivers can often make six to eight turns daily to local warehouses and still be home in time for dinner. This supply chain velocity contributes to reduced inventory carrying costs for cargo owners.
