“There is a new technological institution that will fundamentally change how we exchange value,” says Bettina Warburg during her Ted Talk on blockchain and it’s growing importance in trade and the economy.

As the role of purchasing continues to expand and as time becomes more scarce, it’s good to know that help is on the way. Though artificial intelligence isn’t “help” in the traditional sense, its capabilities for strengthening procurement aren’t either. The benefits of AI are much more significant.

Prime Advantage, an OMNIA Partner, has invited industry experts to share insights on achieving manufacturing and business success. In this post, Neal Willis of ReTrans Freight, discusses the pros and cons of shipping volume LTL.
For most carriers, shipments begin to meet the cubic capacity limits around 750 cubic feet, which is roughly around 7 pallets and/or 6,000 lbs.
