How to find the optimal spot/contract mix

Exclusive webinar with McKinsey and Transporeon experts

Brand new research by McKinsey & Company uses Transporeon Market Insights data to explain how road freight carriers and brokers could improve EBIT by 15-30%, by leveraging data for decision making. 

Listen to the live discussion between speakers from McKinsey & Company and Transporeon experts for a deep dive into this research and the role that Transporeon plays in realising the data-driven efficiencies and savings explained in the article.

This research-based webinar supports: 

  • Carriers looking to define the optimal spot/contract mix to maximize value and minimise risk.
