Often the decision on how to buy has been based on an initial decision to either use a lead logistics provider, or to contract parts of the supply chain individually. When buying these services you also have to consider how they will be operated in practice. Now, using modern technology, the buyer is able to allow the market to demonstrate the best available solutions. In this presentation Garry Mansell, CEO of Trade Extensions will discuss how you can extract the real value from your buying process and achieve exceptional results. Garry Mansell, CEO, Trade Extensions Garry has over 25 years of buying and logistics experience in the FMCG sector.

Large carrier capacity reductions, billions of losses made by carriers, carrier mega-alliances and sudden jumps in freight rates are putting stress on shippers and on the stability of supply chains, despite poor shipping volumes. Will cash-constrained carriers provide enough capacity for the 2012 peak season and survive another year of potential losses? What are the current trends in shipper-carrier contracts?
