Coronavirus is getting a lot of attention, but it hasn't had much impact on domestic freight in the U.S. so far.

Too often, shipping organizations focus only on costs when selecting a TMS solution. Whether automating logistics for the very first time (saying goodbye to spreadsheets and phone calls) or seeking to replace an outdated incumbent technology, implementation and subscription costs are not the most important consideration. What’s much more critical is understanding how quickly your investment will pay for itself and begin adding padding to the bottom line.

Global hi-tech companies are struggling with the impact of the coronavirus. While the mortality rate at 2 percent does not sound like it should shut down global supply chains, 25 percent of those infected end up in intensive care. The high-tech industry is impacted particularly hard because so much of their contract manufacturing resides in China and they run JIT supply chains.

During conferences or interviews, chief executives can regularly be heard to say that their company is currently undergoing a digital transformation. But what kind of transformation do they actually mean? Are they talking about an operational transformation – about ‘digitizing’ existing, paper-based processes? Are they referring to a tactical change to their operational model, like when Netflix switched from sending out DVDs to streaming films online in 2010?
