Cyber Security

Once you start digging, you will see that there are many companies out there who offer logistics consulting services. However, not all of these companies are the same. Some are less professional, and thus less effective than others. So, how do you know if the company you’re considering using is one of the best? Here are five things to look for before you hire.

 

• Analytics is Important to the Firm - When a shipment is delivered is the project completed? The best logistics consultants don’t think so. More than likely they are looking at every detail of that shipment and seeing where they can improve in the future. Analytics is a very important part of the job.
   

• Artificial Intelligence is Employed to Achieve Goals - The best companies in the business use AI (artificial intelligence) to help them with tracking, data comparisons and other aspects of the job. A company that takes advantage of AI is likely one that is dedicated to being at the top of its game--today and tomorrow.
   

• Customer Service is Priority One - Is a logistics company putting effort into their customer service? When you talk to the team at a logistics firm, they should always be willing to answer your questions, ease your concerns and go the extra mile in terms of customer service. You deserve the best and good customer service is an important part of that package.
   

• The Company is Easy to Reach - When you need to get in touch with a logistics firm, the last thing you want is to get a machine on the phone or a form letter back by email. Look for a company that answers their phones or at least one that responds back to you quickly and efficiently. Good communication is a benefit that can not be overstated and it is something you will appreciate time and time again.
   

• Cyber Security is Important to the Logistics Agency - You may not want to think about it, but the reality is when you trust your transport projects to a logistics firm, you are putting a lot of your company’s vital information out there in the world. By trusting a company that takes cyber security seriously, you will be less likely to wind up the victim of a hacker in the future. You know your data will be in good hands and you (and your customers) can rest easy.
