At 4flow, we regularly conduct transportation management (TM) maturity assessments for businesses in diverse industries. In these projects, our team evaluates an organization’s current TM maturity and recommends tailored optimization measures with different horizons and impacts, offering a personalized approach to each organization’s unique situation.
In the process, we identified patterns in terms of TM maturity and optimization measures. We’ve used this information to identify four common archetypes.
