What Are Managed Services?
Managed Services is a term that is everywhere these days. As companies grow in size and complexity, more and more decision makers are looking for turn-key solutions for problems outside their core competencies. Constant customer demand for faster, easier to use, and more comprehensive products means that most businesses don’t have time to focus on anything other than what they do best.
That’s where Managed Services come in. The term refers to any service that a company outsources to an external partner, as opposed to allocating internal resources to accomplish the same task. The reason is simple: developing, implementing, and maintaining custom-built internal solutions is never fast, and often times not cost effective either.
In the logistics industry, they can take on a few different forms, from Freight Audit and Pay, to Optimization. However, we here at FreightOptics have now taken Managed Services to the next level. With the help of our proprietary advanced logistics platform, we can provide our clients with access to a full-fledged logistics department, complete with industry leading experts, at a fraction of the cost.
