East Granby, CT -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/22/2015 -- Picking Perfection, sponsored by Pcdata USA, brings important and interesting information to those in the material handling, warehousing, distribution, and manufacturing sectors. Andy Smith, GENCO's Vice President of Consumer & Industrial Logistics, shared some insights with Patrick Burnson, Executive Editor of Supply Chain Management Review. Since FedEx announced the acquisition of GENCO late last year, many supply chain managers may still be seeking answers on the cultural shift and its impact on the 3PL marketplace.
Burnson asked Smith to identify the greatest mistake shippers make when evaluating a 3PL partner. Smith responded, "You must consider the 3PL's ability to provide accurate profile data to ensure a precise business model is built that positively impacts business operations. The solution to this problem is to generate better and more detailed analytics so that project management transition tools can be leveraged to ensure customer risk is limited during integration."
