   UNDERSTANDING THE FREIGHT CYCLE
   
   The Waterfall Theory of Freight illustrates the critical importance of
   maintaining high routing guide compliance to control shipping costs and what
   might happen if these routing guides fall apart. Tools like SONAR enable
   transportation providers to track tender volumes, rejections and market
   imbalances, providing valuable insights into freight trends. By leveraging
   these tools, SONAR users can better navigate the complexities of freight
   logistics, ensuring more efficient and cost-effective operations.

   UNLOCK LEADING INDICATORS FOR DRAYAGE DEMAND
   
   While SONAR doesn’t contain drayage rates yet, certain data sets provide a
   look forward at demand that can help carriers be nimble with timely
   adjustments to resource levels. Total drayage capacity in a particular market
   doesn’t typically change much from day to day or week to week, but demand can
   fluctuate based on the volume of containers coming off the docks or into a
   rail yard.

   OCEAN DATA FOR GLOBAL LOGISTICS OPTIMIZATION
   
   The Container Atlas application in SONAR illustrates supply and demand in the
   ocean market by showing spot rates in addition to numerous other supply and
   demand metrics outside of rates, such as bookings information.

“SONAR enables us to keep track of the freight markets in real-time. Without it,
I would be ‘behind the 8-ball’ on market shifts and trends across the freight
markets and unable to communicate effectively to our team about the current
state of the market.”

customer base.”


VP of Carrier Operations
