IMPORTANT FACTORS

Excerpt from the report

What are the most important factors for creating a successful collaborative relationship?

We explored that question in our survey with Indago members and Transporeon’s shipper and carrier community. The top factor for creating a successful collaborative relationship is “The parties trust each other” as selected by 71% of the respondents. “The parties communicate regularly with each other” (47%) ranked second and “The parties share required data with each other” (37%) ranked third.

As one Indago supply chain executive explained: “Collaboration requires a much bigger commitment than cooperation, it requires time together spent mapping end-to-end processes, data sharing and analytics. Trust, similar cultures, shared objectives, and executive commitment are also necessary for collaboration.”
