“Bill is a great innovator that is able to combine that creativity with a drive to operational success. I had the pleasure of working with him on the launch of Uber Freight at our business and his professionalism was appreciated and genuine. He knows how to work best with customers to drive shared value through creative solutions. He and his team delivered great results for us even in the first six months of the relationship. I would recommend working with Bill and Uber Freight on any new freight initiatives you may have.”

A network analysis of spot-market broker operations in supply chain management is presented with a case study of a brokerage firm.

Profitability is affected not only by the number of interactions between brokers and vendors but also by the quality of those interactions. The quality of interactions is…
A network analysis of spot-market broker operations in supply chain management is presented with a case study of a brokerage firm. By modeling the connections between brokers and vendors, users can define metrics that correlate the strategies to select the vendors with profitability, which identifies new operating policies. Profitability is affected not only by the number of interactions between brokers and vendors but also by the quality of those interactions. The quality of interactions is quantified. The extent to which this approach can yield operating policy guidelines and serve as a tool to evaluate broker performance is demonstrated.

Techniques for planning of transportation requests may be described. In particular, zones may be generated based on historical information associated with transportation requests, where each zone may be configured to manage a number of the transportation requests. An inter-zone sequence may also be generated relatively statically to indicate an order of progressing between the zones in response to the transportation requests.

An inter-zone sequence may also be generated relatively statically to indicate an order of progressing between the zones in response to the transportation requests. In addition, an intra-zone sequence for each zone may also be generated relatively dynamically. The intra-zone sequence may indicate an order of progression within the corresponding zone in response to current transportation requests of that zone.
