As a member of the Supply Chain Exchange, ISO is committed to advancing MIT CTL's research endeavors in multiple crucial areas. ISO will leverage its status as the industry-leading platform for measuring service performance among shippers, brokers, and carriers. This will help the industry advance data standardization and performance measurement. With a robust infrastructure processing millions of data points across partner networks, ISO will contribute invaluable anonymized data that sheds light on service trends throughout the supply chain, contributing to MIT CTL's groundbreaking research.
ISO's collaboration with MIT CTL will further facilitate in-depth analyses of the ripple effects of truckload service performance. By examining how performance issues resonate upstream and downstream, ISO's insights will provide a comprehensive view for MIT CTL's researchers. Moreover, this collaboration aims to drive a paradigm shift in the procurement mindset, emphasizing a value-based approach over traditional cost-based risk assessments.
"ISO is excited about the valuable and previously unattainable insights that our collaboration with MIT CTL will bring to the industry. By partnering with the largest shippers in North America and their logistics service providers to validate and align performance data at scale, we can help inform a wide range of important MIT CTL research on the trends and inefficiencies in transportation procurement. We look forward to supporting MIT CTL and the entire Supply Chain Exchange," said Brian Cristol, co-founder and CEO of ISO.
David Correll, a research scientist and freight expert at CTL, said, "ISO is doing what much of our research suggests needs to be done: integrating data across firm boundaries - across supply chain partners - in order to solve operational problems. As researchers, we're excited to be on this journey with the ISO team, contributing where we can and closely observing their progress in the field.
ISO's collaboration with MIT CTL is further exemplified by its sponsorship of the annual Supply Chain Sustainability report. This report, a pulse check on industry sustainability priorities, aligns with ISO's perspective that effective measurement is essential for sustainable progress. ISO will also participate with MIT CTL on the sustainability panel at CSCMP Edge in October this year to further solidify this knowledge exchange.
