There is an old expression in English: “The left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing.”

It works in every language. For example, in France they would say, “La main gauche ignore ce que fait la droite.” Or in Germany, “Die linke Hand weiß nicht, was die rechte Hand tut.”


As a procurement manager, you probably understand the sentiment. You do a great job sourcing carriers at a competitive rate, but from then on the execution performance is in the hands of another team.

Fragmentation between teams is not confined to large businesses. Silos are all too common in smaller operations. No matter the size, most transportation teams would benefit from shared access to more consistent, objective data that flows smoothly across systems.

This is the key to smarter workflows and stronger collaboration within logistics departments.

By integrating systems and processes, businesses unlock powerful synergies, streamline operations, and improve collaboration. The result? Greater efficiency and a sharper competitive edge.

For manufacturers and retailers managing storage, distribution, and dispatch, there’s a simple way to connect the dots — linking the bones of disconnected systems and tools into one seamless flow.

We call it silo-free transportation.
