In this episode, we dive deep into the diverse and intricate world of freight management with guests Jim Floersch, Senior Global Logistics Manager at Pentair, and Shannon Vaillancourt, CEO of RateLinx. Discover how Pentair's integration of advanced transportation management systems (TMS) and freight audit processes has streamlined their complex logistics network, handling up to 300,000 non-parcel invoice transactions annually with just three staff members.
