Alongside her is Shannon Vaillancourt, President and Founder of RateLinx – the partner enterprise that stepped in to support Ecolab during its process optimization venture – who provides a window of insight looking at exactly what’s involved in moving from a manual to technology-driven operation. Tune into this insightful discussion on freight auditing transformation to discover: · The difficulties presented by manual processes. · How AI-backed software can be leveraged to tackle the work of hundreds of people. · The critical importance of not just any data, but good data.
