Finance Under Pressure in Global Logistics
Finance teams in logistics service providers (LSPs) are under more pressure than ever. As FreightTech accelerates operations and customer expectations rise, finance can no longer afford to be reactive.
In global logistics— an industry facing increasingly volatile costs (e.g. fuel, tariffs) and complex, multi-entity compliance— finance teams are increasingly expected to contribute to high-level strategy, guiding decisions that shape resilience and growth.
In short, CFOs have the potential to shift from mere risk managers into true allies for innovation. But, often, their systems are holding them back.
Finance in Transit: From Back Office to Control Tower
Finance is the fiscal lifeblood of logistics firms, providing a critical link in the decision chain. The rise of big data is underscoring this role, yet many global LSPs are still burdened by:
In a sector where margins are thin and complexity is high, this gap represents a real competitive threat.
Modern finance changes that. With the right tools, teams can leverage data insights, automation, and advanced analytics to make proactive, informed decisions.
Considering the scale, speed, and complexity that multinational logistic service providers (LSPs) require, this is no small task.
That’s why HSO has partnered with Microsoft and Aptitude Software to enable finance departments to fulfill their role as enablers of strategic business goals.
With our combined expertise we are empowering the next generation of finance leaders with tools that automate data-centric tasks and leverage AI to open new business opportunities.
