I have always been fascinated with the term “orchestration.” Being a cello player who has participated in many different orchestras, I immediately saw the correlation between an orchestra and the world of business. Every good orchestra has an even better conductor; someone who can draw on the strengths of different players (or nodes) to come together creating a beautiful symphony of talent. In the business world, companies who want to excel in whatever they do must learn to be a conductor of sorts as well. You must be able to analyze your current position, the strengths and weaknesses of each player, segment, or market and innovate to create opportunities that provide new value and set you apart from competition.

When thinking about the orchestration of the supply chain industry, Zero Down Supply Chain Solutions is a perfect example. Over the last twenty years, Zero Down has become the one stop shop for all things related to transportation and the supply chain industry. We are constantly looking for new opportunities to provide value to not only our customers, but other players in the market as well.

Zero Down has evolved from what was once solely a consulting firm, to now, an essential player of day-to-day operations for many companies across the globe. Using our proprietary software, FreightOptics, we provide a multitude of services such as parcel audit, optimization, business intelligence, transportation management services, bill pay modules, and much more. Our technology and expertise allow us to connect a multitude of nodes such as technological changes, transportation, distribution and much more to create new value-added opportunities for all in the supply chain. This enables us to be a vital player for many different companies as our services create efficiency for clients’ (the shippers) finance departments, operations departments, the carriers themselves and much more.
