The challenges facing Intermodal Marketing Companies (IMCs) aren’t new, but the competitive landscape is changing fast. Escalating customer demands, exacerbated by capacity shortages and unpredictability through the system, are increasing the pressure on IMCs to find ways to transform their business. And while the challenges seem clear at the surface, the solutions don’t necessarily come easily.
Digitization is reshaping the landscape of the international container shipping industry as customers require an increased level of real-time visibility, connectivity and transparency.

Today’s freight forwarding landscape is transforming like never before—fueled by a combination of heightened customer expectations, new “digital first” market entrants and great advancements in technology…
With rising consumer demands contributing to high growth in the intermodal market, there is a prime opportunity for small to mid-size intermodal marketing companies (IMCs) to leverage technology to compete with large IMCs. However, in order for these IMCs to have a competitive advantage over high-volume incumbents, they will need better visibility into intermodal market conditions and shipment locations.
Not having the exact location of goods or advanced notice of potential delivery delays can cause a ripple effect through the entire supply chain, affecting a retailers’ ability to keep store shelves stocked or manufacturers and brand owner’s ability to meet customer commit dates. With Blume solutions, brand owners are able to track products during every move, mode, and mile of the supply chain.
