The Legacy Tech Problem in Freight:

How Legacy Systems Stifle Growth Under the Radar

The number one goal we hear spoken by executives in transportation and logistics is, "We want to grow."

However, one big reason for limited growth often goes undetected.

One of the easiest factors of business growth to overlook, that inevitably leads to slowed growth, is the dilemma of legacy systems. The aging of technology solutions is a slippery matter to manage, one without a clear way to identify the point at which a system's aging becomes detrimental.

Many companies avoid dealing with this issue, or don’t even realize how negatively their tech is actually impacting their business. It’s often very late in the game when companies finally take note, and even later when they take action. In these cases, it is crucial to point out that a more timely response would have benefitted them in a greater way.

Legacy systems cannot be something to ignore until they bring bigger problems.

This report discusses the the growth block, the cost of legacy systems and the lost opportunities caused by legacy tech. For example, if you're struggling to maintain older systems, you are likely missing out on the flexibility & safety of the cloud, automation, sales appeal, company culture, and more. Modernizing your tech stack to take advantage of these opportunities becomes a significant growth accelerator.

Most importantly, our white paper also provides a plan for how to move forward: away from outdated tech and toward a more optimized and growth-enabled freight business.

The time is now to get out the legacy system rut.
