Well done Eric. It's impressive how you find the corners of the industry that are starting to feel the beginnings of change, and bring them into focus. I noticed the lack of cancelation implications when I took over freight procurement at HP and was appalled that we had no contracts with our beloved logistics providers and had to rely on our volumes and ability to spin a good story to get access to capacity when we needed it. All the while being a lot more interested in clever ways to use "data" (there's that word again) about my varying demand to better match their ability to mange their variabilities with supply. GTK we are at the edges of a new way.
