It forces you to think outside the box and deploy new tactics to overcome disruptions. With no end in sight for the current challenges in the supply chain, you may want to take another look at implementing a technology solution that will help you conquer those issues. Technology can enhance your visibility and efficiency while helping to control your freight costs to more effectively manage your shipping needs. ## Visibility and Efficiency To prepare for [supply chain disruptions](https://blog.banyantechnology.com/fixing-the-broken-supply-chain), you must rely heavily on technology for increased operational efficiency, enhanced visibility, automation capabilities, and real-time notifications. These capabilities will give you a competitive edge over those shippers or 3PLs that have not deployed an innovative technology solution. Analyzing your shipping data also will help you forecast the likelihood of possible capacity constraints and interruptions by providing you with the information you need in real time to help you make better operational decisions. ## Controlling Costs Technology can also help you [find new opportunities to control freight costs](https://www.banyantechnology.com/resource/capitalizing-on-freight-digitization/) during uncertain times. Knowing what capacity is available and retrieving competitive carrier rates in real-time is a game changer in keeping shipping costs down. The adoption of a technology platform with integrated API connectivity can help you identify capacity and choose a carrier that will move your shipment on your schedule and within your budget. Having more carrier options through your freight pricing technology provider will help minimize the struggle. Shippers and 3PLs that are digitally savvy and have embraced technology solutions fare much better during disruptions within the supply chain than those who rely on manual operations. As labor remains tight and the need for speed and accuracy increases, an innovative technology solution is the answer. ## Did You Know?

We recently added the [QuickShip](https://blog.banyantechnology.com/hubfs/Press%20Releases/Banyan%20Technology%20Quickship-LIT%20Press%20Release_10.4.21.pdf)™ feature to our LIVE Connect™ platform that will positively impact your bottom line.
