Chassis provision has been a topic of discussion for several decades, but most acutely over the past five years. CCM was created by the ocean carriers to drive efficiency into the management of their combined chassis fleets. This was achieved by creating the Inter-Operable Gray Pool (IOGP) concept, where significant synergies were introduced, creating value by saving tens of millions of dollars while also improving service delivery surrounding international chassis provision. The value CCM brought to the supply chain with its cost-efficient operations and high-quality service features became a hallmark of CCM.

While the IOGP model is often considered the preferred chassis provision choice among industry professionals, evolving market dynamics compel us to look through a wider lens and recognize chassis provision’s role in a more broad and rather complex intermodal supply chain. Over the past several years, CCM has recognized this changing dynamic and has been assessing how to contribute value to the supply chain while evolving its business model to meet new demands.

Driven by its ability to deliver high-quality service via an efficient and transparent cost model, CCM’s success has been propelled by its core competencies — technology and organizational expertise — which will serve as the key factors in shaping the future of CCM and its product and service offerings that will add significant value to the supply chain.

Looking ahead, in addition to managing IOGP pools, CCM will expand its footprint as well as its value proposition by building on its foundation of state-of-the-art technology and unmatched operational knowledge and expertise.

As such, we are looking forward to 2021 as we redefine the value we bring to the supply chain by introducing new technology-driven products and services that leverage our strengths, elevate our role within the supply chain, and drive CCM’s evolution.
