Tariffs and Technology: Software’s Role in Navigating Trade Uncertainty
Partner(s):

Importers and exporters have long relied on platforms to manage the tricky nuances of global trade compliance, but recent trade policy actions between the US and its trading partners have shone a brighter light on this corner of the logistics technology world. So-called global trade management software encompasses a large set of functions, from product classification to duty reduction initiatives. With global trade regulations and tariffs changing seemingly by the day, shippers and their service providers are under intense scrutiny to not just be in compliance but also to find strategies that keep them ahead of their competitive peers. This one-hour webcast, encompassing perspective from experts in the world of trade compliance and global trade management technology, will delve into how shippers should prepare themselves to invest in core trade management platforms, upgrade the technology they have, or try new emerging point solutions based on automation.

MIDYEAR REPORT: Managing the Uncertainty in Intermodal Rail
Intermodal rail volumes began 2025 on strong footing, but rising geopolitical tensions and trade disruptions have clouded the outlook for the second half of the year. With ocean carriers increasingly blanking sailings out of China, western U.S. railroads are bracing for a drop in international intermodal volume to inland hubs such as Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, and Memphis. Eastern railroads may also feel some impact on traffic bound for Atlanta and the Ohio Valley.
Without a swift return to global trade stability, the ripple effects are likely to spill into domestic intermodal as well. J.B. Hunt reports that 20% to 30% of its intermodal business originates on the West Coast, closely aligning with Intermodal Association of North America estimates of 28% to 30% originating on the West Coast. Schneider cites a similar range, noting 15% to 25% of its intermodal traffic depends on US imports.
Cross-border volumes with Mexico under the USMCA may provide a modest cushion, but a sharp decline in West Coast demand could lead to a softer peak season and an absence of surcharges for shippers. At the same time, domestic intermodal contract pricing remains stagnant nationwide, with little expectation of movement until truckload spot and contract rates begin to rise.
This webcast will break down all these developments and more. We’ll examine market trends, pricing dynamics, and rail service performance, while also opening the floor to hear what’s on your mind.
