In our experience, inbound shipments are highly under managed.
Vendors of products and materials usually "call the shots"
when it comes to selecting carriers for shipments to your company's
facilities. They determine what the freight charges will be and
they add them to your invoice price, either "buried" in
the form of prepaid delivered pricing, or as a prepay-and-add item.
Most often, a freight bill is not provided to support these added
freight charges, and in many cases vendors make money on freight,
so you wind up paying more for your products than you should. In
addition, you have little or no control over the carriers coming
at you, which can result in delivery scheduling problems, delays,
and poor overall service quality. Effective Inbound Shipment Management
from Business Logistics services can enable you to gain control over this
situation.
