Inbound Shipment Management FAQ:

What Tools and Methodologies do you use to optimize our Logistics Operations?

We start by developing a list of your vendors and their freight pricing terms. This information is supplemented by receiving logs that we can provide in the event you are not currently tracking delivering carrier information. We then work with you to determine the difference between each vendor's delivered pricing vs. F.O.B. origin pricing (or backhaul allowance); we then perform a cost benchmarking step to identify what the current market rates are for transportation & logistics services for each type of shipment made, comparing the numbers to see where gaining control over freight makes economic sense. In situations that have savings potential, we develop shipment routing guides and work with your purchasing staff, your receiving department and your vendors to convert to the more cost-efficient carriers.
