Inbound Shipment Management from Business Logistics:Optimize Your Logistics Operations, Improve Your Freight Terms |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Why
are inbound shipments unique? It's because companies don't usually
have the same kinds of controls over them as they do for their outbound
shipments. In fact, many companies pay very little attention to inbound
freight
management which is a critical part of their business. When you
leave shipping choices up to your vendors, you really have no control
over the inflow of your goods and materials, which can lead to production
delays, stock shortages, late deliveries, unhappy customers, and higher
costs for your company.
There is no such thing as "Free Freight"! Vendors often reap extra profits for themselves by building excess freight and handling charges into their delivered, prepay-and-add, and "bundled" product prices. And, when they do negotiate reduced freight rates for themselves, they usually don't pass the savings on to their customers. If your purchases are made on a freight collect basis, you may not be effectively leveraging your own company's buying power to get the lowest freight rates possible. You are the customer and you have the right to determine the freight terms and shipping arrangements that are best for you. Business Logistics services will evaluate your current terms and arrangements, your shipment volumes, and your alternatives to determine the purchasing terms that are best for your company. Business Logistics will help you Gain Control over your Inbound Shipments!
