Manage-By-Fact
(MBF):
Regardless if we are on-site managing your transportation
function or
providing market test expertise, our findings
and results are fact based.
Tools:
Using time tested software tools provides you with reliable results:
- We offer a routing & rating software tool that provides you
with carrier pricing (in ascending order) and transit time for each of
your core carriers, removing the guess work out of carrier
selection.
- TMS
(Transportation Management System) focuses on your
truckload shipments.
Because of the large potential savings by
“spot buying” truckload shipments
on a daily basis, TMS is able to electronically bid out your lane to hundreds
of potential
pre-certified
carriers and have a confirmed rate completed
within
hours of
receiving your shipment order. To ensure quality service
TMS
tracks each
shipment from pick-up through delivery at the
final destination.
- Optimization software is used to facilitate the consolidation of
LTL shipments into truckload volumes for milk run delivery.

Logistic Alternative:
No stone goes unturned.
-
Our subject matter experts begin with the fundamentals of
establishing a baseline, then move to benchmarking, carrier bid packages, compliance
to using core carriers, accessorial analysis and carrier contracts.
-
The next steps are to analyze: cube & weight utilization; weekly shipment
activity; customer specific shipment activity; consolidation opportunities;
establish a bill back program (for collect inbound
shipments); investigate
small package zone skip; pool
distribution program;
product class verification;
and FAK versus actual
class impacts.
-
In the final steps we’ll evaluate: modal shifts, within mode shifts,
use
of consortiums, self billing & payment of carriers via
electronic funds
transfer, and integration within the companies
supply chain.
