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.
