Purpose:The purpose for freight routing is cost control and assuring proper service. Compliance man-agement monitors, how well all participants in the supply chain adhere and execute according to the supply chain parameters.

Description:We supply central supply chain coordinator(s) for all shipments that need to be actively routed to assure proper, service and cost effective trans-portation. We execute and make transportation decisions according to parameters, which we established with our clients. We monitor routing compliance usually in conjunction with our freight payment and audit services. We issue score cards for various shippers

Benefit Examples:

LTL Shipments over 10,000 lbs are less expensive routed via truckload carrier. We make the deter-mination and if appropriate, we schedule the right truckload carrier for timely delivery, we follow-up to assure that pickup occurred and we monitor shipment progress and delivery.Critical Shipments that could not be readied in time to allow normal transportation need to be routed via another transportation solution. Usu-ally there are methods substantially less expen-sive than EMS that we select to assure timely arrival of the freight.

LOAD PLANNING AND TENDERING

Purpose:The purpose of load planning is to leverage over-all volumes of one or multiple shippers to reduce transportation cost and improve service.

Description:Depending on the overall volume, scope and planning horizon, we use computer assisted processes to determined how to route all shipments and how to combine shipments given the cost and service parameters and equipment availability.

FREIGHT PAYMENT & AUDIT

Purpose:We assure that each carrier is paid the correct amount due. We reduce overall Accounts Paya-ble transactions. We provide freight cost visibili-ty. In some cases we also perform freight rebilling for external clients.

Description:Our approach is to first simplify the overall freight rate process and the carrier base. Our objective is to make the overall process as streamlined as possible, as complexity raises costs for our clients. Our process is customized for each client, depending on the available data. We typically check each invoice for correct amount, check for freight terms, correspond with carriers on errone-ous invoices and we pay each carrier once a week. We consolidate payments and transac-tions for our clients which usually decreases accounts payable transactions for our clients by a factor of 1:30 to 1:50 or more. For some clients we also report carrier routing compliance and excess transportation charges incurred by suppli-er routing violations.

Benefits:Our service reduces the cost of overpayment of freight charges and improves internal and exter-nal routing compliance. As a bi-product, we improve freight cost visibility and facilitate inter-nal and external back charging of freight costs.

Document Services

Many countries throughout the world require document legalization as a function of the export process. Documents must first be legalized in order for goods to be permitted into these countries. Following the legalization procedure will minimize your export hassles and allow your particular goods access into these countries without delays or fines.

Documents should be legalized only by the appropriate Embassy, Consulate, Chamber of Commerce, or Document Service provider, typically located in any major city or port. Of course, document legalization is a service that generally entails a fee. Please check with the Consulate or Service Provider you have chosen to determine the exact fees for your shipment. Required documents and fee schedules may differ accord-ing to commodity type. It is important to ensure all your documents are in order before a shipment is en route or arrives at its desti-nation, to avoid incurring delays or fines.

CONSULTING SERVICES

Transportation SourcingWe offer transportation sourcing services on a consulting fee basis or on a contingency fee basis. On past assignments, we achieved savings between 10% to 30%. We have provided transportation consulting for LTL, truckload, ocean freight, small package ground and air shipping. Besides carrier cost we typically address a number of other issues, such as real service requirements, transaction processing, formal contractual agree-ments, performance standards and measurement systems.

Supply Chain DesignWe lend our experience from our own sourcing efforts to our consulting clients. Unlike the consulting only houses, we help our clients develop realistic solutions, identify the right carriers for the requirements, allow for estimated budgeting and costing before the supply chain is implemented. We shorten the implementation cycle and avoid the potential dead-ends that arise with all conceived solutions. We bring a breadth of knowl-edge that includes TRA Customs matters, systems issues, carrier limitations, legal issues and more.

Data Collection and Cost AnalysisTransportation costs usually escape to a large degree the traditional accounting reporting. Costs are lumped in product sourcing cost, office expense, vendor cost or rebilled to clients. Multiple systems with limited integration add to the lack of accurate information about transportation cost. Developing and accurate picture of the total transportation cost is usually the starting point for most logistics projects.

Process ReengineeringProcess reengineering in the logistics environment yields great success potential for many organizations. Processes usually grow over time in unplanned ways. Eventually the amount of duplication, unnecessary processing reaches the point, where a process review can yield cost and service improvements. The use of electronic systems, new carrier capabilities and better process integration offer much opportunity.

Freight Policy Design and CostingHow do you give your customers the right incentives for ordering in the right quantities and the right intervals. How do you manage your logistics cost exposure from your clients, we help you identify the right methods and the associated costs.
