An effective supply chain is critical to maintaining a competitive advantage in a dynamic marketplace. But yesterday’s advantage is today’s price of admission.

At Redwood Logistics, we help our customers solve complex logistics and supply chain challenges by working together to identify and apply the right combination of savings, control and technology solutions.

We Believe Every Customer is Unique

At Redwood we employ a Collaborative Freight Management model. We combine our transportation expertise, technology and operation-al process excellence with your people, your knowledge of customer requirements and your existing infrastructure to craft the right solution for your organization.

Our solution will reduce costs, increase visibility and help to mitigate risk within your supply chain.

Whether you have limited resources, or a complex network with out-dated systems, or anything inbetween, we will help you identify the opportunities and tailor a solution to realize them.

Core Areas of Expertise

Transportation Process Excellence - Leverage our knowledge and technology to automate and improve your existing workflow. Or if you prefer, we can implement our managed transportation solution that utilizes our expertise and shipment control center. The choice is truly yours.

TMS Technology - We are experts in the design, configuration and implementation of TMS technology. Every solution is engineered around three core principles: understanding client needs, improving processes through automation and delivering on the commitment to value.

Transportation and Logistics Experts - Our Knowledge Services team is comprised of our logistics engineers and multi-modal procurement experts. We can work with you to plan, design and implement the best solution for your logistics network.

Delivering Value beyond Transportation SavingsLike you, our customers are faced with improving their performance every year. To meet this challenge, we deploy account managers whose primary focus is to identify and implement new opportunities that drive additional value to you. Our account managers are backed by Redwood’s logistics engineers, who are experts at viewing the whole supply chain holistically, and identify opportunities to optimize distribution networks, including additional consolidation and missed savings opportunities.

Rate Analysis, Procurement Services and Carrier ManagementWe combine advanced technology with expert analysis to deliver fast, accurate and effective procurement services. Through rate benchmarking, knowledge of the market and our carrier relationships we deliver competitive rate structures. After the procurement event, we manage carrier performance using a three-ti-er approach: Create long-term relationships with carriers so we know their strengths and they know our customers’ needs, provide customers with unbi-ased feedback and regular reports on carrier service performance, and utilize data and proprietary analytics to identify and address performance issues.

SaaS TMS Configuration and Systems Integration TechnologyWhile most shippers instinctively understand the value of a TMS, only a small segment actually use and apply the features properly. The number one reason – Lack of internal resources. This constraint can be overcome through our TMS configuration and Systems Integration expertise - without a large up-front in-vestment. Gain control of your transportation quickly and effectively while reduc-ing the workload on IT resources. Is your company using multiple legacy sys-tems due to acquisitions? Our Systems Integration technology centralizes your transportation data across your organization into one system.

Business Process AutomationOur transportation and technology experts have the ability to customize our SaaS TMS application to automate transportation-related activities. From the conversion of manual routing guides to automatic match-pay of carrier invoices, we can take repetitive process management activity and automate it. No matter if you are a small, mid-sized, or large volume shipper, we can improve the pro-ductivity and effectiveness of your team through process automation.
