Competitive and Industry Intelligence
As logistics experts, we stay abreast of the macroeconomic environment as well as the transportation marketplace to understand current and future trends. With this information, we are able to better serve our clients in bidding events as well as ongoing supplier management.
Bidding Projects
We can assist your company in the carrier selection process. We will help author RFI/RFPs based on your requirements. Then we can either run an on-line bidding event, including reverse auctions and sealed bids, or a traditional paper bid. Finally, we can analyze bid results and recommend the right vendor based on your goals.
Supplier Contract Management
The contract between shipper and carrier is often overlooked in its importance. Many times, a carrier’s contract is one-sided in its focus. Through our contract management process, we negotiate the best contract for you.
Our purchasing experience can ensure your contract has verbiage to protect you and your materials – paying special attention to liability, performance, score carding, regulatory, and claims clauses.
Performance Management
We can measure your carrier’s performance using up to 43 data elements and 38 metrics. With this data, we scorecard each carrier and hold periodic reviews with you to highlight improvement opportunities.
