Transportation
is often a company's most over-looked and under-scrutinized
cost area. Year after year, surveys show that transportation
is by far the biggest segment of overall logistics costs.
On average, companies spend 10 percent of their budgets on
logistics, and transportation, at six percent of most budgets,
is by far the largest component of logistics costs.
Companies
simply must attack what is arguably the greatest potential
area for savings.
Today's
shippers face more cost and service pressures than ever before.
Rising record fuel costs, tight carrier capacity, new hours
of service rules and a customer base that continues to consolidate
and demand more challenging "perfect order" fulfillment
service levels as a starting point mean there has never been
a more critical time to focus on best-in-class performance
in your transportation operations.

Solutions
A dollar
saved in transportation costs falls directly to the bottom
line. Accurate, timely information about shipments allows
companies to better manage costs and improve efficiency, while
infrastructure improvements that utilize the strengths of
each mode reduce gridlock.
A combined investment in technology,
process and infrastructure will allow companies to reach their
true potential while enhancing performance.
