Distribution Logistics Cost Reduction "Never a better time than Now"
|
Customer deliveries and associated
distribution costs keep rising, fuel,
drivers hours costs to name a few just
keep going up and up. Customer do not want
to pay more for the products, therefore
margins are reducing.
Our cost reduction programme is tailored
to both In-house fleets and businesses
using 3pl contractors, the issue are the
same.
|
Some Questions you may be asking
about your current transport &
distribution operation? |
|
|
|
Is our
delivery routing & scheduling optimised? |
|
|
|
Do we have the right number, types & mix of vehicles? |
|
Are our depot's and our 3pl providers depot's in the best location? |
|
Are we getting the best cost & service from our
fleet or our 3pl contractors? |
|
What can we do
when our volumes per drop are reducing, and the numbers of times a customer wants a delivery is increasing? |
| |
-
The fact is that many businesses who use 3pl contractors never look at these factors, take it from us, the contractor will have his own in-efficiencies, and you will be paying for them in your exiting rates.
-
In-house fleets suffer from the same issues.
