Transportation
Transportation organizations face constant pressure to reduce costs, improve service, provide global end-to-end visibility, and contribute to sustainability goals. They are inundated with more data and more service options but have less time and staff to analyze and develop optimal solutions.
Transportation strategy
Start with a few fundamental questions:
- Do I have the right processes, organization, and technology in place to effectively manage transportation?
- What is the right strategy that aligns transportation to overall corporate goals?
From there, a company can prioritize which levers to pull to drive real change.
Transportation transformation
Effective and innovative solutions require understanding how transportation connects with—and is influenced by—other parts of the business. By looking across the broader organization, we help identify the root causes of issues, develop improvement strategies, and implement lasting improvements. We deliver transformational change for transportation organizations through:
- Strategy and assessment: Evaluate the current organization, processes, and technology, identify the optimal strategy/approach, and develop a pragmatic improvement roadmap
- Operations transformation: Drive process improvement across functional areas of transportation planning, execution (with regulatory compliance) real-time tracking, metric development / reporting, and freight settlement.
- Technology/3PL evaluation, selection & implementation: Three-phased approach that evaluates the technology strategy and actual business requirements, objectively selects the appropriate operating model (insource vs. outsource), vendors, and systems, and then supports the business through implementation.
- Transportation optimization & modeling: Develop digital models to evaluate and test strategies for optimal mode selection, shipment consolidation, fleet sizing, route building, and last mile delivery.
- Procurement & spend optimization: Support the procurement lifecycle, for all modes globally, through strategy, full bid management (event construction, scenario analysis, negotiation, award implementation), category management, and rate benchmarking to identify opportunity areas for cost reduction, and freight bill payment and audit process improvement.
