An integral part of any supply chain is transportation; products often move between the factory, warehouses, distributors, wholesalers and retailers before reaching the end consumer. With an advanced Transportation Management System {TMS} and an experienced transportation team, ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½can design, implement, and optimize your supply chain. 

Challenges

In our experience, most companies are concerned with the same key challenges, to varying degrees:

  1. Reducing shipping costs while shortening delivery times
  2. Providing real time track and trace capabilities
  3. Analyzing historical data to continually optimize the supply chain


According to a study conducted by Forrester regarding shipping policies, "92% of the top 50 retailers studied had free shipping policies.'' The implications for your business? With the advent of Amazon Prime's free two-day shipping model, customers have come to expect cheaper and faster delivery methods. To keep up with these changing demands while not breaking the bank, companies need to reexamine their supply chain. The findings from a Morningstar report on the subject indicate that this challenge has positive financial implications for businesses who adapt; Amazon Prime customers spend an average of $600 more per year than non-Prime customers!
