Identify, Evaluate and Recommend Third Party Logistics (3PL) Providers
Are you thinking about transitioning part or all of your warehouse or transportation operations to a 3PL provider? Need to re-evaluate your current 3PL relationship?
Developing the right strategy can result in warehousing and/or transportation cost savings of up to 30%. Many companies lack the internal bandwidth or specialized market data to evaluate 3PL rate cards and service commitments effectively.
To determine advantages of self-run warehousing versus 3PL providers, our approach includes a detailed baseline cost modeling exercise, comprehensive RFP creation, competitive bid normalization, and contract negotiation support.
Improving Productivity, Throughput and Safety through Improved Quality
With increased demand for labor and competitive labor markets, productivity and efficiency are the ultimate answers to fulfilling orders accurately and on-time.
Our approach is improving processes through incremental improvements that eliminate non-value-added activities, standardize best-practice movements, and improve pick accuracy.
