Analyze
Data in, graphical picture out. We show you what your network costs and where the money is going before proposing anything.
Overview
We use data to draw a picture of your current supply chain
Optimization starts with a graphical picture of how your freight moves today. From there we run scenarios against your real constraints rather than a theoretical network.
This is an iterative process. Constant dialogue is a base requirement, and many scenarios get discussed as we incorporate the things that cannot change.
- Determine the least-cost shipping mode
- Determine the least-cost providers
- Determine the fastest providers for time-critical freight
- Benchmark your rates against your freight profile
- Evaluate whether you are shipping from the right distribution point
- Model pooling, consolidation and zone skipping
How it works
What you get
Model
Scenarios run against your constraints. Production cycles, service commitments and carrier lead times all stay in the model.
Implement
Using our technology, expertise and capacity we can implement the resulting solution, including the complicated ones.
Our method
PRECISE
Pivoting off our core print media solutions (where we optimize by mode and price to build load plans that hit specific in-home and insertion dates while considering production cycles and carrier lead times) PRECISE was born.
- Pre-planning
- Understand the freight profile, the constraints and the dates before any load plan is built.
- Route Optimization
- Build load plans that hit specific in-home and insertion dates at the lowest defensible cost.
- Execution
- Tender, track and manage the plan through delivery.
- Carrier Selection & Management
- We use carrier partners committed to serving our customers first and foremost.
- Invoice Customization
- Invoice by various rating types and formats, at shipment, weekly or project level.
- Service
- Measure and report on what was promised against what was delivered.
- Enterprise Approach
- Treat the network as a whole rather than optimizing one lane at the expense of another.
