Transport makes up, on average, 50% of logistics budgets and it is increasingly challenging to deliver amidst a chronic driver shortage, increasing emissions regulations, limited delivery windows and omni-channel fulfilment pressures.
We work with your team to understand the current transport operation and identify opportunities by evaluating against best practice and alternative scenarios. We utilise a mixture of in-house built tools and modelling and also have access to leading market software. We have developed our methodical and analytical approach through vast experience of projects across a variety of sectors and geographies.
Potential benefits of transport optimisation can include:
- Savings in transport and freight costs
- Reduction in ‘wasted’ miles
- Minimise inter-site movements
- Reduced carbon footprint to drive wider sustainability goals
- Make transport a strategic asset
- Improve On-Time-In-Full (OTIF) delivery performance
- Improve service offering and capability
- Identify strategic partners aligned to your values
