Maximising the Value of 3rd Party Spending

Transportation Rate Benchmarks

Whether you are a company looking to outsource part or all of your supply chain or a 3PL / LLP seeking to expand your outsourcing capabilities, Value Logistics can work with you.

Transportation costs can represent as much as 75 percent of a company's total logistics costs. A thorough review of your transportation contracts and rates along with shipping activity enables us to benchmark your carrier rates.

Business process outsourcing (BPO) is both a tactical and strategic alternative for creative, leading-edge organizations. Value Logistics can work with you to define requirements, identify alternatives, negotiate arrangements and implement the program. We understand that process, technology and people are vital for outsourcing success.

Outsourcing is done for many reasons which include:-

• To provide initial transformation of the supply chain.
• To reduce costs.
• To increase service level performance.
• To become lean by reducing the level of fixed costs.
• The improvement in inventory levels.
• The reduction of cycle times.
• To gain agility.
• To integrate mixed supply chains.
• To create a competitive supply chain.
