Getting Value Out of Your Transportation Management

If there’s one thing all types of businesses have in common, it’s high transportation management costs. Data shows that moving your products from the manufacturer to a public warehouse to the end user can consume as much as 50 percent of your supply chain costs. But there is a way to minimize your transportation management costs and increase distribution efficiency. And that solution is outsourcing your distribution to a 3PL like Brendamour Warehousing, Distribution & Services. With transportation management as one of our core services, we have inbound and outbound solutions that will improve the movement of your goods, provide measurable value and lower your costs.

Key Transportation Management Practices

Technology and proven practices. Those are the two key factors for getting the most out of your transportation management plan. In today’s competitive environment, businesses are forced to do more with fewer resources and to rein in costs without cutting quality or impacting customer satisfaction. However, these goals aren’t always possible when you consider the scope and complexity of supply chain networks. That’s where Brendamour’s technology and proven transportation management processes come into play. They are focused on driving value by providing your company with:

- Centralized transportation and logistics management;
- Automated order consolidation;
- The latest advanced technologies that streamline inventory tracking, simplify supply chain processes, enable traceability and improve efficiency;
- Wide-ranging transportation capabilities and consolidation services, such as less-than-truckload;
- Complete, real-time visibility and control that increase your customer satisfaction ratings;
- Methods to get the lowest transportation rates.

Quality transportation management translates to increased efficiency and lower costs, which deliver higher profits and improved customer satisfaction to your business.

Benefits of Our Distribution Services

Transportation management systems are constantly evolving, which is why it’s difficult for businesses to invest in the latest developments without taking capital away from their core business activities. But with a third party logistics provider like Brendamour, our core business is warehousing, distribution and other related services, so we want to invest in new transportation management developments that will enable us to perform 3PL functions that benefit our customers. After all, that’s what we’re in business to do.

For example, business intelligence is an important business factor, which is what you receive from our sophisticated transportation management system (TMS). But you also realize additional benefits, including flexibility, scalability, cost structure and supply chain visibility that allows for traceability and proof of delivery. All of these benefits bring you bottom line profitability without the added costs of equipment, supplies, staff, or other related expenses.

Get Value (Profits) Instead of Spending (Costs)

Most businesses view transportation management as a costly activity. But it’s actually a vital function that can enhance your internal and external operations. And Brendamour can show you how.

When you think about it, a lot of costs go into moving your goods. There are logistics costs, such as warehouse operations, routing, handling and communication; distribution and freight costs, whether domestic or international; fuel costs; and accounting costs. But at Brendamour, we turn these costs into value for your business. We have the technology and transportation management expertise to warehouse and then distribute your products faster, more economically and safer. Our supply chain optimization ensures efficient operations and on-time performance that leads to higher customer satisfaction levels, all while delivering reduced costs to you.
