Is outsourcing transportation right for your company?

Is transportation your company’s expertise? Chances are, the answer is no. With transportation being one of the highest expenses in the supply chain, companies can’t afford to run these departments inefficiently. Without the proper knowledge and procedures in place, costs can quickly become out of control.

Outsourcing to a specialist that provides Managed Transportation Services can significantly increase efficiency and reduce costs in these departments.  

With Managed Transportation, you will see improvements through:

Reduced personnel expenses. By outsourcing your transportation department, the burden of hiring and managing an experienced staff will be eliminated.

Strategy. Experts who are skilled in efficiently directing all facets of transportation operations will develop, build, and manage an overall strategy – which will result in a more effective operation.

Cost Savings. By outsourcing to a company with knowledge of industry best practices, key performance indicator (KPI) development, and custom process implementation, operating costs will significantly improve.

Mitigate risk. Handing over transportation management tasks to someone with extensive knowledge in carrier compliance and safety will decrease your overall risk.

Latest technology. Technology customized to help manage transportation tasks can be extremely expensive and time consuming to implement. By outsourcing, you’ll gain access to these powerful tools without the major time and capital investments.

Transportation always will be a necessary cost of doing business; however, enlisting the help of an expert to manage these tasks can improve overall performance and reduce costs.
