Freight Procurement, Contract Design and Negotiation
LogCentrix works with clients to develop a structured approach to freight procurement. This approach starts with gaining an understanding of the client’s transportation requirements and shipping process in detail, assessing the capabilities and cost effectiveness of their current carrier base and assessing the external marketplace for alternative carrier solutions. Procurement strategies (renegotiation, targeted negotiation with other parties, broad based tender and in-sourcing) are developed based on needs and marketplace dynamics. The result – a collaborative relationship between the client and its carriers where all parties have an in-depth understanding freight dynamics and cost drivers.
Transportation Planning and Capacity Optimization
LogCentrix helps companies structure their transportation flows to increase efficiencies; lowering costs and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This is achieved through taking a deep analytical dive into a company’s processes, freight flows and the information technology that supports logistics activities. We develop capacity utilization measures, benchmark current performance and discover the underlying process, policy and human factors that are the causes for the gap between current and optimal.
