Background
Millions of Pounds, Dollars and Euros
are spent of international freight services. In fact, it’s the
fastest growing service sector in world trade. However, few companies
know how much they spend on transport services, or whether they are
getting value for money.
Consequently, freight costs are a very
large and relatively untouched overhead,
where substantial savings can be achieved
How can we help?
Our freight audits offers an informed,
objective and impartial analysis of a clients freight forwarding arrangements.
They concentrate on evaluating whether a company is obtaining value
for money. We would advise the extent to which a forwarder sub-contracts
a clients freight business; whether a clients goods are consolidated;
which routings, airlines and shipping lines are used; whether the freight
rates are competitive in relation to the service levels; and whether
the ancillary charges are reasonable. A client could use the findings
of a freight audit as a comfort check, or a bargaining tool to obtain
an improved deal on rates and service levels from current, or future
suppliers of freight services.
Our proven freight
tender methodology has resulted in
improved service levels and savings
in excess of $1.5 million for at least
two clients.
