Transportation Program Setup

This service provides clients with guidance to determine the effectiveness of existing transportation management tools and practices in servicing business operating requirements. We follow with a review of state-of-the-market technology for transportation planning and execution, acquisition options and cost justification. Our consultants have extensive knowledge of the market for these tools, as well as industry practices. We can guide your company through the process to acquire better transportation tools to improve delivery performance and lower costs.

Transportation management tools include systems for load planning and optimization; routing and scheduling; tracking and tracing; as well as hardware for communication. These systems can simplify the task of filling trailers, low cost mode and carrier selection, finding better routes, on-time delivery, and tracking.

Clients typically use this service to answer the following questions:

Do we have adequate tools to plan loads and assign carriers for multiple modes?
Are the tools available on the market better than the ones we use now?
How can we justify the purchase cost from a qualitative and quantitative standpoint?
Which tools will help us to build better loads and routes?
How can we improve shipment visibility for tracking and tracing?
