If you’re looking to save costs on shipping and freight, take a look at your inbound freight program. Depending on the industry and size of the company, a business can spend more than 40% of its annual freight budget on inbound shipping, according to the 2010 study on transportation and logistics by the Aberdeen Group, a research firm in Boston. A more efficient inbound freight program can minimize delays, save money and even reduce confusion.
75% of companies surveyed by the Aberdeen Group report that inbound freight management is a key focus point. In one example, a company with over $18M per year in inbound freight costs reported paying invoices from over 100 carriers – despite having negotiated preferred terms with five carriers and stipulating their use on each order.
The 45 to 60 minute webinar on how to combine both technology and expertise to tackle ever increasing inbound freight costs will cover the following material:
• An Introduction to the Landscape of How Big is the Problem of Inbound Freight Management
• 3 Challenges Logistics Executives Face in Inbound Freight Shipping
• 8 Objectives to Consider and 4 Areas of Focus for Confident Inbound Freight Management
• How TMS Automation Aids in Inbound Freight Management and What to Require in a TMS
• The Advantage of Combining both expert service and technology for Inbound Freight Management
• Conclusion and wrap up
• Q&A Session
