CO-MANAGE YOUR Secondary transportation WITH A 3PL

There are many benefits TO CO-MANAGE YOUR Secondary transportation WITH A 3PL

Transportation is very labour intensive, requiring trading partners to have almost constant communication with each other. As a shipper, this means you will manage all the dispatch, tracking, payment, audit, scheduling and handling of exceptions with each carrier. While many carriers prefer to work directly with shippers, the amount of workload is often prohibitive. Using a co-managed approach gives businesses the flexibility to maintain their existing relationships with their transporters and customers while offloading customized levels of administrative, planning and execution functions to a 3PL partner.

The first step toward co-management of the logistics function is to adopt a strategic, end-to-end view of your supply chain and its business function within your organization. This process can open your eyes to the potential to improve performance and productivity. With a co-managed approach, companies retain as much or as little control as they want, while reducing costs, improving operating efficiencies, increasing customer satisfaction and driving continuous business growth and improvement.

What are the benefits of this type of approach?

Streamlines supply chain processes that improve organizational performance
Simplifies freight payment and audit process so carriers get paid faster
Eases burden of finding capacity in a tight market
Offers flexibility for meeting customer demand
Delivers expertise across all transportation modes and industries
Eliminates the hassles of day-to-day transportation management, allowing you to focus on your core business
Enhances decision-making ability that leads to better bottom line results

Building upon the proficiency of a proven partner can expand the range and quality of services you are able to offer your customers, allowing you to position yourself more favourably against competitors. For example, an experienced 3PL partner will be able to help you differentiate by:

Offering new or more targeted services
Improving speed and agility to accommodate market demand
Expanding access into new markets or manufacturing facilities
Testing and implementing new supply chain models
Identifying alternate sources and resources
Gathering and reporting quality metrics
Sharing valuable insights into industry trends and best practices
