Data2Logistics Launches
Shipper-Industry Benchmarking Program
Fort Myers, Florida and Rotterdam,
Netherlands March 18, 2013 – Global supply chain information and technology
company Data2Logistics announces the launch of the organization’ Shipper-Industry
Benchmarking Program, providing a consultative review of a company’s freight
shipping costs, comparing findings with industry benchmarks identified by Data2Logistics,
to determine areas for cost reduction in conjunction with the savings scale
probable to achieve through carrier and service level optimization. The initial
consultation is currently a complementary service for companies managing
shipping payment in-house, through a 3PL and/or utilizing a freight bill
payment service.
Data2Logistics offerings reduce
supply chain costs associated with product transportation through discovery; at
the core a business intelligence portal providing for data mining of a shipper’s
current information addressing their logistical needs in relation to
marketplace options, enabling them to make optimized time and cost-effective
decisions, domestically and globally. Implementation of discovery’s results
includes support functions relating to pooled purchasing, RFP management,
carrier negotiations, transportation management system software utilization,
inbound routing and network analysis, along with informed freight bill auditing
and payment services.
Data2Logistics’ services enhance organization’s logistics, supply
chain, operations, finance and accounting processes, providing information needed to control costs for all modes of
transportation both domestically and internationally via LTL, TL, parcel, overnight
express, ocean, air and rail carriers. Having full service operations in Fort
Myers, Florida, Salt Lake City, Utah and Rotterdam, Netherlands enables
Data2Logistics to support companies shipping domestically and internationally, with
staff attuned to local cultures and unique business environments.
Data2Logistics
assists Global 1000, Fortune 1000 and SMB companies to reduce their shipping
costs by providing an outsourced opportunity to efficiently process, audit,
account code and pay their freight at a significantly lower cost than internal
processes. Clients also benefit from the identification of more carrier
overcharges than their internal systems can identify. The company provides
actionable information to better manage and control transportation cost. As a
single source of information for all modes of transportation on a global basis,
Data2Logistics identifies and reports opportunities for savings and the reasons
for variances in trends. Savings opportunities can be derived from modal
shifts, consolidation of shipments, improved carrier utilization, and
adjustment to shipment size, as well as monitoring accessorial costs. Reviewing
approaching US$20 billion in freight billing from thousands of carriers
annually, the company provides a single-source solution resulting in savings
averaging 5%-15% of product shipping expenditures per year.
