During the recent recession, companies examined some challenging issues with their distribution networks and were able to make improvements in warehouse management and inventory control.
Since that time, however, it appears that few organizations have been able to sustain the long-term gains, according to a research by REL Consulting and CFO Magazine. Supply Chain Management Review reports that recent improvements to logistics operations have largely been due to growing revenue, rather than increased efficiency.
"One would have hoped that the recent recession taught companies a few lessons - manage debt, watch cash flow and tighten our belts," REL associate principal Dan Ginsberg said in a statement. "But this doesn't appear to be the case. The opportunity for companies to generate cash through working capital improvements is larger than ever before."
Transportation route optimization combined with pre- and post-payment billing auditing via Data2Logistics helps handle the manage debt objective.
