Welcome to Data2Logistics


Thanks for your interest in Data2Logistics; a bit on who we
are:

Data2Logistics enhances freight transportation operations
through business intelligence system data mining, helping meet goals for cost
reduction and improved oversight. We provide focused resources to support
projects relating to pooled purchasing, RFP management, carrier negotiations,
transportation management system software, inbound routing, and network
analysis, along with informed audit and freight payment services. Our global
reach provides ability to support all modes of transportation, optimizing
logistics operations domestically and globally.

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. We provide actionable information to better manage and control
transportation cost, and supports clients with their carrier bid preparation,
benchmarking, proposal analysis and negotiation. 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 over $15
billion worth of freight bills from thousands of carriers annually, Data2Logistics
provides a single-source solution results in savings averaging 5%-15% of
product shipping expenditures per year.

Also meet-up with us on Twitter, LinkedIn and Xing. Looking
forward to your foresight!

Supply Chain Improvement Research for SMB Retailers

RSR Research‘s March 2012 study, Retail Supply Chain 2012: Globalization, Localization, and Cross-Channel, highlighted retailers’ main operational challenge to realigning their supply chains to meet the challenges created by consumers’ omni-channel shopping behaviors: that past sales are no longer enough to predict future demand. That concern, however, is largely driven by retailers with annual top line revenues of more than $500 million. Retailers whose top lines are less than $500 million (SMB retailers) are much more challenged by an internal issue: organizational friction between the merchants and supply chain operators. Given this friction, perhaps it is not surprising that “too much inventory” and “lost sales from out of stocks” are also top challenges for these retailers.
One fix: save logistics spend $’s with Data2Logistics.
