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.

U.S. Inbound Port Volume Forecast to Grow 10% in October – a Positive Consumer Economic Sign for Supply Chains, Retailers

Import cargo volume at the nation's major retail container ports is expected to increase 10% year-on-year in October, as merchants wrap up the annual shipping cycle for holiday merchandise, according to the monthly Global Port Tracker report. This year, that’s a big deal. It’s indication that domestic consumers appear confident to spend in Q4, and carry corresponding credit balances into next year. With consumer spending 70% of U.S. Gross Domestic Product, both purchasing decisions are decidedly positive economic points for retailers and their supply chains. Will this B2C momentum translate to B2B/C manufacturers in 2013?
Let’s factor manufacturing, distributing and retailing growth progressing into the upcoming year. As you plan your supply chain moves, keep cost conservation in-mind. Data2Logistics Professional Services Group helps remove fiscal waste throughout inbound and outbound transportation, with route service optimization, freight bill auditing for accuracy and bill payment services available as well, all from a single, convenient cost-saving source. Ship Smarter and Save.
