4flow consulting advices businesses how to optimize their transportation network.
The Challenge
- Transportation networks have grown by chance and not by planning and have not been optimized for years.
- Benchmarks or other enterprise comparison that indicate significant saving potentials.
- Continually increasing logistics costs.
- Transportation tariffs which have remained stable for quite some time.
- Large volume growth, new locations or new products.
- No personal responsibility for transportation cost.
- Low utilization of trucks.
Our Approach
For optimizing transportation, 4flow consulting is especially experienced in creating concepts and implementing network solutions for cost-cutting. Tariff benchmarks, which we update all the time, allow to assess quickly potential improvements.
- Analysis of transportion structures using 4flow vista,
- analysis of transportation strategy and management processes,
- evaluation and internal and external benchmarking of transportation costs,
- identification and coordination of areas with potential,
- development of new concepts, and planning their realization,
- realization of quick-wins, and
- monitoring implementation.
