We will find the most suitable solution in terms of lead time, quality and cost. We handle planning, execution and administration of all transport operations. Regardless of size, weight and destination, we select the most favourable distribution solution by using the freight management module of the CargoWRITE suite. Our reliable Track & Trace system allows you to follow the shipment from pick-up to final delivery. The transport modes used are parcels, full container loads, rush delivery shipments, groupage, air freight and sea freight.
Freight management includes:
- Order management
- Shipment planning
- Freight execution and monitoring
- Freight billing
- Performance reporting
To improve your distribution model, we perform a deep-dive analysis of your order data. Using advanced simulation tools for freight strategy design, we recommend the best possible supply chain model. We will also respond to changes in your customer and/or supplier base, service requirements, capacity or modalities that call for a re-evaluation of your network design. Moreover, we can help you evaluate your current network set-up and identify potential savings.
Based on your business model and requirements, we choose from our extensive carrier base or use your current carriers, depending on what suits you best. By leveraging our buying power we are able to negotiate good rates and ensure capacity. In addition to the selection of carrier, we measure the carriers on a day-to-day basis using key performance indicators (KPIs) and scorecards based on your requirements. We also audit the processes and carriers as a guarantee for our services.
Our freight management system supports various ways of invoicing formats and rate brackets. We check and audit supplier bills and can invoice you in various ways, from cost-plus pricing to one consolidated invoice per period.
By use of return authorisation, we manage commercial returns and returns of rejected or defective goods. Once received, we can test or repack the goods for sale or segregate them for repair, reconditioning or recycling.
We offer short-term storage and consolidation of shipments for delivery at our cross-docking locations. Goods for a specific order are placed in the cross-docking area awaiting the arrival of other shipments for the same order before they are all consolidated and prepared for delivery.
