Manufacturer and Suppliers: Driving Down the Logistics Spend

Delivering on service commitments to your customers is a constant challenge. Products and semi-finished goods must be delivered in the most efficient way to protect margins. The constant fluctuation in commodity, fuel, and freight cost makes the day-to-day operational budget a moving target.

Our Software solutions help address two of the most pressing issues in any manufacturer's or supplier's business model:

Transportation: Reducing the Cost of Freight

Whether freight is paid by you or your customer, the consideration of increasing asset utilization should be considered a key metric. Our pallet and load building solutions provide the ability to maximize loads and generate optimal cartons and pallets. Our solution does this by:

• Reducing the number of shipments to your customers by increasing cube and weight.
• Helping you collaborate on purchase order policy requirements.
• Determining in-house or customer full truck requirements.
• Identifying best mix of carton and pallets.
• Generating trucks based on forecasted replenishments for VMI and internal replenishments.

Warehousing: Improving the Throughput of Labor

Today’s customer orders contain more SKU’s, while ordering less volume. This change has caused more complexities in the warehouse pick and pack processes.  Mixed pallets require more handling and time to meet customer expectations. Our solution provides the tools to:

• Identify the optimal order mix to increase FTL orders.
• Develop optimal mix and full pallet configuration.
• Generate accurate and clear instructions to reduce construction of the pallet content.
• Integrate to your WMS to complement the picking and packing processes.
