Top Transportation Takeaways
Did you know?
Even though enVista’s Transportation Cost Management practice may be best known for its Parcel Audit and Parcel Contract Analysis and Negotiation services, are you aware enVista can also support cost reduction and greater visibility for other modes of transportation?
enVista has developed unique methodologies and approaches for Less-Than-Truckload (LTL), Truckload (TL), Intermodal and Ocean Container shipments in order to enable our clients to more effectively manage and contain shipping costs for these modes.
For example, in the area of LTL, not only has enVista developed a proprietary carrier “Operating Ratio” analysis modeling tool, but it also employs top-notch analysts, including former directors of Industrial Engineering for major LTL carriers, who speak and understand the carriers’ language and are extremely effective in negotiating optimal rates. In many cases enVista analysts have identified alternative carriers, which better fit our clients’ needs and service objectives.
This Operating Ratio modeling tool analyzes and considers areas such as: primary lane utilization, carrier specific break bulks, skid/package attributes, headloading and backhaul lane opportunities, as well as many other carrier efficiency variables.
Companies utilizing these services from enVista typically realize savings of anywhere from 5-20% or more.
In addition to helping clients reduce their shipping costs with our analytic tools and negotiation strategies, enVista also provides comprehensive Non-Parcel (LTL, TL, etc. ) freight invoice audit and payment services. enVista utilizes a web-based platform for greater visibility and employs highly experienced auditors who review clients’ freight bills in detail to ensure compliance with all contracted pricing and terms. In addition, enVista provides GL Cost Allocation and a web-based Rate Shopping tool.
