Transport Strategy & Optimisation

The rate of increase of transport costs is accelerating and threatening the profit margins of manufacturers, distributors and logistics companies alike. The Working Time Directive, congestion charging, higher insurance premiums, increased road congestion and increased taxes are conspiring to drive up the cost of moving goods both domestically and internationally.

The traditional "trade-off" approach between customer service and delivery costs has in recent years been put under the microscope as companies seek to minimize transport costs whilst attempting to avoid damaging their competitive situation

Access to the latest relevant performance and cost standards enables us to support improvements to in house operations or negotiate improved terms with third parties.
