In the last two years delivery costs have increased considerably initially as a result of a shortage of drivers and then as a consequence of the war in Ukraine.
Now is therefore a good time to review your delivery operation to identify opportunities to reduce costs. Key focus areas could include:
- Service commitment to customers
- Appropriate use of subcontractors and parcel and pallet carriers.
- Productivity and utilisation of own fleet
- Cost management
- Contractor charges
Over the years Davies & Robson has helped a wide range of companies improve or develop their transport operations and their contractual terms.
