 INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS
At least $2,000,000 in sales are required to produce the same Bottom Line Profit as $100,000 in savings. The problem is that most Consultants look only at negotiating with the carriers, and maybe shuffling the warehouse. We look at the business requirements of your business, and work toward maximizing results for your customer while minimizing costs.
Let us save money for your company.
- Is your business plagued by slow delivery to or from international locations and/or clients?
- Are you wasting precious dollars by unrealistically shipping "on demand"?
- Are you paying unnecessary duties and taxes?
- Are your company's "cost reduction" efforts based mainly upon negotiating rates with carriers and freight forwarders?
- Are there circumstances under which it is cheaper, faster, and/or better to purchase at the site of need instead of shipping?
We can institute procedures that provide substantial savings, and provide a rapid ROI for the dollars spent on our services. We will train your key personnel in the use of these techniques so that your company can maintain savings year after year.

We fix the "unnoticed" and "minor" issues that cost your company very substantial amounts of money.
We will help you build Management Control Procedures that allow your non-senior shipping and/or warehouse staff to determine WHEN it is (and is not) effective to ship "right now", WHO they are to contact for "exceptions", how you can save $$$ by designing for shipment, and how to comply with US and international regulations.
We will also address several other important issues that impact item packaging, commercial invoice descriptions, export/import delays, labeling, and marking of products and shipments. We can help you align your operations to regulations that apply to specific business segments, to specific U.S. states, and/or to specific countries. |
