Transportation

Transportation solutions involve the end-to-end management of goods movement through ground, rail, air, and ocean modes, and act as an integral part of the end-to-end supply chain. These services are created to streamline logistics by taking care of major functions like transport planning, carrier coordination, rate management, and real-time shipment tracking. Proper transportation logistics not only improves customer service but is also a major chunk of supply chain expense, and therefore strategic planning is a must.

Daily and weekly transportation operations are scheduled to select the most appropriate and economical modes of transport based on individual business requirements. Carrier allocation and continuous monitoring of performance ensure good service, while inbound and outbound logistics are tightly controlled to ensure smooth communication, resolve exceptions quickly, and manage the recovery of products when required.

Shippers enjoy total visibility of their shipment status with state-of-the-art tracking systems that connect to carriers in real-time, giving them confidence and clarity in the progress. Besides this, financial management of related freight functions like auditing of bills, reconciliation of charges, handling of damage claims, and payment is streamlined with lower administration and better cost control.
