We Specialize in Reducing Freight Expenses and Fuel Surcharges |
Freight costs and fuel
surcharges can substantially cut profits, and most companies
are looking for ways to save money in these areas. We'll use
our proven methods to find the best ways to reduce costs for
your company, just like we've helped many other companies
since 1989.
Our approach is very effective and is
designed to produce savings quickly. We'll start by
conducting a freight analysis and audit to evaluate shipment
lanes, volumes, rates, fuel surcharges, and carriers to
identify areas where your costs can be reduced. Then we'll
develop a customized Savings Strategy that will enable you
to start reducing costs quickly.
Once you approve the Savings Strategy,
we will, at your option, negotiate your rates and will
produce routing guides for your shipments so that the most
cost and service effective carriers, warehouses, and other
service providers are used each and every time. Or, if you
wish, we can provide preliminary coaching to help you
conduct carrier negotiations on your own.
GLM is
not a carrier or a freight forwarder, but an asset-free,
management-based consulting organization. We're unbiased in
our work and can deliver new profits to your company's
bottom line.
Data: The Key to Results
Much better results are achieved when reliable and recent
shipment information is used in the carrier rate
negotiations process. We'll build a freight transportation
database of your company's shipment activities, including
traffic lanes and shipment volumes, the transportation
characteristics of the materials and products you ship and
receive, your freight terms and your company's geographic
shipment coverage. Then we'll assemble this information in
reports that will allow carriers to fully understand your
company's transportation service needs.
The Negotiating Process
We'll identify reputable carriers that are best suited for
your shipments, and we'll provide them with information
about your company and your transportation requirements.
Then, we'll begin the rate and service negotiations process
on your behalf using our highly effective rate target and
RFP Management tools. Upon completion, we'll report the
results to you, including carrier rankings with the amount
of projected savings you can expect to realize. We'll also
handle the appropriate carrier service and rate contracts
for you.
You'll Get the Tools You Need
You'll receive carrier service information as well as
shipment routing guides in hard copy or electronic formats.
And, to keep your programs on track down the road, we offer
options ranging from monthly cost and service monitoring to
complete on-site or off-site outsourced transportation
management services.
