Cost optimization in logistics & distribution
Logistics and distribution touch all aspects of a company’s product assembly and supply chain, from the manufacturing process, to when a final product reaches a customer’s hands.
For many organizations, this involves the integration of logistics at each stage of the product’s life, from raw material transport, packaging, warehousing products, and transportation/shipping.
To help businesses manage expenses from their supplier base, including 3PL logistics, fleet management, small package freight, and warehousing, ERA reviews clients’ supplier relationships and expenses.
If there are savings opportunities, organizations can boost their cash flow by investing those dollars in their businesses.
