Our corporate office is located in Louisville, Ky., which is strategically located geographically within 500 miles of 50% of the U.S. population. In addition, UPS World Port, all points overnight hub, is located in Louisville with overnight access to the entire U.S. and most of the world. In 2002 Expansion Magazine gave Louisville a five-star logistics rating (highest possible rating) and ranked it 15th among the top 100 metropolitan areas. That same year, Expansion Magazine ranked the best places to start a new distribution center, and Louisville ranked 2nd out of 328 major metropolitan areas evaluated.
Outsourced Transportation Management
As a non-asset based company, we have no vested interest in offering a set of predetermined transportation solutions. Therefore, we are in a position to negotiate with carriers to find the best rates and service available in the market place. Our purchasing and performance monitoring system is designed to provide you with the best value (service + cost) for your transportation dollar.
New Product Launch
Working with your product design and implementation team, we can put together a transportation plan for your go-to-market strategy. Our consultants have also worked in and directed marketing efforts for large corporations and could lend valuable insight to your product design and implementation.
Purchasing Assessment
Evaluate current volume, pricing, service levels and contracts to make sure that you are getting the most for your transportation and distribution dollars. Audits will be conducted to review processes, paperwork flow, and purchasing practices to insure that all awards are based solely on their merit for the organization. Routine auditing is an excellent way to identify potential conflicts of interests as they relate to managing your transportation budget.
Supply Chain Modeling
In conjunction with our Strategic Alliance Partner, NuTech Solutions, we can use cutting edge modeling techniques to evaluate complex supply chains in an attempt to predict recurring variances, inventory levels, demand forecasts, vendor execution, and external factors that impact the overall performance of your supply chain. NuTech has produced significant ROI in relation to their work in this industry segment for some well-known Fortune 500 companies.
Warehouse Solutions
For the same reasons as mentioned above, under Order Fulfillment, Louisville is a great place to locate a distribution center or warehouse location. We can work with your team to evaluate site selection, service providers, and management solutions. We can work with your I.T. platform or work together with you to implement a shared platform to track inbound/outbound shipments, inventory levels, etc.
