Freight Management
Inbound logistics can expend more than 40% of an
organization's annual freight budget.* At Echo, we offer custom
inbound freight strategies designed to reduce costs, as well as
increase visibility, efficiency, and productivity.
Challenges in Your Inbound Freight Can Impact Your Entire Supply Chain
• To analyze inbound freight
cost data in detail and find
ways to reduce costs, a
company must manually
sort through paperwork,
check multiple carrier
portals, and compile the
information in several ways.
• Because of the tedious
nature of these processes,
many companies do not
have the resources to
examine inbound shipping
costs, which causes them
to spend more money than
necessary.
Transparency
• Identifying a shipment's
status is a time-consuming
process as it often requires
transportation managers
to manually search through
multiple sources to find all
shipment details.
• Lack of reliable, easily
accessible, and real-time
shipment information can
lead to excess inventory,
sales obstacles, and
changes in supply chain
performance.
Visibility
• While most companies
have guidelines specifying
how suppliers should ship
product to them, many
cannot control if these
instructions are followed,
which can lead to additional
freight expenses for the
company.
• Once the supplier sends out
the shipment, there is no
option to make any changes
to the shipment even if an
adjustment could save time
and money.
