Non-Production Shipping Opportunities Opportunities for Improvement • Empower employees • Control Freight Usage • Streamline handling inyour mailroom / dock • Automate documentation • Gain visibility to costs • Consolidation of carriers / accounts One high-tech firm found that they had 73 different contracts in place with parcel carriers around the world. By consolidating that to three or four carriers that could serve the entire company, they found they would save an estimated 10% from their annual parcel spend.
