Managed Transportation

Material procurement is simply one part of procurement logistics. This also includes packing, distributing, and storing the products. HK GKK Managed Transportation offers sourcing and selection guidelines, terms and conditions, compliance, communication, and purchasing procedures to help decrease the cost of materials acquisition as much as feasible.

As a shipper, you must verify that carriers offer trustworthy shipping services while keeping transportation costs low. We help you with this quest by handling Carrier Management, RFP Bid Management, and Tariff Creation and Hosting.

Your transportation operations are evaluated by the transportation modeling, which also prioritizes opportunities and identifies areas for improvement.

Current business procedures, benchmarking, carrier strategy, mode use, consolidation, cost and rates, and service metrics are among the services offered and the situations addressed.

Additionally, we run what-if scenarios for changing suppliers, manufacturing processes, growing, or shrinking volumes, service enhancements, and other service-related restrictions. To maximize your transportation budget while assisting your activities in reaching their maximum potential, we develop a road map.
