Transportation Optimization
Manufacturer optimizes transportation spend and execution.
An electronics manufacturer partnered with SCPI to tackle rising transportation costs driven by inefficient lane and mode selection, excessive accessorials, and limited freight visibility.
This project resulted in an optimized mode and lane strategy with targeted rebid opportunities, stronger shipment execution controls, and a managed transportation operating model delivering improved annual freight savings while improving compliance and inbound visibility.
Challenge
- Transportation spend was elevated due to inefficient lanes and modes, high fuel surcharges and accessorials, and limited inbound visibility.
- The client needed a path to reduce cost and improve control in a volatile freight market.
Approach
- Benchmarked transportation spend by lane, mode, and market rate to identify savings opportunities.
- Recommended rebid targets, routing and consolidation changes, and tighter execution controls around documentation, audits, and compliance.
Results
- Optimized mode and lane strategy.
- Improved visibility, compliance, and service.
- 17-22% annual freight savings.
