Freight

When getting goods from Point A to Point B on time and intact is your primary concern, attention to pricing takes a back seat. Expense Reduction Analysts (ERA) understand the strengths and weaknesses among all the various carriers globally and can apply best practices learned on thousands of projects completed over the years. While you continue to ensure your goods are delivered, ERA can draw upon its extensive database of global benchmarks and thousands of past projects to help your business find extra profits averaging 18%. Consultants keep abreast of downward pressures from increasing competition to make sure you always get the best price.

“I feel very confident that ERA is with me for 18 months to ensure that we are getting the best value for our dollars – and above all, that our operations continue without a hitch.”

Analysts concluded that several SMT expense categories were indeed competitively priced. The total fee billed for the consultants' analysis and validation of SMT's current business practices was $0.

Better pricing for freight and waste management

However, ERA's evaluation for expenses in LTL Freight and Small Package Freight showed the current agreements could likely be improved. The same held true for Waste Management. Through detailed analysis and benchmarking, ERA reduced SMT's expenses in these categories by more than $150,000 annually.

Shirley was pleased with the result of the ERA process and with consultants' role in implementing the new Small Package Freight supplier's services.

"I feel very confident ERA is with me for 18 months . . . to ensure that we are getting the best value for our dollar ≠ and above all, that our operations continue without a hitch," said Shirley.
