Distribution Solutions, Inc. is currently offering a no cost, no obligation confidential survey and analysis of your present distribution program.* This analysis allows DSI to quantify any existing margin in present expenditures for commercial freight services.
If significant margin in present expenditures is evidenced, a proposal to capture the projected savings is then presented. The proposal addresses the development, implementation and administration of a managed distribution program as the means to capture projected savings. DSI substantiates savings achieved through a re-rating of the original five hundred transactions used in the analysis. The original five hundred transactions are re-rated using pricing levels achieved through our RFP process, and then are compared to the actual historical expense of those same transactions. In this manner projected savings are reconciled with future savings.
Freight costs are often perceived as minimal or even overlooked as an area of opportunity. This revealing chart provides some insight into the importance of managing commercial freight costs and its impact on profitability.
