Inbound Freight Management

All too often shippers do not make inbound freight a supply chain priority. Managing and controlling inbound freight effectively is a difficult process. It can sometimes pit various departments within an organization against each other. In addition, changing inbound freight flow affects agreements for the shipper, receiver or both. These are the challenges CFM overcomes every day. Transportation accounts for almost 50% of an average company’s logistics costs. Shippers can gain more control of these costs when they choose to make inbound freight management a supply chain priority. Choosing to manage inbound freight gives shippers a chance to improve reliability, gain visibility and reduce costs.
