Parcel and LTL shipping programs are often the most challenging to optimize for success. It is often in these areas of your transportation portfolio, however, that you find the greatest opportunity to ease the strain on your shipping budget. Working as an extension of your team, BirdDog takes a universal approach to lowering your parcel and LTL spend. Our Contract Negotiation, Audit and Payment and Reporting services ensure that your shipping program is aligned with your business’ overall needs and long-term goals.
Our Seven Step Logistics Optimization Process allows you to easily maintain control while leveraging our expertise and technology to secure the best pricing and terms while streamlining your logistics operations.
Successful Logistics Optimization requires 3 key services:
Contract Negotiations: By working with BirdDog’s team of Contract Negotiation Specialists, you will have the expertise and the data to negotiate successfully with even the most aggressive carriers. With our team of former Carrier Executives and our advanced, proprietary technology, you will be able to put together contracts that work for your bottom line.
Audit and Payment: Through advanced technology and our team of audit specialists, we process millions of invoices at a detail level each week. Most shippers don’t have the resources to check each and every invoice for accuracy. Duplicate invoices, misapplied accessorials, incorrect rates; these are just a few of the budget sapping errors that BirdDog finds and corrects.
Reporting and Analytics: BirdDog OnDemand — our proprietary Transportation Management Software— supplies 24/7 access to key metric reports and the ability to create your own customizable reports. These reports include in-depth analyses of your shipping activities with easy-to-understand tables and charts. Our information management capabilities help you make informed decisions and realize substantial year-over-year savings.
