Distribution Analysis
Control the impact of fluctuating transport costs on business profitability
Frequent and sizeable fluctuations in the costs of energy play havoc with manufacturers’ margins. Just a modest increase in petroleum drives up transportation costs for inventory movements between facilities and outbound product distribution. Using QlikView, Natural Synergies’ consultants help companies to track the fluctuating costs, analyze performance by carrier, negotiate pricing as well as analyze distribution networks, locations and possible changes. Example solutions include:
- Transportation cost analysis
- transportation costs trending over time
- tracking cost per pound
- analyzing geography of Supply and Demand
- identifying volume per transit channel to negotiate best rates from carriers on loaded channels
- Distribution network analysis and predictive modeling to estimate potential cost savings with network changes
