Our customers have seen the proven results of our services, which is why we have such high client satisfaction and retention rates. This is true even when there are dips and deep valleys in the market.

There are a number of strategies we use to to optimize warehousing services for our Northeast Ohio clients. These include:

• Pinpointing areas where technology may help streamline processes. Most experienced supply chain experts will tell you that lack of visibility typically arises as a result of manually-driven processes. You want transparency in your warehousing operations because otherwise it’s uncoordinated – and you’re  operating blind. With the right technology in place, you’ll have more accessible data that will assist with strategic planning.
• Maintaining strong supplier relationships. Our Cleveland 3PL warehousing team helps with this cohesion by facilitating the receipt, packing, storage and distribution of each item – on time, intact, every time.
• Reducing warehousing and transportation costs. The cost of acquisition for most products and services is likely only about 25 to 40 percent of your total cost of ownership/consumption. The rest of your costs are likely some combination of operating, warehousing and transportation. As a team that manages not only warehousing but transportation and distribution, we can help you manage fluctuating demands on while still maintaining excellent delivery ratings.
• Reducing inventory costs. In dynamic markets, it is essential to routinely analyze the quantity of your inventory. As inventory management experts, we know that there can be significant cost associated with holding and storing inventory for extended periods. According to Supply Chain Quarterly, you could be spending up to 60 percent the cost of an item if it is held in inventory for a year. We help our clients  optimize their inventory supply chain by assisting with forecasting and demand planning.
• Reviewing procedures routinely. A dedicated 3PL will be regularly inspecting your overall supply chain efficiency to ensure compliance with existing policies and procedures as well as reductions of bottlenecks and and identifying areas prime for improvement.
• Helping with socially responsible and “green” initiatives. As we mentioned in a recent On Time Delivery & Warehouse blog, what is good for the environment is also good for the overall sustainability of the supply chain. Not only that, but being socially and environmentally responsible is an increasing priority with buyers. These values are built into our everyday operations, from reducing idle truck times to prioritizing smarter packing, energy usage and recycling. These in turn can be used as selling points for YOUR clients.
