A Higher Standard in International Shipping
International shipping can be risky for your business. Brokerage and customs, documentation, language barriers and geographical locations all present an opportunity to overspend and under-serve your customers. If you're like most companies, you don't have the resources to constantly supervise and undertake procurement analysis of shipping trends to make sure you're shipping at the highest level of efficiency.
That's why companies turn to NPI's transportation spend management services. From helping you select the most effective mix of shipping methods to ensuring you're paying fair market value for high quality service, NPI carrier cost management experts help you reduce international freight spend while improving service benchmarks. Our services include:
- Contract Benchmarking & Negotiation: Whether you are moving goods via ocean, air or even courier, NPI's international freight and logistics specialists ensure that companies receive the best possible value for quality shipping services. Because international shipping methods can be overly cumbersome, NPI navigates through carrier fuel surcharges and other fine print, while mitigating the complexities of language barriers, currency conversions, and brokerage and customs obstacles. Our transportation contract management best practices deliver immediate and strategic cost reductions in your international freight spend.
- Network Optimization: Many companies fail to use the most efficient mix of shipping methods for international freight. A company may use a courier to deliver packages that a small parcel provider could deliver, while another may utilize air freight shipments instead of carefully planned and less expensive ocean freight movements. Through supply chain audit and cost control, NPI's international freight and logistics experts help you assemble the right mix of international shipping methods to deliver tremendous cost savings and improve shipping accuracy.
