Shipment Management

The Shipment Management team proactively manages your goods-in-transit, across all providers, allowing you to gain maximum control of end-to-end shipments.

 

We remove the burden of managing multiple transport service companies. By using an internet based portal application, we keep you fully informed as to the status of your shipments backed up with comprehensive management reports and a single, consolidated invoice. This approach yields measurable operational improvements supported by highly accurate information.

 

No matter how many transportation service providers you require, CPLS manages them all.

 

Anywhere in transit, from order to proof-of-delivery, we can identify when shipments are "off spec" and take steps to intervene ensuring you deliver.

 

Our service

 

1.    Keep track of your shipments. Companies lose millions of dollars a day by not being able to locate shipments. Say goodbye to all that. With us you can easily locate products, notify customers and reroute critical shipments if needed.

2.    Reduce late shipment penalties. Don't get dinged with penalties! By monitoring your shipment's status, you avoid the excess cost of the last-minute shipping fee and the cost of holding excess inventory caused by the quick "emergency" purchase.

3.    Manage inventory and reduce safety stock. Inventory is expensive, but you have to have it. Don't store it! Keep it moving! Through "pooling", you can manage your inventory in-transit reducing the costs of warehousing, stockpiling and holding excess safety stock.

4.   Improve customer service. Say goodbye to uncertain arrival times and the stressed-out customer relationships that result. CPLS will develop and manage contingencies for "off-spec" shipments.
