Compass Logistic approach is a simple team which is focused on achieving a single goal of ensuring your goods arrive where you need them to be on time. This company offer practical solutions for day-to-day forwarding requirements, or simply searching for a common sense approach in refocusing supply chain. This week we have talked with its manager Claudia. Let's share what's in her mind.
'In recent years there are many technological advances and search engine optimization. Changes have been incurred and will continue to happen in hiring rates and the relationship between shippers and logistics operators. As resources such as computing and communications becoming more efficient and inexpensive, alternative forms of contracting freight is available.' said Claudia.
BOOKING A SHIPPING SPACE
The hiring must be very clear what type of service that the shipper expects to receive. The flow of information and its availability are critical factors for success. The logistics operator and carrier is an interesting process for the owner of the cargo, but are still under discussion. "Currently, most companies (shippers) still prefer to hire separately, emphasizing the recruitment of the operating system. The hiring of a logistics operator and carrier suggests a global outsourcing of logistics or logistics operator consolidated. Shippers prefer to outsource part and do not accept the idea of management to a company specialized in logistics and transportation. This is because it is more flexibility and tolerance on the part of carriers, which have more customers and greater flexibility in solving problems. ¡°The carrier is an imbalance power in favor of the shipper, they are unlikely to deal with major operators consolidated, "says, and criticizing the operator who sees logistics as a middleman.¡± They forget that choosing a consolidated operator can focus on core business, reduction in costs, less investment in assets, accessing to technology, greater visibility of the supply chain, accessing to operational best practices of the market. The shipper, in a setting like this, is to gain a level more in the management model, integrating in one contract the services of logistics operator and carrier.
THE THIRD PARTY OF LOGISTICS
Some portals have emerged to promote and expedite the hiring of freight. Some of these sites have preserved the idea of searching for prices on the web, especially when transport services are simple and when to expand the basis for comparison of prices is a good mechanism to spark them. The mistakes made by the framers of the portals have not been fully digested. Pending the creation of a new model allows the resurgence because it is more flexibility and tolerance on the part of carriers, which have more customer focus and greater agility in solving problems.
