Compare transport costs
Comparing transport costs is an essential part of a transport procurement process. For sea freight, the complexity lies mainly in the periodic (often monthly) changes to sea freight rates and for road and parcel transport, the complexity lies mainly in the large challenging rate tables with different zones and surcharges. For road transport in particular, transport cost comparison is not possible without the use of smart software. Due to the lack of proper and smart software, it is often impossible for companies to properly compare transport costs
to compare. As a result, procurement processes or supply chain analyses are sub-optimal resulting in excessive transport costs.
Transport Rates and Templates
Quotes with transport rates are often not transparent. Especially for road transport, they are often huge tables, to all sorts of countries in Europe, in various shapes and sizes. Transport buyers often end up creating templates to still get some grip on the quotes received. Even most transport online tender applications use templates to compare transport costs. In this blog, we explain why it is better not to prescribe templates to logistics service providers during a benchmark or tender.
