Transportation procurement is a key tool in leveraging a competitive advantage from your supply chain. Alpega’s strategic sourcing and procurement solutions maximize your buying power and reduce time spent finding the best carrier – and time spent in Excel.
Go beyond the immediate ROI of improving tactical spot bidding. Our solutions support the complete contracting process with RFQ, repetitive bidding and multiple scenario analysis. For larger projects and strategic freight procurement, run exercises such as simple lane development all the way to complete transportation network events.
When it comes to freight tendering, there are plenty of horror stories about trawling through spreadsheets and manually inputting data. Eliminate all that manual time spent in Excel spreadsheets. Instead, use the time saved to work with your chosen carrier(s) on mutually beneficial opportunities. With Alpega, in just a few clicks you can:
Setup your tender across land, air or sea
Benchmark current market rates via easy integration with market data providers
Quickly identify the best partner for your business
Alpega solutions support the ability to ask select carriers to bid for ad-hoc transportation with little notice – or ask all your vetted carriers, essentially creating your own private bid board. Or, request carriers for a set price for getting goods from A to B, while complying with internal agreements and giving you 100% visibility.
Conduct a complete audit and reconciliation of your freight invoices, and compare the planned and actual cost of an invoice (and get notifications) when something doesn’t add up. This typically leads to an immediate 2% – 5% cost saving on total freight turnover.
“In the past, we used to send spreadsheets around which then had to be collected manually. It was error prone, and now with the help of Alpega this whole process is streamlined.” – Peter Stockhammer, Sr Manager, Logistics Service Provider Strategy & Management, PUMA
