Situation
When we begin working with a customer, we often see packaging-related inefficiencies throughout their operations.



Solution
Through its extensive logistics and packaging experience, Transfreight is able to identify—through both observation and analysis—ways to help customers reduce their packaging-related costs.

Results
Depending on the customer's specific situation, we often identify ways to achieve:

• Piece price reduction: Suppliers included packaging in part price and removed packaging cost when customer provided returnable
• Logistics savings ROI: If packaging could be paid back in 1st year on logistics cost avoidance, e.g., more parts per truck means lower logistics cost per part
• Safety: Right thing to do ... avoids repacking and pack could go right to point of use
• Elimination of cardboard: One-time returnable purchase lower than ongoing cardboard cost
• Material handling and production: Improved process efficiency, decreased handling
