Auditing your current third party contracts |
|
|
|
Once you have contracted out any or all of your logistics operations to a Third Party Logistics provider you cannot just sit back and relax thinking you need not worry about the operations anymore. It is very important to make sure that your chosen logistics supplier is meeting the terms of the contract. |
|
|
|
Have you got time to monitor their performance? Are they meeting your delivery schedules? Reduced service levels will adversely affect your business including the potential loss of major clients. |
|
|
|
Don't let this happen we can help audit your logistics provider. We will review the contract working with you and your 3PL, and provide a report outlining the options available to develop the service necessary to meet the current and changing needs of your business and supply chain. |
