12.64% Overall Reduction in Small Parcel Annual Cost
"The Motus team delivered excellent value in terms of cost savings, excellent reporting and in ongoing review of our account for additional cost saving ideas."
John E. Sircy, President, Henry A. Petter Supply Co.
The Challenge
For many years, Henry A. Petter Supply had outsourced transportation through a consulting firm. Although the consulting outsource had focused extensively – and very successfully – on the freight side, the team at Henry A. Petter Supply wanted to confirm that the parcel situation was optimized as well. They sought ISS services to examine whether or not the parcel carrier pricing and processes were as competitive as they could be. ISS performed an analysis at no cost and quickly assessed the potential for cost savings and optimization.
Our Solution
Motus Logistics initiated negotiations with the appropriate industry carriers, and within weeks, was able to provide Henry A. Petter Supply with a 12.64% overall reduction in small parcel annual cost. Motus Logistics also realized huge savings with their incumbent small parcel carrier by addressing high-impact service level incentives and accessorial surcharges.
This agreement provided a turnkey solution that saved time and resources, allowing Henry A. Petter Supply to simply sign the newly negotiated agreement for immediate savings – with no change to their operations. Today, with the help of Motus Logistics, Henry A. Petter Supply continues to offer the same outstanding service for their customers – but is able to do so more profitably.
