$4M+ saved on international air and ocean for a security equipment manufacturer

A multi-billion-dollar publicly traded company that manufactures and distributes security scanners of all sizes. Ones that can accommodate truck trailers, packages, people, and ones that are not stationary. The supply chain is vertically integrated and spans the world across multiple complementary business units. They pay both inbound and outbound freight and are multi-national.

Industrial manufacturing, shipping specialized equipment on non-traditional lanes. Components are sourced from southeast Asia, Europe and the United States via all modes and methods of transportation, and most countries are serviced as consignees.

We traveled to many countries to conduct interviews, do data discovery, and walk the warehouses to fully understand the depth of what was required.

With the specialized equipment demanded for transporting these goods, an extensive effort was undertaken to identify qualified carriers and forwarders, spending hours vetting capabilities and true expertise in this specific industry.

Rather we pinpointed niche and regional solutions that know the geographies, customs, and nuances of pickup and delivery.

We implemented best-in-class track and trace solutions to provide greater governance over the transfer of goods between countries and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance in the United States.
