Wondering how to cut your logistics costs? While looking at your excel with big numbers you may not see hidden costs that may occur in transport process of your products.
Let’s have a look and see how we can optimize your cost spreadsheet.
1. Poor Visibility and Lack of Transparency
The Problem: In today’s competitive market, “out of sight” can quickly become “out of mind.” Poor visibility into shipment locations and statuses can lead to miscommunication, lost shipments, and an inevitable erosion of trust with clients.
The Solution: Transparency is key factor with Quote&GO. Real-time tracking and dedicated 24/7 freight monitoring services mean you always know where your shipments are, keeping your clients in the loop and ensuring peace of mind for everyone involved.
Every shipment is monitored by a dedicated department, who is working on shifts and 24/7/365 to ensure its on-time delivery. They are in constant and direct contact with drivers to react quickly in case of any unpredictable situations – e.g., organizing a reloading in case of trucks failure. You receive an access to our internal SPACE platform with real-time shipment status.
2. Manual Paperwork & Administrative Tasks
The Problem: The logistics world is drowning in paperwork. From shipment orders to delivery receipts, manual data entry not only consumes valuable time but is also prone to errors, leading to costly rectifications down the line.
The Solution: The Quote&GO platform streamlines administrative tasks, allowing for quick digital entries, minimizing human errors, and ensuring that your operations run smoothly. While ordering transport in a classic, traditional way, you have to create a transport order or sometimes, even sign a contract. With Quote&GO a whole booking process is locked in 3 minutes, without any papers.
We believe in the future of transport with minimalized bureaucracy, that’s why when you book a truck, we generate booking confirmation automatically, and after that, we only call you to confirm it.
3. Inefficient Route and Truck-Space Planning
The Problem: An indirect route isn’t just about the extra miles. It’s about increased fuel consumption, greater vehicle war-and-tear, and extended delivery times. Inefficient routing can often lead to unforeseen delays, which not only cost money but can also damage the company’s reputation.
The Solution: With advanced algorithms and real-time tracking, Quote&GO offers optimized routing solutions. This ensures that shipments take the shortest and most efficient paths, reducing transport costs and ensuring timely deliveries. When time is money, a few saved minutes on the road can make all the difference, especially in ensuring proper customer experience.
What is more, thanks efficiently planned truck-space we can offer you substantial benefits – even 40% lower rates compared to Direct Delivery thanks to combining your load with others, which are heading to similar direction.
4. Lack of insurance or insufficient insurance of load
The Problem: The road can be unpredictable. Accidents, thefts, or natural disasters can lead to significant financial losses if your shipments are uninsured or underinsured.
The Solution: Safety first, always. Quote&GO ensures that your financial interests are protected with a comprehensive €300,000 insurance coverage. This means that even if the unexpected occurs, your bottom line won’t be severely impacted.
Moreover, we can always provide with an option to extended coverage, while you are transporting luxury or high-value items.
5. Express, ad-hoc, emergency shipments
The Problem: Sometimes, urgency can’t be avoided. But last-minute or emergency shipments often come at a premium, impacting operational budgets and leading to increased costs. In both production and transport there are urgent situations: emergency call for machine component or car accident on the road.
The Solution: When unexpected situations happen, organizing transport fast and efficienntly can actually help you save money.
The key is a quick reaction, so ordering transport must be instant and easy. In Q&G soon you will have an opportunity to order transport even for the same day. Currently, you can book a truck with loading on next-day morning up to 15:00.
