We help you achieve continuous improvement in these activities as we collaborate with other internal teams and your warehousing operations to develop cost-saving strategies and efficiencies. As a result, you receive consolidation and network analysis with centralized reporting and increased visibility.

Our transportation management services can integrate with any warehouse, whether it is operated by our team, another third-party logistics (3PL) provider, or your own organization. We are the best transportation complement to your warehouse.

Inbound, outbound, and cross-dock

GEODIS has the ability to leverage relationships with over 400 domestic and regional carriers to perform carrier selection that takes advantage of tier-one technology tools. This offers you competitive advantage through increased buying power. Oversight of your inbound, outbound and cross-docking processes will also help to reduce material handling and manage vendor compliance to directly impact cost savings and speed, while lowering the risk of damaged inventory and fines. It also provides a single source for visibility and shipment control.

Our Operational Excellence team conducts this transportation management system, and can analyze your data to identify specific areas for additional cost savings and performance enhancements. Some of the initiatives used to achieve this include freight consolidation consolidation, multi-stop truckload, pool distribution and network modeling.
