The Challenges of Logistics Outsourcing
For many Small to Medium Enterprises Logistics Outsourcing is often a very difficult relationship to establish and manage, or even contemplate!
A lack of understanding of how to go about the Outsourcing process can lead to unexpected costs and customer service impacts.
To remedy a Logistics Outsourcing relationship that isn’t working as it should be there are three main options:.
- Try to fix the existing Logistics Outsourcing contract/relationship
- Change to a different Outsourcing partner
- Bring the functions back in-house
Thankfully we have been dealing with Logistics Outsourcing contracts since 1990 and have helped hundreds of businesses through these challenges.
Just like marriage guidance counsellors, we always start with the objective of fixing the existing relationship!
