Business Case
Sample
Problem
- A large pork exporter was paying too much Full Truck Load (FTL) shipments
- Management mandated a decrease in suppliers and expenses

- Their goals were to finish the project within 60 days, decrease the provider base by 40% and reduce FTL freight costs
Solutions

- Managed the entire tender process, except for provider selection and final negotiations
- Built a custom tender template to ensure that providers’ bids were submitted in a single format/controlled bid form
- Ensured that only vetted transportation providers were considered in final negotiations
Results
