Tired of juggling the complexities of freight management? Struggling with inconsistent capacity, rising costs, and manual processes? While we often talk in generalities about services that could solve problems, this time we're putting InTek Logistics Managed Transportation Services directly into the spotlight. Find out how going managed with us simplifies your operations, reduces your freight spend, and provides the visibility and control you need to optimize your supply chain.
Why Consider Managed Transportation Services?
Many shippers face challenges in managing their transportation needs efficiently. Whether it's handling five or 50 truckloads a day - or dealing with staffing shortages and outdated technology - these pain points can slow down your business and lead to costly inefficiencies.
The Most Common Challenges Our Managed Transportation Services Can Solve:
- Freight Capacity Struggles: Difficulty finding consistent and reliable carriers.
- Rising Freight Costs: Increasing freight expenses with little control over the budget.
- Manual Shipping Processes: Reliance on spreadsheets - or even worse, paper-based processes - instead of the latest Transportation Management System (TMS) technology.
- Lack of Shipment Visibility: Constant calls to carriers for only limited shipment status updates.
- Inefficient Problem-Solving: Reactive measures to recover loads or resolve service failures - only after problems occur.
- Invoice Management Challenges: Time-consuming, error-prone auditing, and payment processes.
- Carrier Communication Overload: Frequent emails and calls regarding payment status.
- Limited Freight Insights: Little to no data on total freight costs or performance metrics against budget or current competitive rates for your company’s individual freight lanes.
