Outbound logistics is the area of shipping where 业务es tend to put the most emphasis. It’s a common formula: choose a carrier, determine pricing and select the needed services. They have complete control over this process and can do an about-face at any time. 然而, 入站物流 is often in the hands of their suppliers who pick their favorite carriers, select the service they want and invoice the shipper for the cost.
实际上，供应商基本上喜欢这种方式. They don’t want to give up control of their freight shipping for the same reasons you want to take it over: speed, 成本和可靠性. 然而, when 业务es no longer manage their own inbound freight, it means they no longer have complete oversight of their supply chain.
But what if there was an efficient way to manage both your inbound and outbound logistics so you could have complete visibility of your 货运业务 不会给你的生意带来额外的负担? 幸运的是，对于托运人来说，有一种方法.

Optimize Your Inbound and 出站物流 With Dedicated Fleet Services
You don’t always need to let your supplier control your 入站物流. Your supply chain shouldn’t be a one-way street since it’s important you know when inbound freight will arrive. 没有清晰的愿景, managing dock congestion and scheduling dock workers for loading and unloading is challenging. It’s also difficult to be certain of how much inventory to keep on hand while waiting for a truck to arrive.

- 成本效益 — 航空公司 are more willing to negotiate lower prices for contracts with consistent freight volume. 当即期汇率下降时, 然而, you may be paying higher prices if your contract was negotiated when rates were higher. 这是每年审查合同的原因之一.
- 产品的完整性 -在你建立关系之后, you can trust your carrier to know how to handle complex shipments and those with special handling requirements. They can also provide the necessary equipment for safe transport.
- 准时交货 — Having a set schedule helps guarantee your shipments will be picked up and delivered on time, which is particularly important for tight delivery windows.
- 库存管理 -当与专用运营商合作时, you will know when inbound shipments will arrive, 哪一种能够更好地控制库存, improved cash flow and other transportation optimization benefits.
