DM began operations in 1995 to provide vendor inbound,
and supply-chain management services to the Direct Marketing Industry.
As a service provider to the Direct Marketing Industry, we have
two key advantages that set us apart from traditional logistics
or Transportation Management services;
1) Our knowledge and reputation within the DM industry; 2) Our
use of targeted computer technology. We are the only Transportation
Management Company to pioneer Intransit Tracking and a proprietary
rate base for all domestic activity in one application and web
site.
Direct Marketing companies will spend
an average of 2% to 4% of gross sales on vendor inbound freight,
ranking it among the top eight operational expenses. While often
overlooked, inbound freight management impacts gross margin, purchasing
staff productivity, inventory control, receipt processing, and
fulfillment operations.
Our Cost Savings Program was created
by experienced Direct Marketing Operations Managers to leverage
the volume generated by our consortium of participating companies
and pass on the benefits of lower
freight costs. You benefit from our experience and receive
the economies of scale not normally available to individual companies.
Cost savings average 24% for participating companies.
Today DM Transportation is the largest
inbound freight management company
in the U.S. focused on supply side logistics for the direct marketing
industry. Established in 1995 by former direct marketing executives,
DM Transportation's growth has averaged over 25% annually for
the last five years and represents over 500 client companies. |
