Vendor Inbound Management Services
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.
