Logistics Experts to Assist in Cost Reduction Initiatives

The creation of CT’s Professional Services Group was prompted by the needs of our clients and their business requirements to continually recognize additional value and innovation from their existing vendor partners.

To that end CT has created this Professional Services Group to address many of these needs and to provide clients with a suite of services that they can easily identify with and leverage to recognize additional value from our relationship.

CT Logistics has provided consulting services focused on applying our cost savings approach to client challenges since our founding in 1923.

Some items which Professional Services can facilitate or customize for your specific needs:

  • Extensive data modeling and analytical capabilities - determine optimal spend and contract optimization strategies prior to a bid process
  • Warehouse Relocation - model the impact of volume shifts from one warehouse or distribution center to another utilizing exact shipping costs and data
  • Shipment Consolidation Services - CT applies in-house developed problem solving models and algorithms to client order data to develop an optimized shipment execution plan by aggregating small orders into multi-stop truckloads to drastically reduce shipping costs and promote process efficiencies
