Financial Benefits of Tapping into a Shipper Network

Savings Through a Shipper Network: How TLI Transforms Transportation Spend

The Power of Collective Bargaining

At Translogistics Inc. (TLI), we understand the importance of cost efficiency and operational excellence. By pooling the transportation spends of various shippers, we leverage collective buying power to negotiate aggressive discounts with carriers. This approach ensures that even smaller shippers can access savings typically reserved for larger companies with substantial transportation budgets.

How Shipping Networks Enhance Freight Savings

Pooling transportation spends allows TLI to negotiate from a position of strength. When shippers join forces with TLI, the combined volume of freight attracts more favorable rates from carriers. Carriers, in turn, are more willing to offer significant discounts to secure large, consistent volumes of business. This collective bargaining power is a cornerstone of our RFP strategy at TLI, enabling us to deliver savings to our members.

How TLI Enhances Your Savings

1. Volume-Based Discounts: By combining the transportation needs of multiple shippers, we present carriers with substantial volumes, leading to significant discounts. These savings are then passed on to our network members, reducing their overall transportation costs.
2. Optimized Routes and Schedules: Our expert logistics team analyzes shipping patterns and optimizes routes and consolidate shipments to minimize transit times and costs. This efficiency not only saves money but also enhances service reliability.
3. Custom Transportation Management System (TMS): TLI provides a state-of-the-art TMS that offers real-time tracking, dynamic reporting, and seamless integration with your existing systems. This shipping technology ensures you have full visibility and control over your shipments, further enhancing efficiency and cost savings.

Additionally, we manage claims processes, reducing administrative burdens and ensuring you receive the compensation you're entitled to in case of any issues.
5. Contract Management: TLI handles contract negotiations and management with carriers, ensuring you get the best rates and terms.
