Logistics Audit and Transport Tender for a Steel Distributor
The Challenge
Facing growing cost pressure, the company needed a diagnosis of its warehousing, transport, and procurement areas. Transport was running at a monthly loss, and there were no KPIs, no systematic delivery notification, and no structured process for procuring transport services.
What We Do
A comprehensive logistics audit, including a site visit and analysis of depot data.
Comparative analysis of depot performance and delivery structure.
A transport tender with requests for quotation sent to 65 carriers.
Preparation of a proposal for implementing a transport management system and a warehouse KPI set.
Results
Estimated savings from the transport tender of roughly PLN 155,000 per year.
Freight rates reduced by roughly 6 percent and flat rates by roughly 8 percent.
An RFQ sent to 65 carriers as part of a structured procurement process.
Summary
A multi-stage engagement delivered a map of key challenges together with benchmarks and measurable cost results. The transport tender produced quantifiable savings, and the audit set the direction for digitalization and professionalizing transport procurement.
