Distribution is one of the most expensive parts of running an operation. Costs will always vary depending on your product and how far you’re shipping it to, of course, but if you were told that there was a way for you to save money and still distribute your product, would you be interested?

Our team is built up of knowledgeable individuals that are eager to help businesses find the freight option that works best for them and to see it through.
In today’s blog post, we are going to touch on a few of the ways that distributors could potentially save money by choosing freight shipping services as their primary method of distribution.
Freight Audit
Auditing your current method of distribution is one of the best ways that you can discover opportunities for saving money. Given that the distribution process is rarely billed in one flat fee, it’s essential that you dive into all of the bills that are associated with your distribution process and include them in the audit. In doing so, you can not only discover the parts of your distribution process that are costing you the most, but you can begin to find opportunities to make this process more efficient and more affordable.
For this audit to really prove beneficial, you will need to look at all angles and spend some quality time diving into this aspect of your business. In the case that you’re not equipped to handle such an audit, you can reach out to a professional and have them audit your distribution process. They will then be able to provide you with guidance and insight on how you can improve moving forward.
Incorporate Technology
Technology has become one of the best ways to not only make processes more efficient but to also save money. When it comes to distribution, you’ll see that a chunk of the expenses that you’re paying for could be bundled together and shipped at the same time and in not doing so, you’re spending more money. You may also notice that there’s a step in your process that is costing you that, when examined, could honestly be avoided altogether. If this is the case for your business, you should consider adding some form of technology into your distribution
Various programs can ensure you’re saving money by utilizing freight rather than any other type of distribution system. From the ability to organize your shipments to ensure you’re making the most of the cost each time that you need to ship out a product, to the ability to pick up on trends with the customers that you’re working with, technology can play a big part in your success.
