Evaluate and articulate the current logistics network across the entire business. 2. Identify cost savings and efficiency upliftment opportunities. 3. Determine best practise, and initiatives that can be implemented to future proof the supply chain for sustainable and scalable growth. ![TMS and TMSplus Image](https://connect.transnova.co.za/hubfs/TMS%20and%20TMSplus%20Image.svg) ## The importance of getting your logistics strategy right upfront In the past, most companies' logistics strategies primarily concentrated on choosing transport or 3PL service providers, securing the best rates, and ensuring sufficient capacity to meet demand. Today, companies are becoming increasingly sophisticated in developing a logistics strategy that is aligned with the overall business strategy and goals. Top-level executives are recognizing that significant bottom-line savings can be achieved with the right logistics strategy and a dedicated focus on enhancing logistics processes within the organization. ## Key Focus Areas of a Logistics Strategy Review ##### / 01 #### Network analysis including manufacturing and warehouse locations ##### / 02 #### Transport modelling ##### / 03 #### Benchmarking of transport rates ##### / 04 #### Inbound and outbound logistics opportunities ##### / 05 #### Backhaul synergy review ##### / 06 #### Fleet configuration & equipment type evaluation ##### / 07 #### Merit of owned vs. dedicated fleet ##### / 08 #### Transporter contracting methodology and term sheets ##### / 09 #### Review current Planning & Execution Management processes ##### / 10 #### Review current Exports process (including Clearing and Compliance) ![Transnova Logo](https://connect.transnova.co.za/hubfs/Transnova%20Logo.svg)   ![LinkedIn Social Icon](https://connect.transnova.co.za/hubfs/LinkedIn%20Social%20Icon.svg) ![YouTube Social Icon](https://connect.transnova.co.za/hubfs/YouTube%20Social%20Icon.svg)   #### Solutions - [Transport Management](https://connect.transnova.co.za/solutions/transport-management-systems-software) - [Supply Chain Optimisation](https://connect.transnova.co.za/solutions/supply-chain-optimisation) - [Inventory Optimisation](https://connect.transnova.co.za/solutions/inventory-optimisation-solutions) #### Platforms - [E2open](https://connect.transnova.co.za/platform/e2open-tsm) - [River Logic](https://connect.transnova.co.za/platform/river-logic-tsm) - [Netstock](https://connect.transnova.co.za/platform/netstock-tsm) #### Company - [About Transnova](https://connect.transnova.co.za/company/who-we-are) - [Leadership](https://connect.transnova.co.za/company/leadership) - [Careers](https://connect.transnova.co.za/company/careers) - [Contact Us](https://connect.transnova.co.za/contact/south-africa) #### Insights - [Company News](https://connect.transnova.co.za/company-news) - [Industry News](https://connect.transnova.co.za/en/industry-news) - [White Papers](https://connect.transnova.co.za/resources/white-papers) - [Case Studies](https://connect.transnova.co.za/case-study) - [Videos](https://connect.transnova.co.za/resources/videos) Blow the whistle on fraud and corruption.
