Synchrogistics: Fueling the Logistics Chain with ‘Visibility’

Updated: Feb 13, 2019

By implementing a modern logistics infrastructure, Synchrogistics saves their clients more money.

After experiencing a low coverage and high costs for shipments, a shipper saved over half a million dollars in just the first year of their contract with Synchrogistics—a Greensboro-based 3PL service provider. Synchrogistics implemented a modern logistics infrastructure and helped the client achieve a coverage rate of 99 percent, up from its earlier rate of under 75 percent. The resulting benefit was an increase in customer shipments due to the ability to promise and deliver on-time delivery at competitive prices.

“Most CIOs and top management executives I’ve met had sour experiences after trying some variant of freight management, as the level of support could not live up to the promised efficiency,” says Bill Jackson, Founder and President of Synchrogistics.

Powering middle market manufacturing, retail, and distribution companies, Synchrogistics is on a mission to rapidly integrate different modes of transportation into a cohesive data-driven picture and reduce freight costs…

Synchrogistics Announces WBENC Certification

November 2, 2018 0Articles

Expanded business opportunities and a broader network with the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).

Synchrogistics is pleased to announce we have been awarded national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). WBENC is the largest certifier of women-owned businesses in the U.S. and a leading advocate for women business owners and entrepreneurs. WBENC Certification validates that the business is 51 percent owned, controlled, operated, and managed by a woman or women.

Erica Jackson has worked at Synchrogistics since its founding in 2010 advising on operational, legal and compliance matters. She took on the leadership roll in 2017 as President and has led the company through a period of rapid growth and continual development initiatives.

“We are honored to receive this certification. While our consultative approach to solving customer logistics challenges has allowed us to grow at over 50% per year, it is the customer service DNA of our incredible staff that keeps those loyal customers coming back year after year,” said Mrs. Jackson.

With our national certification, we now have access to a broad network of other women entrepreneurs as well as expanded business opportunities. Our certification status does not change our commitment to provide unique, hands-on logistics solutions to our clients but does assist our customers with fulfilling their vendor diversity goals.

Have you done a deep dive on LTL blanket rates?

Have you done a deep dive on LTL blanket rates?

 

Everyone has had this experience – you buy something, think you got just what you wanted and it’s a great deal! Then you find out that there are fees and unexpected / undisclosed costs you didn’t count on. Improperly used, broker-supplied Less than Truckload (LTL) blanket rates can be exactly that.  Small and middle market manufacturing and distribution companies often fall victim to poorly understood transportation products that end up costing them significantly more than the right product. 

How can you avoid falling for this? What is really happening here?

It’s likely a day doesn’t go by that your shipping team isn’t called by sales reps from brokerage firms telling you that they have the best LTL blanket rates. The broker has “consolidated millions in freight spend to bring YOU great rates!” They offer the best service, amazing technology and a big company name. Even better, when you give them shipments to compare their rates to yours, their rates look better than what you’re currently paying

 

Amazing! Simply by answering your phone, you have found a magic solution that lets you skip all that blocking and tackling that industry pros recommend you do to build a stable, low-cost and high-quality LTL freight purchasing program. 

Sounds great doesn’t it? Too good to be true? It probably is. Soon after biting on those low blanket rates, the invoice comes in and you see the real cost of moving that shipment. Unanticipated assessorial charges, reclassification or other fees eat into that great “introductory offer.” What’s worse, if you don’t have a system for auditing the invoice against that initial blanket rate quote, you may not even realize the pricing you are being asked to pay is different from what you were initially quoted

Read our white paper if your company has LTL shipments and you’re interested in seeing if you are one of the lucky few for whom broker-provided blanket rates are the right solution

What you will learn:

– If you have LTL freight spend of $100k or more and are using blanket rates, you are likely paying too much for too little value.

– Negotiating LTL pricing requires heavy analytical support and experience, and most of the time can be paid for out of the savings generated by switching from blanket rates to customer specific pricing.
