Transportation is a crucial aspect of any business that deals with the movement of goods and services. It is an essential part of the supply chain process, and it can be a significant cost driver for businesses. Transportation Cost Management, LLC (TCM) is a company that specializes in helping businesses optimize their transportation costs.
TCM was founded in 2005 by transportation industry veterans who recognized the need for a more efficient and cost-effective way to manage transportation expenses. The company has since grown to become one of the leading providers of transportation cost management solutions in North America.
At TCM, we understand that every business has unique transportation needs. That's why we offer customized solutions tailored to meet each client's specific requirements. Our team of experts works closely with clients to identify areas where they can reduce costs while maintaining or improving service levels.
Our services include freight audit and payment, carrier contract negotiation, mode optimization, shipment visibility and tracking, analytics and reporting, and consulting services. We leverage our extensive network of carriers to negotiate favorable rates on behalf of our clients while ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements.
One key area where TCM excels is freight audit and payment. We use advanced technology to automate the auditing process, which helps us identify billing errors quickly. This ensures that our clients only pay for what they actually received while avoiding overpayments due to incorrect billing.
Another area where TCM adds value is carrier contract negotiation. Our team has years of experience negotiating contracts with carriers across various modes such as truckload (TL), less-than-truckload (LTL), intermodal rail (IM), ocean freight (OF), air cargo (AC), parcel shipping (PS) among others). We help our clients secure favorable rates based on their shipping volumes while ensuring that all contractual terms are fair and reasonable.
Mode optimization is another critical service offered by TCM. By analyzing our clients' shipping patterns, we can identify opportunities to shift from one mode to another, such as moving from TL to LTL or IM. This helps our clients reduce transportation costs while maintaining service levels.
Shipment visibility and tracking is also a critical service offered by TCM. We use advanced technology to provide real-time visibility into the status of shipments, which helps our clients make informed decisions about their supply chain operations.
Analytics and reporting are essential components of TCM's services. We provide detailed reports that help our clients understand their transportation costs and identify areas for improvement. Our reports include key performance indicators (KPIs) such as cost per mile, on-time delivery percentage, carrier performance metrics among others.
Finally, TCM offers consulting services aimed at helping businesses optimize their transportation operations further. Our team of experts works closely with clients to develop customized solutions that address specific challenges they may be facing in their supply chain operations.
