Outbound Logistics
Using Foresight Technology solutions, your company is guaranteed to decrease freight costs.
Once inventory has been sold, it needs to be shipped.
The deployment planning capabilities of Foresight Technologies tell you what you need to know to get the product moved from where it is produced to where it is sold. If you supply Foresight with freight payment information as an input, it will help you calculate the rate and mix data for where you are spending your freight dollars.
Using Foresight Technology solutions, your company is guaranteed to decrease freight costs.
The supply chain tools we offer to increase your outbound logistics efficiency include:
Deployment Planning
There are two sides to the replenishment process – production/purchasing and deployment. Most companies store and ship products from multiple locations. Deployment planning provides planners with the tools necessary to effectively move products from production facilities to shipping facilities.
Foresight offers unique visibility in deployment planning. Foresight lets you answer key questions: Can I wait a day or two before making a either shipment? What locations are selling closer to forecast and will need their shipment soonest? Can I supply locations from an alternate source? Do I have inventory at a different warehouse that is not selling as much as expected?
Foresight can answer these questions immediately and help you make the most profitable decisions.
Freight Reporting
For many companies, freight is one of the largest controllable expenses in the order fulfillment process. Foresight offers an interactive reporting and inquiry tool that makes it easy for freight planners to identify issues and opportunities relative to freight expenditures.
Systems that rely solely on historical averages can often miss the mark. With Foresight, you can see immediately what factors affect unexpected variances in shipping cost—rate changes, different mixes of weight or size, and changes in quantities going to different locations—This will help you understand the variables involved and make cost-saving decisions accordingly.
