Struggling with service efficiency? Forge stronger ties with your transportation vendors using these strategies:
- Regularly review performance metrics together to identify improvement areas and build trust.
- Co-create service level agreements (SLAs) that align with your business goals and incentivize excellence.
- Implement joint training sessions to ensure both teams are on the same page regarding processes and expectations.
What strategies have you found effective in enhancing vendor partnerships?
-
The last trucking company I worked for had a partnership agreement that was established with a hand shake in 1947. The value of this agreement grew to over $100,000,000 in revenue. Most fleets these days want a quick buck off a load board, or from a load broker. Their relationship is with a computer. If you want a legitimate valuable partnership, you have to do more than sit in front of a screen. Establish a marketing plan and prioritize your efforts. Get out and start building relationships.
-
Establish regular meetings to discuss performance metrics, feedback, and areas for improvement. Create an environment where both parties can openly share concerns and expectations.

Según mi experiencia una forma efectiva de mejorar las asociaciones con los proveedores de transporte es establecer una comunicación abierta y constante, basada en métricas claras de desempe?o. Al definir expectativas conjuntas y fomentar la colaboración, se pueden identificar áreas de mejora y optimizar los tiempos de respuesta. Además, implementar sistemas de monitoreo en tiempo real permitirá resolver incidencias más rápido, mejorando tanto la eficiencia como la relación a largo plazo.
