Why Settle for the Standard?

In the dynamic world of logistics, settling for the standard just doesn't cut it anymore. Many businesses continue to use traditional 3PL services, doing what they've always done—getting the pre-requisite services like rate savings, TMS, reporting, freight payment, and audit. But in today's competitive environment, is that enough? Are you leveraging your 3PL provider to the fullest, or are you stuck because "it's not hurting enough" like the proverbial dog on a nail?

At KDL, we understand that navigating through challenges like inflation and rising logistics costs requires more than just cutting expenses. It demands a strategic overhaul. We don't just focus on freight savings; we revolutionize your entire freight management approach through systemization, advanced freight strategy, and meticulous risk mitigation. These aren't just enhancements; they are transformative changes that drive profitability far beyond simple cost reductions.

Case in Point: Consider a recent shipper KDL evaluated. They had a $4 million annual spend on freight. Their traditional 3PLs offered savings of 10%, or $440,000. Running their data through Applied Intelligence KDL was able to optimize freight policies, adjust carrier selections, and recommend warehouse fulfillment alignment. These measures could unlock an additional $987,000 in savings—adding up to $1.4 million straight to their bottom line.

This approach has become essential as businesses strive to maintain margins in a landscape where driving out expenses is increasingly difficult. Systemization, freight strategy optimization, and risk management have emerged as fundamental for achieving cost optimization. Through our Applied Intelligence initiative, we've conducted multifaceted reviews that have revealed these strategies are not just beneficial but indispensible for thriving in today's dynamic business environment.

Are your current logistics services keeping up with the times, or are they holding you back? It's time to expect more from your 3PL. At KDL, we're not just involved in the movement of your goods; we're committed to moving your company forward.
