Shipment & Vendor Optimization

My immediate priority is shipment planning and cost optimization. I need a consultant who can examine every leg of my domestic and international moves, model the cost drivers in Excel, and propose a leaner routing and carrier-mix strategy that lowers spend without hurting service levels. Vendor relationship management is the next focus. Right now I face: • Communication issues • Inconsistent delivery times • Contract compliance gaps I want a clear plan to strengthen collaboration with courier aggregators, freight forwarders, and key suppliers so that SLAs are met and accountability is transparent. The engagement should cover: 1. End-to-end shipment analysis, rate benchmarking, and “what-if” scenarios to unlock savings. 2. Selection criteria and scorecards for courier and freight partners, followed by an implementation roadmap. 3. A vendor governance framework that tackles the pain points above and embeds regular performance reviews. 4. Inventory and warehouse planning advice that aligns safety stock with the new transportation model. 5. A concise KPI dashboard and reporting routine I can maintain in Excel or another lightweight tool. I expect a phased timeline with quick wins identified in the first week, deeper process redesign in the following sprints, and hand-off documentation by project close. When you reply, please outline relevant logistics or procurement projects you have led, the tools you rely on for data analysis, and how long each phase would take based on your typical approach.
