Maximize Global Supply Chain Performance

Since 2000, over 30 times more investment has been spent on domestic compared to international supply chain solutions.

During the same time, world merchandise trade increased by 189% from $12.7 to $36.7 trillion.

A typical international shipment is more than 2 times as costly as a domestic one.

A 1% improvement in international supply chain efficiency yields a far greater return than domestic supply chain efficiency.

International supply chain ‘leaders’ realize annual savings of $17 million over ‘laggards’ by managing international transportation more effectively. (Typical $2.5 billion company)
