Warehouse and transport solutions for finance managers

Profitable supply chain operations

Third-party and in-house logistics providers face many different business obstacles, but the challenge of running a supply chain profitably is something they both share.

In today's highly competitive business environment, the pressure on costs is unlikely to diminish. Finance professionals need solutions that ensure their complex warehouse and transport operations are run sustainably and profitably. Often, it is the performance of these absolutely critical operations that makes the difference between profit and loss across the whole business.

Where you need to charge for the logistics services you provide, as in 3PL, CALIDUS Total Logistics provides comprehensive tariff and billing functionality to ensure timely and accurate charging for the services you have provided for each of your customers. In most cases, the collection of data that drives billing for these and other added value services is collected automatically by our systems, and is therefore performed absolutely consistently.

Efficiency and transparency

CALIDUS Total Logistics solutions are built to support efficient, transparent and profitable supply chain activities. As well as fine-tuning warehouse and transport operations for maximum efficiency, CALIDUS Total Logistics provides the management information that finance professionals need to make faster, better decisions.

Remove inefficiencies from the supply chain, improve customer service levels and drive your business forward:

• Remove wasted labour hours in the warehouse and eradicate empty running miles from your transport operations
• Monitor service levels and ensure customer satisfaction by responding to changing situations in real time
• Reduce external spend on subcontractors by maximising utilisation of internal fleet and warehouse facilities
• Improve customer service whilst reducing administration costs by giving customer and suppliers direct access to your systems through secure web portals
• Ensure the timely and accurate billing of all logistics services carried out for customers to their agreed customer tariff

Managed services

Customers are increasingly using our logistics solutions as a managed service from our own data centres. The complete solution (including hardware, infrastructure, devices and ongoing maintenance) becomes a regular predictable operational cost in line with usage, rather than up front capital investment. As a result, you can manage IT resources affordably and strategically, and have cost predictability as the demands of your customers change.
