Logistics
Freight costs continue to grow as outsourcing rises around world. With China, India, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa deepening their presence in the global supply chain, shipping’s contribution to total cost grows. As it does, your margins and your competitive advantage could become vulnerable to fluctuations in freight, duties, handling issues, and hundreds of accessorial charges. By staying ahead of these manageable factors, you can transform your logistics processes and emerge as a market leader by winning with efficient, cost-effective transportation.

What We Do
WCS helps companies go out to the global marketplace and interview, negotiate, and select key carriers: from fleet and rail leases to truckload, ocean to barge, and third-party logistics outsourcing. Our expert will even help you build your own fleets if that emerges as the best option. We let data level the playing field and lead the way to the optimal solution.
WCS’s experience and proven approach unlocks savings: from instantly realized transactional savings through reduced rates, to long-term operational improvement savings that keep rolling out as the data streams in. This focus on data analytics and real-time market benchmarking will guide how ships are loaded, how trucks are turned, how schedules are changed, and how communications are made to ensure timely delivery.
