Critical Cost Drivers Destroying Your Bottom Line
1. Transportation and Freight Costs
Impact: Transportation costs represent 8-10% of corporate spending with rising rates and fuel surcharges. 77% of CSCOs rank freight costs as their top challenge because uncontrolled spend directly erodes margins and delivery performance.
How Trax Helps: We audit 100% of invoices automatically, capturing duplicate payments and eliminating invalid charges while building a comprehensive data warehouse for long-term cost optimization and strategic analytics.
2. Supplier Risk and Disruptions
Impact: 74% of companies faced significant disruptions from geopolitical events, while unmanaged supplier issues force 60% of companies to expedite shipments at premium costs, averaging $184M per organization in 2024.
How Trax Helps: Our carrier performance scorecards track cost, transit time, and SLA adherence, enabling predictive risk scoring and proactive disruption management to reduce premium shipping costs.
3. Forecasting Accuracy and Inventory Management
Impact: Poor forecasting creates excess inventory that ties up capital and stockouts that force expensive expedites, contributing to 75% of CSCOs exceeding their cost targets in 2024.
How Trax Helps: We provide fact-based spend and volume analysis by lane, plus actual carrier transit times that feed directly into your planning process to optimize inventory levels and reduce carrying costs.
