Why Outsource Your Materials Handling Operation?
There are many reasons to consider outsourcing your
materials handling operations. Which one sounds like yours?
Keep Your Money. Last year, U.S. industry wasted over
one billion dollars in unnecessary expenses associated with
materials handling equipment. Four out of five companies
cannot even pinpoint their total materials handling costs
(which only begin with purchase price and maintenance). In
fact, years of conducting our Yale Fleet Management Analysis
have shown that one out of three companies actually has more
trucks than it needs. Poor fleet management is one of the
leading - and best-hidden - profit-robbers in many
organizations.
Are You In The Materials Handling Business? It's a
fact: Companies that focus on their core business are more
competitive, profitable and successful in the long run.
Materials handling is one of the tools you need to run your
business. That's it, nothing more. So, leave it to Yale. It's
all we do.
Price. Quality. Delivery. Customers Want All Three.
Today's customers are more empowered and informed than ever.
The result: cutthroat competition and razor-thin margins. A
more efficient warehousing or distribution function can
actually create competitive advantage through lower costs,
quicker response and better customer service. Outsourcing can
put your money back where it belongs - into higher-value
pricing, upgraded technology, product innovation, marketing or
wherever it will do the most good for you and your customers.
