Extracting historical data on inbound and outbound shipments is an essential first step and a difficult one for most companies.
We look for historical purchase order details such as origin, destination, weight/cube, freight cost, freight class (if LTL), mode, etc. to give us the baseline for our models.
Often the right historical data is hard to locate both internally and from the carriers who handle your freight. Our coaches
have been down this road many times and can help you get the information you need from your own records and from carriers.
This data is a critical component in helping you craft better logistical solutions.
