Next Generation Logistics Cost to Serve . . . unlocking 12% to 18% Transport Spend Reductions
Cost-to-Serve (CTS) is a powerful capability that enables companies to analyze and predict the true cost of producing, storing, and delivering products—down to the customer, product, geography, and time period. While the concept has been around for decades, most organizations still treat CTS as a one-time project rather than a dynamic, ongoing process. This outdated approach leaves supply chains reactive and disconnected from real-time financial performance.
In today’s logistics environment—where volatility, complexity, and cost pressures are the norm—this gap is more costly than ever.
During this seminar, you will hear how logistics leaders from General Motors and American Axle are addressing this challenge with aThingz' SLOPE solution (Sales, Logistics, Optimized Planning & Execution), a managed service that transforms CTS from a static analysis into a continuous, AI-powered capability. SLOPE enables:
- Logistics Financial Management: Real-time tracking and optimization of logistics costs against budget and performance targets.
- Dynamic Cost-to-Serve: Ongoing calculation of the cost to deliver parts and assemblies, integrated directly into logistics planning and execution.
If you're looking to reduce freight spend by 12% to 18% and gain deeper visibility into your logistics cost per unit, this seminar will offer actionable insights and a fresh perspective on how to make CTS a strategic advantage.
