Elevante has the expertise and tools to assess and identify the sourcing solutions for transport and warehousing services that best meet each client’s requirements in terms of cost, service quality and supplier reliability.
This is made possible through the use of specialised e-procurement tools.
The key benefits of e-procurement include:
• transport cost reductions typically ranging from 5% to 15%
• immediate return on investment
• a comprehensive overview of stock positioning options
• extensive, up-to-date knowledge of the transport market
• significantly shorter negotiation and transport allocation times
• streamlined supplier relationships
• improved criteria for measuring and monitoring transport services
Logistics Service Sourcing Strategies
We support our clients in developing a more comprehensive understanding of their procurement function, turning it into a strategic lever for achieving a sustainable competitive advantage.
Our goal is to help clients build a carefully selected supplier network based on cooperation and integration at multiple levels (technical, operational and strategic), while always taking into account the specific characteristics of the client and the geographical market segment in which they operate.
Control Tower
- System collaboration
- Logistics partner management
- Horizontal logistics cooperation
The Control Tower solution represents the highest level of logistics outsourcing.
It is an innovative business relationship management tool that provides full control over all upstream and downstream flows. This makes it possible to monitor relationships and ensure the efficient and proper functioning of the entire logistics supply chain.
As an asset-light logistics integrator, Elevante can manage the client’s entire logistics function, delivering substantial cost savings, high performance levels and converting all fixed costs associated with logistics management into variable costs.
Horizontal Logistics Cooperation
Elevante identifies new opportunities for logistics cooperation between companies operating in the same market segment, ensuring complete information confidentiality while implementing network optimisation strategies that improve service performance.
Sharing a distribution network with a competitor may raise concerns regarding information management. However, it offers clear advantages in terms of costs, delivery frequency and the geographical reach and coverage of the distribution network.
Elevante is committed to achieving shared economies of scale, with particular attention to establishing information barriers that ensure strict data confidentiality and control. By sharing logistics hubs and transport services, we aim to achieve significant cost reductions while ensuring that our clients retain access to all critical information.
Elevante promotes horizontal logistics cooperation based on sound ethical principles. The social, economic and environmental sustainability of freight transport is a key priority for us, particularly in an era increasingly focused on the rationalisation and efficient use of all available resources.
