Solutions
Imagine a perfect world... where you can move your freight at reasonable rates and get world-class service along the way...The SAV Transportation group can bring you that reality. For over twenty years we've assisted a variety of global brand leaders in streamlining their supply chains and in moving their products to market.
Strategic Insight
A streamlined supply-chain brings a sustainable competitive advantage... you can reduce costs, increase efficiencies and enhance your quality of service. Today's more progressive companies are engaging the services of Third-Party Logistics Providers (3PL's) at a dramatically increased rate by evaluating their capabilities in three simple steps:
- By testing them with a simple mode management activity
- By evaluating their ability to manage a series of operational tasks
- By outsourcing some, part, or all of their supply chain function
Supply Chain Strategy
The SAV Transportation Group brings an end to end solution - we can manage some, part, or all of your supply-chain functions...
With over twenty years experience in the transportation arena, we have a top-flight management team that brings an interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving. Through an in-depth needs analysis we examine your business, your supply chain, and your customer's key requirements and can design, implement and manage solutions that suit your needs.
Carrier Lane Analysis
Throughout the past 20 years, our skills have been enhanced by our experience in examining complex and far reaching supply chains...Our Inside Analytics Group™ has reviewed hundreds of carriers and literally thousands of detailed lane segments - they know what good rates and they can help you keep your own rates in line.
Vendor Validation Studies
The current economy mandates that we find more and better ways to reduce costs and increase efficiencies and companies of all shapes and sizes are looking to gain more control over their inbound supply chains.
Vendor relationships are prized (and sometimes even delicate) but industry surveys have revealed that a savings 10-35% can be achieved when inbound supply chains are examined and brought under control. Our experience allows us to facilitate the process "painlessly" while we evaluate your vendors across four separate dimensions:
- We examine their outbound shipping methodologies
- We conduct a detailed analysis of lane activity and shipping costs
- We review their communication and documentation procedures
- We attempt to uncover value-added services you were previously unaware of
Integrated Structure
We offer remote and on-site management programs and can tailor them accordingly to address your specific needs...
All of our people are personable and professional - we gain a clear understanding of your supply chain and processes and work with you closely to become an important part of your team.

Bid Management Services
Most all of the companies we deal with (initially) claim to have "incredible" carriers with "untouchable" rates...
You may feel the same about your own corporate carrier mix, but right now it's a shippers market and it never hurts to explore a few options and conduct an occasional validation of carriers and rates. As a 3rd Party Logistics Provider we can help you manage that process objectively and if it's new and uncharted territory for you, we help you with your first RFI, RFQ or RFP processes in place...
