Central Line supports your activities without installing the software in your organisator. This may sound a little bit odd, but it’s quite realistic.

We developed  "TENDERit", a formula that allows our consultants to support you each time you’re on the market for offers.  Several steps are possible.

  1. Armed with our software solutions, we help you to compile a representative sample of shipments. This is the basis to get offers from logistics services providers.
  2. We process for you the offers you receive and determine crystal clear which provider has the best offer for each type of shipment (weight, region, service level etc.) All alternatives are evaluated.
  3. We discover your real potential for negotiation, making sure that you’re armed with facts and figures before you start negotiating. You will know what the offered rate means in your actual situation.
  4. Besides this, we can support your organization in taking tactical/strategic decisions. Cost calculation for external logistics in case of changing or adding distribution sites; a completely changed distribution structure; the impact of a changed standard box size on your external logistics costs etc.

Furthermore, Central Line supports logistics service providers in understanding the full impact of their price offering.

We calculate, based on your different tariffs, the cost for a given shipment sample (no maximum size). Afterwards, we analyze the potential effect caused by possible changes together with you. You will know exactly what you offer. You know, upfront, the full effect of the rebates you offer. You negotiate based on facts.
 
     
Central Line - LP/2
  Specifically designed to help you get better management of your supplier invoices. We will help you check and match each invoice from you logistic services provider(s) and prepare them for booking into your financial system. How do we do it?
  1. We implement a dedicated solution on our systems - in conjunction with your team we incorporate your contracts and prices.
  2. We process your invoices. Where it’s appropriate we even digitize them, so sending us the hard copies is sufficient!
  3. Based on your company rules, we match the invoice to the contracts and approve or query them based on criteria including absolute tolerances, percentage tolerances etc.
  4. In return you will receive a file which contains all invoices and whether they are approved. All invoice entries will be coded with the right booking key for further processing in your financial system.
The only thing you have to do is upload the received file into your system for further financial processing. Matching each logistics invoice has never been so easy and the result will be shown immediately giving you high levels of efficiency and a significant cost reduction.
