Best Practices to Reduce International Freight Costs

Manufacturers of apparel and footwear have long dealt with intense global pricing pressure and implemented low cost country sourcing strategies to remain competitive. To appeal to the broadest market possible, industry players have diverse product portfolios that address changes in season and continuously evolving trends in fashion.

Challenge
With long supply lines, continued price pressure and the requirement to flexibly fulfill ever-changing demand profiles, apparel and footwear manufactures need:

A robust sourcing strategy to continually find the most competitive supply base by taking advantage of preferential trade agreements (PTAs).
To automate the end-to-end GTM process to manage key trading partner relationships and reduce total cycle times.
To manage in-transit inventory to postpone fulfillment decisions and better meet local demand.

Solution
Management Dynamics provides apparel and footwear companies with an integrated suite of GTM solutions that allow them to maintain compliance across their global operations and to continually identify ways of reducing costs including:

Multi-mode Supply Chain Visibility to connect all trading partners and establish a foundation of process control across suppliers, orders and shipments.
Global Trade Content trade content that supports key PTAs including NAFTA, CAFTA, Aus/NZ, and EU.
Trade Compliance solutions that manage PTAs and accurately automate process to avoid clearance delays and potential fines.
Transportation Management solutions to manage the costs of sea and airfreight and optimize carrier selection decisions.

Management Dynamics’ GTM solutions help apparel and footwear manufacturers to realize higher inventory turns and lower total delivered costs while improving fulfillment decisions which lead to higher in-stocks.
