What criteria should I use to evaluate logistics vendors?
Key criteria: freight rate, transit time, on-time delivery rate (OTD), damage/loss claims rate, technology (tracking), geographic coverage and financial stability. Weight by business priority.
Should I always choose the cheapest logistics provider?
Not necessarily. Poor reliability adds hidden costs through customer complaints, rush orders, damage claims and lost business. Total cost of logistics service often favours slightly higher-priced reliable partners.
How do I negotiate freight rates?
Consolidate volumes, commit to guaranteed volumes, tender at least 2–3 vendors, negotiate annual rate cards with fuel adjustment formulas, and benchmark against market indices (Crisil Trucking Index).
