Logistics costs optimisation
Country:Russia
When delivering construction machinery to the Siberian region, SCHNEIDER GROUP consultants recommended that the client switch from air delivery to road delivery during the winter months. This resulted in the client paying over 2.5x less in transportation costs on just this logistics leg.
Client
The challenge
The client was looking for ways to reduce the cost of shipping equipment from Europe to Russia's Siberian region.
The solution
SCHNEIDER GROUP consultants considered their local knowledge of climatic zones and seasonality, and recommended that the client change the usual method of delivery: deliver the equipment by road in winter.
The result
Using road transport instead of air transport resulted in the client saving over 2.5 times in transportation costs on this logistics leg alone.
