Gain outstanding visibility, command and control of your supplier base when you let the Compass team go to work for your organization. Our five-step process makes Inbound Logistics simple.
- Step One
Compass will analyze your vendor base, we will look at the location, volume and requirements of each vendor. We will use our buying power to source the top carrier for each lane. - Step Two
Each vendor will be contacted and supplied with a routing guide for your shipments. The routing guide will have our direct toll-free number as the central point of contact for dispatch. The Compass team will insure the correct carrier routing and service level for each inbound shipment. - Step Three
Large vendor orders will be volume quoted or consolidated into truckload moves with other shipments to bring additional savings to the program. - Step Four
Vendor shipments will be entered into the CompassTrak web-portal giving your organization full visibility of each inbound shipment. No need to track shipments across multiple carrier websites, the CompassTrak web-portal brings the information directly to your team. - Step Five
Compass receives, audits and pays the carrier freight bills. Your accounting team receives a single consolidated weekly invoice with all vendor shipments listed in spreadsheet detail. No need to audit and pay individual freight bills, Compass makes inbound logistics simple so you can focus your building on business.
