After the tender process:
track your transport activities over time 

 

Once the transport providers have been selected following the tender process, it is essential to continually monitor and optimize transport activities throughout the year.  

This constant monitoring ensures that contracts are executed according to expectations and maintains the operational and financial efficiency of logistics operations. Proactive monitoring and the use of performance indicators enable deviations to be quickly identified and corrective action taken. 

The monitoring process must include periodic reviews to identify opportunities for optimization. The implementation of corrective action plans to resolve identified problems and improve future performance is a key step.  

Upply's predictive analysis tools enable us to anticipate problems and optimize operations proactively.  

Monitoring objectives

  • Proactive monitoring: Use performance indicators to quickly identify deviations and take corrective action. 

Cost Control

  • Price comparison : Regularly compare rates with market prices to detect anomalies and adjust costs accordingly. This approach maintains competitiveness and optimizes logistics expenses. 
  • Contract Renegotiation: Use market data to renegotiate contracts with providers where there are significant discrepancies. The aim is to align rates with market standards and maximize cost efficiency. 

Proactive Monitoring

  • Using Performance Indicators (KPIs) : Key KPIs include costs, delivery times, service quality and CO2 consumption. These indicators make it possible to monitor transport activities and quickly identify deviations.
