Q: What happens after the initial analysis at IL2000?
A: Once we complete the detailed analysis, we present the findings to the prospective client. If the client decides to move forward, we draft a contract to implement the solutions we've identified. These solutions often include significant cost savings and process improvements.
Q: What does the implementation process look like?
A: Our implementation process generally involves integrating our SaaS-based technology with the client's ERP system via APIs. This technology includes our transportation management system, freight audit and pay system, and BI system. We also handle carrier negotiation and contracting, shipment management, and exception resolution.
Q: Can you explain the shipment management and exception resolution process?
A: Certainly! Our team physically tracks every shipment, ensuring timely pickups and deliveries. If a shipment is delayed, we communicate with the carrier to resolve the issue, update the new date, and provide an exception reason. We also handle freight audit, dispute resolution, and GL coding. Once everything is sorted, we send the client's finance team an audited batch of invoices with GL codes, ready for import into their financial system.
Q: What makes IL2000's service unique?
A: The most valuable service we offer is our continuous improvement consulting. Using our BI platform and robust data analytics, which our clients have full access to, our dedicated enterprise account manager identifies continuous improvement opportunities. They collaborate with the client to prioritize actions and capture these improvements. We also regularly review freight savings reports to ensure we're achieving the promised savings.
