Comments on: 7 ways inventory comes back to bite you http://www.procurementalert.com/7-ways-inventory-comes-back-to-bite-you/ Strong partnerships forge strong companies Mon, 25 May 2009 22:15:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Justin Lay http://www.procurementalert.com/7-ways-inventory-comes-back-to-bite-you/comment-page-1/#comment-145 Justin Lay Wed, 20 Aug 2008 19:40:29 +0000 http://www.procurementalert.com/?p=157#comment-145 I just wanted to comment on the "why not do it yourself and save the money?" part. Actually, I would like to answer that question..... Because it's cheaper, and doing it yourself DOESN'T save money. Like everyone else, we have been feeling the crunch of the economy, and we were surprised to find out that using a third party logistics company saves dollars and increases reliability. The truth is that if your companies specialty isn't warehousing and transportation, it is cheaper to allow someone handle it that specializes in that field. They do it more efficiently and reliably. The bottom line is that if a company has years of experience handling this task for many different types of companies, they bring a lot more experience and lessons learned to the table. We have started using a company called Ceva Logistics, that has literally saved our company and our jobs. And there are several other companies that perform similar duties. Just FYI I just wanted to comment on the “why not do it yourself and save the money?” part. Actually, I would like to answer that question…..
