Frequently asked questions
How do annual shipments affect logistics ROI?
Annual savings equal shipments times savings per shipment; ROI divides that annual savings by implementation cost. Volume assumptions must match the lanes you actually tender.
Do savings include inventory carrying cost?
Only if you allocate them to this initiative and avoid double-counting with warehouse projects—document the split with finance.
Can I annualize a pilot?
Scale pilot savings using shipment volume ratios; pilots often overstate ROI if seasonality is ignored.
