Narrative Footnotes: Weâre here today to talk about a better approach to your organizationâs supply-chain needs, one which has the potential to resolve the conflicts you currently face between the need for a reliable logistics partner and the need to make your logistics expenses more predictable.
But first, letâs talk just a little bit about WHY these priorities in conflict in the first place. How did we get here? And what can we do about it?
Narrative Footnotes: Iâll start by stating the obvious: For manufacturers and distributors, logistics exists to empower your business.
Itâs an essential tool that helps make your companyâs strategic vision possible by providing the bridge that connects your product with your customer.
It sounds simple, but today itâs anything but. Letâs look at why that is.
For the same reason as the last slide, I suggest removing the period after the incomplete sentence âAn industry-wide problemâ JMcK
Narrative Footnotes: One of todayâs biggest problems for the supply-chain industry is the slow pace of digital transformation. These days, customers expect âanytime, anywhereâ ordering convenience and full transparency when it comes to their shipments â yet, according to a recent PricewaterhouseCoopers report, â2017 Commercial Transport Trends,â
âOnly 28% of the [industry] claim a high level of digitization today,â showing a âtroubling level of reluctanceâŚâ and ââŚwidespread confusion.â
This is happening in big and small ways across the entire marketplace. Which, for you, means that finding a reliable logistics partner who can offer innovative, technology-driven â and, ultimately, cost-saving -- solutions is anything but easy.
Narrative footnotes: Another challenge our customers tell us about today are rising supply-chain expenses. First, the economy has been growing, so âfreight demandâ is increasing. Second, new hours-of-service requirements for drivers are expected to worsen the driver shortage. Third, carriers are upgrading systems to meet the new electronic logging devices (ELD) rules â and passing the costs on to you. (Cerasis.com, â8 Freight Shipping Trends,â Feb. 28, 2017)
On top of that â and youâve probably experienced it, too â consignees are getting harder to deal with. Compliance fees abound. Itâs especially true with traditional LTL (âless-than-truckloadâ) carriers who simply drop trailers at delivery, often not getting an individual delivery receipt for each shipment. Delivery appointments arenât made until shipments reach their delivery terminals, leaving open the possibility that your delivery requirements wonât be met. Itâs a reactionary transportation model where service failures are common and the associated costs could be significant.
Whoâs paying? Customers. You.
Narrative footnotes: Just imagine: If you could order and track your shipments and warehouse inventory using a state-of-the-art management system, youâd be better off than 72% of the supply-chain providers in the market today.
What if you could also instantly access customizable business intelligence platform that can slice and dice your data any way you want? Youâd have exactly what you need to present to your management.
And what if your supply-chain partner quickly adapted to your changing needs, offering a new plan quickly, when you need it most? And just imagine the benefits of having a dedicated, personal customer care team â actual people you know by name you can call if you have a question?
Accepting the industryâs reactionary supply-chain model is not your only choice. GTLI answers this challenge through convergence of proactive planning and latest technology.
Narrative footnotes: Meanwhile, your management demands results.
So this is where customers like you find themselves today â facing the daily headaches in a changing marketplaceâŚ
âŚlike the lack of day-to-day visibility into where your shipment is, compliance penalties, damage to companyâs reputation and bottom lineâŚ
âŚwhile also heeding upper management who wants to keep shipping costs competitive and deliveries timely.
The result? It often feels impossible to make decisions and allocate resources in a way that doesnât disappoint SOMEONE.
Narrative footnotes: We sometimes get asked, âHow do you compete with bigger firms?â Our answer is, by using advanced technology â plus, our high-touch customer service.
Even with big firms, it boils down to the actual people youâre dealing with. You may sign with a bigger provider -- but get an inexperienced team to handle your account. We introduce you to the exact people whoâll be handling your supply-chain needs. And they are always a click or phone call away.
New to our programs? Not sure of the right mode for your shipment? Have questions about creating or running reports? Contact one of our experienced freight logistics professionals â and weâll walk you through it. Whether it's your domestic freight, supply-chain optimization, warehousing, international shipping or fully managed services -- our dedicated Customer Care team is standing by, ready to help you.
Narrative footnotes: Think of us as your âeverythingâ logistics PARTNER. Give us freight that requires precise handling. Ask us to find you a warehouse closest to your customer, so you can save on shipping costs. Tell us you're looking to redesign your entire supply chain or implement new and innovative freight solutions.
We've been honing our logistics expertise since 1995. We are licensed air/ground/ocean specialists in consolidation and transport of less-than-truckload and truckload freight. We want to start with a conversation, understand what âhurtsâ â and help you find a solution. Weâll ask you for your MOST challenging supply-chain problems, and help you solve them.
Narrative footnotes: Activeship-TMS is our state-of-the-art, cloud-based, full-service transportation management software that gives you full EDI capability, control and visibility. Itâs integrated with Mercury Gate TMS, and fully mobile.
Optimization, load building and planning, tendering, tracking, freight payment and customized reporting are simple through your personalized, easy-to-use customer portal. In one place, get quotes, dispatch and track shipments and view or download copies of shipment documents. Ship LTL, truckload, intermodal, air freight, or any type of time-sensitive shipment. Ship and track single shipments -- or handle real-time, continuous shipments if you run complex supply-chain operations. For routine shipments that don't require special care, we've simplified shipment execution and management to give you total control. For shipments requiring special attention, our transportation professionals are available to make sure that every transaction meets or exceeds your expectations.
In addition, our real-time EDI updates, email or telephone notifications enhance your communications and supply-chain efficiency -- before, during and after delivery.
Narrative footnotes: We also provide all types of warehouse and distribution services, from local to global, including real-time visibility of inventory, orders and shipments. Much like Activeship TMS, our Warehouse Management System gives you real-time, quantifiable benefits that maximize your supply-chain efficiency, cost-savings and performance. Its user-friendly, customized web portal gives you total visibility right from your mobile phone. Status updates, standard and customizable reports show you real-time inventory, shipment and tracking information and more. You can also receive automatic email notifications of key warehouse events -- e.g., receipts, shipments, etc.
We have 4 regional warehouses â and we're increasing to 6 in 2018. Store product closer to your customer; reduce shipping costs; use our AIB certified, dry and temperature controlled storage; use full service storage, handling, inventory and fulfillment -- all through our online, real-time access to data and inventory transactions.

Narrative footnotes: With thousands of trucks and carriers nationwide, we are 1 of only 4 officially approved Walmart Third Party Consolidators in the nation.
Hereâs why weâre on that very short list: We consistently show >95% "On-Time, In Full" (OTIF) compliance. While the industry-average freight-claims ratio is 2%, at GTLI, we pride ourselves on delivering our customersâ shipments with a fraction of that â only 0.0025%. We provide service to all 42 Walmart Dry Distribution Centers from multiple locations. Besides Walmart, we consolidate to other big-box retailers.Â
This is also a testament to our expertise and reliance on modern logistics technology. In terms of being âwired,â we are one of the industry leaders.
Narrative footnotes: We try out best to move LTL shipments in TL ("truck load") quantities, direct to consignee. That saves your money and your product. Our proprietary LTR ("load-to-ride") model, Pallet Plus, eliminates handling and OS&D claims and reduces your costs on volume LTL shipments nationwide.
While traditional LTL carriers do little preplanning and pursue the easiest, appointment-free opportunities, we plan the logistics of your shipment from the time we get your order, before we even receive your goods at our terminal. We PRE-plan for each part of the delivery. We also get proof of delivery (POD) for every shipment at the time of delivery.
All this attention to detail translates into real, tangible benefits: moving your products through the supply chain with reduced claims exposure and compliance issues, saving you money.
Narrative footnotes: Customers tell us that with our high-tech transportation and warehousing systems, they enjoy real-time, quantifiable benefits -- rather than trying to measure theorized benefits after the fact.
Customers tell us, they are happy to put the days of dropped trailers behind them. They enjoy getting paid quickly by consignees with our live delivery technology. They enjoy avoiding compliance penalties that may far exceed the false savings of a âcheaper price.â They enjoy our extra-low freight-claims ratio and the instant visibility into where their shipments are, whether in transit or at one of our AIB-certified warehouse facilities.
After all, we are 1 of only 4 official Walmart Vendor Pool Consolidators in the nation for a reason.
Narrative footnotes: As we wrap up, letâs talk big-picture again. What are we asking you to consider?
We're offering you access to our state-of-the-art shipping and warehouse technology, money-saving consolidation of LTL orders, the ability to move your products in TL capacity with TL carriers, reduce handling, improve your delivery date compliance, reduce your OS&D claims, reduce lead times and delivery costs, enhance inventory management and order planning -- and improve your visibility and reporting. All in one place.
Our services may not be the cheapest, but in this business, you get what you pay for. With us, you see exactly what you get â namely, intangible savings upfront and tangible savings down the road with our high-tech solutions, 95% on-time delivery, our industry-leading freight-claims ratio, dedicated customer support, and cost savings in eliminating vendor compliance issues.
Narrative footnotes: From shipping and warehousing to supply-chain optimization consultancy and international shipping services, our customers rely on us to support their supply-chain needs.
Over the past 22 years in this business, weâve earned a reputation for high-quality service and ethical business practices, making GTLI the air, ground, and ocean freight- forwarding company you can trust.
Weâll always ask you for your MOST complex supply-chain challenges, and help you solve them. We want to be your supply-chain PARTNER.
Thank you.
