- BC-660.10Logistics Network DesignDecide where product flows from, through and to — the lanes, modes, hubs and service levels — so cost and transit time are designed rather than inherited.
- BC-660.20Carrier ManagementHold a carrier base with the capacity, coverage and performance the network needs, under rates that are current and contracts that are enforced.
- BC-660.30Shipment Planning & ExecutionTurn orders ready to ship into planned, tendered and dispatched loads that use capacity well and meet each delivery window.
- BC-660.40Shipment Visibility & DeliveryKnow where every shipment is, act on the ones running late and prove delivery happened, so customers hear from you before they have to ask.
- BC-660.50Freight Audit & SettlementPay carriers exactly what the contract says for the service they delivered, and know what transportation really costs by lane, customer and product.
- BC-660.60Trade ComplianceMove goods across borders legally — classified correctly, documented fully, duties paid or deferred as allowed — without a shipment stuck at customs teaching the lesson.
