Tim Consult’s Market Intelligence Initiatives – More than just benchmarking
Ocean, air, road & rail, parcel & express: On the global transport markets, precise and up-to-date market intelligence is the key to smart procurement decisions and cost reduction. Achieving visibility of rates, costs, and service levels on a global scale, as well as exchanging best practices in strategic freight management will help you get a head start when competing for customers and supporting business units.
Tim Consult has been successfully running its cross-industry Market Intelligence Initiatives (MII) on a global and regional scale since 1999.
Thus providing trustworthy freight benchmarking since 1999. Unlike many other suppliers, we conduct benchmarks for land, air and sea transport, thus providing you with a comprehensive overview of all markets.
We use proven and dependable methods to accurately segment and harmonize all influencing factors for our analyses. Only shippers participate. We examine data from companies in the same industries, of comparable size and with the same strategic approach. This assures a high degree of comparability and reliability. Our members use the results for tactical freight purchasing and to sharpen strategies and processes based on experience.
