One key to achieving results is finding the right logistics partners, but that can be a challenge if you do not have great familiarity with the North American logistics landscape<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Having a clear supply chain strategy to support a business strategy regarding what the end customers are demanding and will demand in terms of product quality and service is crucial to fulfilling potential in the North American market.\u00a0\u00a0That being said, there are a few “checkboxes” that should be examined when choosing a strategic logistics partner in the USA or Canada to support that strategy:<\/p>\n

Determine what services are needed<\/strong><\/strong><\/h6>\n

Do you simply need a small warehouse to store a few weeks of inventory or do you need an all-in-one solution that includes distribution?\u00a0 What about customs brokerage for imports?\u00a0 Will automation provide added value for your industry in the coming years?\u00a0 Depending on the value-added services that are needed, you may want to consider a facility located in a free-trade zone or a bonded warehouse.<\/p>\n

Determine\u00a0cities, states, or regions\u00a0where\u00a0the service is required<\/strong><\/h6>\n

With so many providers in the North American market, it is more efficient to narrow down the geographical scope of possibilities before\u00a0requesting proposals from\u00a0providers\u00a0who\u00a0may not provide service in the regions that make the most sense for your business.\u00a0 One way to do this effectively is to conduct a network design study to determine what network shape is optimal to achieve your business objectives while minimizing operational costs.\u00a0 Having a data-driven understanding of what distribution center, warehouse, or cross-dock locations will most effectively support your business strategy is crucial in providing clarity when you\u00a0do\u00a0go to potential providers to request service proposals.<\/p>\n

Benchmark potential providers in the targeted region to determine who might be a fit.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h6>\n

Resources such as Transportation Topics (https:\/\/www.ttnews.com\/top50\/logistics\/2021<\/a>) can help provide a starting place when benchmarking the services, sectors, and industry expertise relevant to different providers on the market.\u00a0 There is always more to learn when talking directly to providers about your specific needs in the USA and Canada, but a benchmark will help you determine who to ask.<\/p>\n

If you are unsure whether your North American subsidiaries are\u00a0intentionally\u00a0leveraging supply chain for\u00a0their\u00a0strategic advantage, it is worth uncovering whether the 3\u00a0\u201ccheckboxes\u201d listed above have been fully considered.\u00a0 It is entirely possible that missing one of the\u00a0checkboxes could be costing you millions every year.\u00a0 It is much better to ask the right questions\u00a0to leverage the\u00a0supply chain as a key tool in securing your subsidiary\u2019s future potential in North America, and being in the right locations with the right partners providing the right service is an important enabler of doing so.<\/p>\n
