In this episode of Parcel Perspectives, Glenn Gooding joins Ian Hartman, CEO of Right Manufacturing Systems, to explore the transformative impact of logistics consultancy on small parcel shipping. Initially skeptical, Ian was persuaded by his new private equity owners to consult with experts, iDrive Logistics, a move that led to a striking 23% cut in shipping costs after just two negotiations. The conversation highlights the critical role of continually revising contracts and engaging effectively with carriers to secure the best terms.

Glenn and Ian dive into how data-driven strategies have reshaped Ian's operations, from eliminating unnecessary address correction fees to refining supplier shipment processes. Beyond cost reduction, the consultancy has leveraged business intelligence to enhance operational efficiencies and support acquisition synergies, providing Ian with invaluable industry insights.
