Marleon
Improves your supply chain and reduces your transportation costs.
Preferred pricing...
Marleon provides volume-based preferential pricing with multiple national and regional truckload and LTL carriers as well as negotiates carrier or lane specific pricing where appropriate.
- Realizes lower base-rate tariffs (i.e., lowers minimum floor charges)
- Realizes greater LTL discounting over current rates (e.g., customers typically realize LTL discounts of 65% - 70%)
- Reduces average mark-ups (e.g., customers routinely face price mark-ups of 25
Outsourced shipping services...
Marleon helps firms improve operating efficiency, free up working capital, and focus on core competencies by providing expert management of a portion or all of your transportation needs.
