Value Proposition: Part III

The next level specifically addresses the most common questions heard on every sales call; "what do I get, how much does it cost, and what is it going to do for me?"

This is the COST value behind the SEKO value proposition. How do we help our customers improve their bottom line?

Encourage your customer to explore and consider all of SEKO's soutions to move their processes up levels in the chain performance. Supply chain performance is broken down into six levels. As companies work their way up to the sixth level, their supply chain process will run much smoother and their total supply chain cost will minimize.

Six Levels of Supply Chain Performance
6. Velocity
5. Synthesis
4. Collaboration
3. Visibility
2. Link excellence
1. Business as usual

Partnering with SEKO takes customers up the ladder of supply chain efficiencies through their welth of experience and knowledge and their technology platforms. SEKO's internal IT department has a group solely dedicated toward developing new enhancements that allow for customization. SEKO consistently provides quick turn around on IT enhancements that mitigate customer internal investments.

SEKO takes pride in being categorized as a 3rd Party Logistics provider with the capability of developing a solution to fit the precise needs of our customers while most importantly saving them money. Through the intelligence of our IT solutions SEKO has the ability to tie in all of the intricacies of a supply chain and channel the decision making process and visibility into one host system, creating a model that provides:
  • Software performance improvement
  • Outsourced transportation management
  • Improved measurement capabilities and results
  • Process improvements
  • Carrier negotiations
  • Shipment consolidation
  • Supply chain optimization

All facets positively impact the customers' bottom line. The stronger the partnership with SEKO, the more we optimize their efficiencies, and the more it increases their profitability.

Outsourced Expertise
This expertise makes us the right fit for an outsourced solution. And we’re nimble. The network structure of our business allows our team to service your business needs in the most efficient way. And our services can be customized to your business needs. Let SEKO be your transportation team, we’re really good at it.

Exceptional Service
When you outsource to SEKO, you will receive all the benefits of a service-oriented entrepreneurial company. Our logistics experts go out of their way to ensure you receive the best possible service from our network of approved carrier partners.

Customizable Technology
SEKO is a transportation company first and foremost, and to augment our executable capabilities we have developed a robust supply chain technology. We’ll talk about it in detail in just a minute, but I’d like to touch on the main components briefly.

The technology is capable of managing the entire supply chain, from sourcing your raw materials around the globe, to managing inbound PO’s, maintaining warehouse inventory, to multi-modal tracking globally and even integrating with your website for easy e-commerce solutions.
