Competitive Rates

A & O Logistics prides itself on its competitive rates in transportation and other logistics processes. Logistics is defined as the movement of goods from ultimate origin, all the way through the value added processes in your supply chain, all the way to destination. Competitive rates consider both "inventory in motion" and "inventory at rest" throughout your supply chain or demand chain. Competitive rates also consider your requirement for information that underlies each process, as backbone for data accuracy.

Competitive rates take many forms. Sometimes it means "the cheapest pricing " for any mode of transportation. Although we want our relationship to be based on providing you the finest logistics service available rather than being the bargain-basement, bottom end, cut rate provider available, we frequently do have the most competitive prices available. We set the "market rate" for transportation on any particular lane, as opposed to many companies' use of "house carriers" whose rates may change only once a year. For those companies who may have discounted rates with 3-4 carriers, we offer an array of 1000’s of carriers whose characteristics are sorted by "most reliable", or "fastest", or "cheapest", etc., and your order is matched with the capabilities of our carrier portfolio to get you the closest match to your transportation needs. Competitive rates is not only a watch word of A & O, we look to reduce your total spend throughout the logistics process. Even if a particular provider may have a higher "price" for a particular function, you may bear a lower "cost" overall, due to the increased quality, speed, accuracy, and enhancement of your company's productivity as well as your customer's satisfaction.
