Shippers Shift Contracts to Forwarders Proving Resilience in Crisis

What if your current forwarders lose contract renewals due to poor crisis performance?

Simulate the impact of losing 30-50% of volume allocated to primary forwarders based on their operational response during disruptions. Model the cascading effects on primary forwarder utilization, alternative carrier selection, rate negotiations, and service level recovery timelines as secondary forwarders absorb displaced volume.

What if you shift 40% of air cargo to ocean freight for predictability?

Simulate converting 40% of current airfreight volumes to ocean freight based on Veralto's strategy of trading speed for consistency. Model impacts on total landed cost, inventory carrying costs, working capital requirements, demand planning buffers, and ability to serve time-sensitive customers across different product categories and service levels.

What if your forwarders lack capability to handle increased regulated defense cargo volume?

Simulate the constraint of having insufficient forwarders with defense cargo regulatory expertise as production ramps up. Model the bottleneck effect on your ability to increase defense shipment volumes, the cost premium required to access qualified providers, the lead time extension for complex shipments, and the risk of supply chain disruption if primary defense-capable forwarders become capacity-constrained.
