 | Realistically, what can my company expect to gain by partnering with M33? |
 | Naturally, the level of improvement derived from partnering with any third-party depends on the scope, complexity and current efficacy of your transportation. We’ve found that the problem with most companies is that they don’t realize they have a problem. Sometimes, during a company evaluation, we find that our services will not greatly benefit a potential partner. But most often, we discover that our technology and services will offer partners some, if not all, of the following benefits:
-
Better understanding and control of your transportation.
-
Real-time visibility that leads to improved customer service.
-
Optimization of your carrier base.
-
Ability to leverage your transportation across our existing client network.
-
More accurate freight bill audits that minimize carrier overcharges.
Over the years, a company may have been incrementally successful at streamlining their operations and cutting costs, but the company might not realize that there are better methods and technologies available that would allow them to do everything they’re doing now, only cheaper, faster and more reliably.

| I already have a very efficient supply chain. In the past five years, my transportation costs have dropped or remained steady despite the rising price of fuel. Can M33 help me? |
| M33 is not a one-size-fits-all application. Many of our partners have sourced M33 to put their complex transportation and logistics back on track. Others, with efficient systems and quality carriers already in place, simply want to operate better, faster and at a lower cost. Both are common applications.
However, M33 is selective in qualifying prospects before proposing that they join the network. It is critical that the partners which make up our Client Network support the collaborative environment from a technology standpoint, and that they share common distribution channels.
|
| Can I justify the cost of M33's technology and partnership tools? |
| During the discovery process, we identify, evaluate and project the kind of savings we believe our products and services will guarantee potential partners. If the value is insignificant, we likely won’t choose to accept the applicant into our Network unless their transportation can be collaborated to greatly benefit our existing partners. But usually, M33 is compensated by sharing in the hard dollar savings we bring to a partner.
