Our company was able to cut costs while improving performance by doing two things: 1) invest on a reliable inventory management system and 2) optimize warehouse operations. The latter is especially important because once we did that, we managed to meet almost all of our deadlines.

We ended up using a freight forwarder and that helped us save a lot of money.
