Best practices in international logistics

Growing low-cost country sourcing and rising sales to international customers have companies seeking new ways to manage the costs, complexities and uncertainties of moving goods across borders. In 2005, Aberdeen Group researched companies transforming their international logistics operations. In this white paper, Aberdeen Group describes eight companies selected as best practice winners, two each selected for global inventory control, transportation spend management, import/export process management and international logistics outsourcing.

Based on these companies' successes, Aberdeen offers recommendations for companies that want to improve their international logistics performance. Analysis of the best practice winners found that greater process automation, improved technologies and increased reliance on logistics partners were instrumental in driving their success.
