USE CASES
Bearing Analytics support complex supply chain by transforming fragmented data into clear, prioritized actions-supported by engineering expertise.
Transportation Cost Reduction
Identify and quantify transportation cost drivers across modes, lanes, carriers, and customers. Engineers support prioritization of practical, sustainable cost initiatives.
Typical outcomes:
Improved cost visibility | Identified savings opportunities | Reduced cost variability
Network, Mode & Warehouse Optimization
Evaluate end-to-end distribution networks by analyzing shipment flows, warehouse footprints, service requirements, lane density, and cost-to-serve implications.
Engineering support enables informed decisions around warehouse placement, network rationalization, mode selection, and service trade-offs.
Typical outcomes:
• Better alignment between network design and service expectations
• Network consolidation or rationalization opportunities
• Improved balance between cost, inventory, and service
Carrier Performance & Service Management
Measure carrier performance using service, cost, and variability metrics to support accountability and informed sourcing decisions.
Cost to Serve Analysis
Understand the true cost to serve customers, products, channels, or regions by integrating transportation, handling, service, and operational data.
Typical outcomes:
• Clear visibility into profitability drivers
• Identification of misaligned service models
• Better margin-aligned decisions
Inventory Carrying Cost & Working Capital
Gain visibility into inventory positioning, velocity, and carrying cost drivers to support better trade-offs between service, cost, and cash flow.
Continuous Improvement & Governance
Move from one-time analysis to sustained performance management through embedded analytics, governance, and engineer-led initiatives.
