DMA Transportation Contract Compliance Analysis

DMA Transportation Contract Compliance Analysis is a turn-key managed analytic application that reveals how well vendors, carriers and other contractors are complying with the terms of their agreements. With so many supply chain partners operating in dynamic environments, measuring compliance can be challenging.

 The DMA Transportation Contract Compliance business analytic application identifies aggregate contract spend variance and the underlying influence of load changes, contract carrier overcharges, the use of non-compliant carriers, and expediting charges. By automatically highlighting variations, DMA Transportation Contract Compliance saves business people the time and effort needed to manually research contract compliance and can help eliminate “spend leakage” from promised annual transportation spend savings.

Insight and Action

• How much “leakage” did we have from rate, volume and unapproved carrier variances?
• Which carriers were the most frequent offenders of overcharging?
• Which loads, which lanes, and what “ship from” locations provide cost-out opportunities?
• What impact is unexpected expediting and accessorial charges having on my spend profile?
• Who are our top five planners or shippers with the highest contract variance?
• How does actual spend compare to historical cost on designated lanes?
• Are we realizing the projected savings from my optimized e-sourcing events?
