How it works

From first call to ongoing program

Four steps. No deck, no demo. We learn your operation, then we run the program with you.

01

Tell us what you're trying to achieve

Spend, consolidation, coverage, audit-defensibility - email it over, we work backwards.

02

We source the corridor

Local vendors within ~150 miles of each facility - every quote traceable to the corridor PSCI™.

03

You approve the proposal

Per-pallet price per facility, methodology one click away. Approve, reject, or counter line by line.

04

We run the program

Then it's hands-off - the workflow above runs on every order.

Work transferred

What transfers off your team

Save 5.5 - 9.0 hours a week on a mid-sized multi-facility program. The weekly operational load below moves from your team to ours - RFQ cycles, contract management, and category strategy stay yours.

PO and BOL coordination1.0 - 1.5POs cut against the approved proposal, BOLs filed per shipment
Delivery and dock coordination1.0 - 1.5Trailer arrivals, dock door assignments, late-delivery escalation, wrong-address resolution

Damage, shortage, and quality disputes1.0 - 2.0Per-incident documentation, vendor escalation, credit recovery
Core (return-pallet) pickup0.5 - 1.0Pickup scheduling, reverse-logistics coordination, condition grading
Invoicing and reconciliation1.5 - 2.0Vendor invoices reconciled and billed in your AP schema - discrepancies resolved before they hit your books.
Total per week5.5 - 9.0~ one working day reclaimed
Hours scale with your facility count and pallet grade mix. Smaller engagements come in at the bottom of the range; F500-scale programs at the top.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to our existing vendors?

Vendors that are performing usually stay. We benchmark every incumbent against the corridor, and the ones earning their lane keep it - the program changes who manages them, not necessarily who they are.

How is this different from outsourcing the whole category?

RFQ cycles, contracts, and category strategy stay on your side. What transfers is the weekly operational load - POs, BOLs, PODs, disputes, cores, and invoice consolidation.

How does pricing work?

Quoted per engagement based on your facility count and scope, with a 30-day no-charge evaluation for core programs. Every per-pallet price in the proposal is traceable to PSCI™ when finance asks.

Can we start with a few sites instead of the whole footprint?

Yes - hand off the sites you're juggling now and expand if the program earns it. Most engagements start with a subset.
