🌐 Logistics challenges – avoiding pitfalls in large-scale projects
Ever faced logistical nightmares with delayed equipment, damages, or improper installations leading to budget overruns? Learn how to steer clear of these pitfalls for smoother deliveries.
Unrealistic Budgeting: Avoid the trap of assuming a low sticker price guarantees cost-efficiency. “Just in time” delivery is not foolproof, and terms like “prepay and add” or “shipping included” may hide unexpected freight costs. Watch out for strangely low quotes that may lead to surprise charges.
Miscalculating Shipping Complexity: Large-scale equipment shipments require expert scheduling and warehousing. Clicking a button for small products is different from shipping across the country with specialized installations. Invest in professionals for complex logistics.
Unrealistic Expectations of Staff: Project managers sometimes overload staff with tasks beyond their expertise. Logistics is intricate; entrust it to professionals renowned for quality service.
