Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our vendor management services.

Outsourcing vendor management to TimeScan delivers multiple strategic advantages: Cost Optimization: Our clients typically achieve 15-30% cost reduction through consolidated volume leverage, rate normalization, elimination of service duplications, and identification of billing discrepancies. We negotiate from a position of strength with aggregate volumes across multiple clients. Time Savings: Internal teams are freed from vendor coordination, issue resolution, and performance monitoring, allowing them to focus on core business activities. Our studies show logistics teams save an average of 25-35 hours per week after implementing our managed services. Expertise Access: Our specialized team brings deep logistics knowledge, best practices, and industry benchmarks that most companies can't maintain internally. This includes specialized expertise in contract structures, SLA development, and performance metrics. Standardization: We implement consistent processes, documentation, communication protocols, and KPIs across all vendors, eliminating disparate practices that reduce efficiency and visibility. Risk Mitigation: Our systematic compliance monitoring, insurance verification, and performance tracking reduces operational, financial, and regulatory risks associated with vendor management. Technology Leverage: Clients gain access to our advanced vendor management platform without capital investment, including dashboards, scorecards, and analytics that would be costly to develop internally. Scalability: Our services can flex with your business cycles, geographic expansion, or contractions without the need to adjust internal staffing levels. Strategic Focus: Your team can concentrate on strategic logistics decisions rather than daily vendor coordination and troubleshooting. These benefits combine to create a more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective logistics operation while reducing management burden on your internal teams.
