Procurement

Experience

PLG has participated in more than US $4B in transportation and logistics procurement activities on behalf of its clients, spanning all transportation modes and throughout the world.

Utilizing detailed market analysis, benchmarking, and transportation procurement best practices, clients can take advantage of PLG's unique expertise and market insights to achieve competitive rates that would be otherwise difficult to obtain on their own.  We also help our clients understand and utilize all of the negotiation leverage points and tactics.
 

Flexibility

PLG's role can range from behind-the-scenes benchmarking and negotiations advice, side-by-side negotiations with vendors, or full representation of the client at the negotiating table.  Our approach is a data-driven and non-adversarial one in which the goal is for the client and the awarded vendor(s) to emerge from the negotiations prepared for a positive, long-term relationship.
 

Implementation

Going beyond just the procurement activity, PLG also helps clients prepare and negotiate service contracts, as well as develop and manage transition and implementation plans for new vendors, contracts, and services.
