The subject of e-commerce is popular today. And the actual definition of e-commerce varies substantially from user to user. Here at Amstan we are utilizing web based applications to provide a medium by which we can offer a wide variety of on-line e-commerce services.
At Amstan, we first get a good understanding of your business and determine exactly what you need to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the communication process with your logistic partners.
We then develop a program designed to meet you needs.
This program can be implemented regardless of your decision to use any of our logistic services.

Here are a few programs we offer:

Advanced Shipment Notification
When the truck is loaded, we communicate this information directly to your customers. In this manner, your customers can plan their activity based upon this information. Advanced Shipment Notification strengthens the relationship between you and your customer.

Shipment Status Report
Each day, we receive information from your carriers regarding the location of your shipment. This can be made available in a report format. Or alternatively, you can dial into our system and track the status immediately.

Electronic Invoicing
We can work with your transportation providers to develop a program whereby they electronically submit their invoice to you rather than sending in a freight bill.

Other Services
These are just a few of the services we offer. In a addition to e-commerce, we offer a full range of transportation & distribution consultation services.

Site Location Analysis
Utilizing data that you supply, we can provide you with options regarding the location of new warehouses. Such options take into account desired customer service levels and freight expense.

Transportation Cost Analysis
We can review your freight bills to identify areas where freight expense can be reduced. You are then provided with a report summarizing our findings.

Carrier Selection Analysis
We evaluate the methods currently used to select carriers and make suggestions where changes can result in improved customer service levels.

Material Handling Review
Your packaging is reviewed to ensure that it meets required specifications. We then advise modifications which can improve the packaging to better protect your product or changes that can reduce your packaging and freight expense.
