When it comes to the shipping industry, is your supply chain exposing you to risk? We want to empower you with the knowledge to take control of your risk, understand your rights in order to maximise profits and gain a competitive edge and grow market share.
Let Cusack & Co introduce you to your supply chain risk via the below services. Reduce your unknowns and gain ultimate control.
Does your business only use Ocean Carrier’s standard Bill of Lading T&Cs?
We will:
What you get:
A report on the current risk exposure for the business. This will explain how your business is positioned for a COVID-19 and/or APL England style business interruption.
How to use the report:
Use it for internal use in reviewing current processes and procedures.
Moving forward:
It will also include 3 easy to implement recommendations based on the review of sample recent B/Ls.
Cost: $3,000 + GST
What you need to provide:
Want to do some internal business reflection?
Sick of simple mindless but costly errors occurring in your business?
There are numerous repair items that can be undertaken by the business internally to stop the money leak.
What you get:
We will look at your processes surrounding your booking and documentation procedures:
You can request a diagnostic report to identify any gaps or errors (or simply lack of) processes and procedures.
This will involve providing all your current processes and procedure documentation for our review to provide a comprehensive report of gap analysis for your rectification.
Gap + Consequence report
Diagnostic repair report (SME): $2,500 + GST
Diagnostic repair report (Large): $4,500 +GST
Categorisation is based on volume and number of processes and procedures submitted for diagnostic repair.
Additionally, you can also request specific repair items to be undertaken for an additional cost based on the report.
Specific repair items priced on request.
Does your business have a negotiated contract with an ocean carrier?
We will review the contract and associated ocean carrier B/L.
The report will include:
The report produced will breakdown the contract in an easy to understand way to properly demonstrate how the contract works for your business. This takes the contract from abstract and hidden in your desk drawer to showing you how to utilise this contract as a sword against the ocean carrier, not merely a shield of protection.
Leverage your contractual rights to reduce the reliance on the “commercial” relationship to achieve what your business needs with a rapid response time.
Cost:$8,000 + GST
What you need to provide:
The current contract between you and the ocean carrier.
Revisit and maintain your processes, procedures and staff training to minimise ongoing risk and error
Yearly audit:
Staff training can also be provided by Cusack & Co to train staff on the recently improved or created processes and procedures to ensure maximum uptake and adoption into their daily work.
Any or all of the above is done in close conjunction with your staff to get on the ground front line feedback about how to best perform in their job and assist the company to run efficiently with the current headcount. This is feedback that the manager may or may not have heard but doesn’t necessarily have the time to work “on the business” because they are flat out working “in the business”.
This also gives an opportunity for an outside third party with fresh eyes to get information that is beneficial to the company without staff fearing being seen as not a team player.
Depending on which option, a report will be provided collating feedback from staff and improvements.
