3PL Profit & Loss Computations & Analysis

Industrial Data & Information, Inc. announces a new report called "3PL Profit and Loss Computations".

By having the detailed profit & loss data on every client, the 3PL is able to renegotiate rates with those unprofitable or marginal clients. Unfortunately - analysts at each 3PL manipulate data in a lengthy monthly manual process to provide management this client-by-client profitability analysis. The analysis is outdated immediately and management has a limited “once a month” view.

This new detailed design report shows a solid design in calculating each clients P&L based on warehousing data. This new design provides real-time analysis available at any moment.

This new ground breaking research report covers:

• 3PL Billing
• 3PL Costing Computations
• 3PL Profit & Loss
• Database Table Layout
• 3PL Executive Drill-Down Inquiry on Client Profitability

Single review copies of the "3PL Profit & Loss Computations" are $395.00 US. Available from IDII.com. December 2005.
