Distribution Sector

Activity based costing/management in distribution

Pressures throughout the distribution industry are forcing haulage companies, freight-forwarding companies and parcel/postal delivery companies to review their underlying cost structures and pricing policies in order to maintain margins in an increasingly competitive sector.

Activity Based Costing/Management in the distribution sector can provide critical insights into customer and product profitability leading to improved business information to support key decisions.

Activity Based Costing/Management can offer distribution companies an understanding of value-adding and non-value-adding processes and help support continuous improvement programmes and benchmarking exercises.

• Understand customer, product and channel profitability to improve margin management
• Provide vital information to review pricing strategies
• Benchmark operations to highlight areas for improvement
• Identify value-adding and non value-adding processes
