Can you provide an example of a project where you successfully reduced transportation costs?

In my previous role as a Transportation Analyst at XYZ Company, I successfully reduced transportation costs for a major project. We were tasked with optimizing our company's shipping routes to minimize expenses. I started by analyzing transportation data to identify inefficiencies and bottlenecks in our current routes. Then, I collaborated with the logistics team to develop a new transportation plan that involved consolidating shipments and implementing more efficient modes of transportation. Through negotiation with carriers, we were able to secure better rates and contracts. As a result, we reduced transportation costs by 15% and improved delivery times by 20%. This project not only saved the company money but also enhanced customer satisfaction.
