Warehousing & Distribution Fit Guide

Warehousing and distribution fit when inventory positioning and fulfillment performance directly support customer commitments. This guide helps determine if a warehousing program is the right fit for your operation—and what to use instead when it isn't.

How to use this Service

Here's how to use NPT's Warehousing & Distribution from program design to go-live.

• Share SKU profile, velocity segmentation, and storage constraints so we can size space and labor.
• Define inbound schedule, receiving standards, and put-away expectations for consistent handoffs.
• Specify order rules, cutoffs, wave strategy, and carrier routing logic so outbound matches your SLA.
• Set SLA targets for pick accuracy, ship timeliness, and exception handling so we can govern to them.
• Confirm reporting and review cadence so throughput, accuracy, and variance stay visible.

Operational Coverage & Service Standards

Capabilities focus on inventory integrity, outbound consistency, and scalable operations.

• Receiving, storage, pick-pack-ship, and outbound coordination
• Inventory controls with cycle count and variance management support
• Returns and value-added handling workflows as program needs require

Managed Capacity Fit Guide

Managed capacity fits when transportation planning, procurement, and performance need to be centralized and governed. This guide helps determine if a managed program is the right fit—and what to use instead when it isn't.

How to use this Service

Here's how to use NPT's Managed Capacity from assessment to steady-state governance.

• Share current carrier mix, lane map, and mode profile so we can baseline and identify gaps.
• Define service-level targets and key failure/exception patterns so priorities are clear.

• Set governance cadence, reporting expectations, and stakeholder owners so we operate in rhythm.
• Confirm KPI and continuous-improvement process so lane and mode decisions stay data-led.

Operational Coverage & Service Standards

Managed capacity capabilities combine execution support with strategic control.

• Carrier procurement and lane strategy support
• Routing and mode optimization for service/cost balance
• Exception management workflows and escalation protocols
• Performance dashboards and recurring continuous-improvement reviews

Dedicated / Contract Fit Guide

Dedicated and contract programs fit when recurring volume and service criticality justify committed capacity and operating discipline. This guide helps determine if dedicated/contract is the right fit—and what to use instead when it isn't.

How to use this Service

Here's how to use NPT's Dedicated / Contract programs from design through launch and steady state.

• Share volume profile by lane, seasonality, and peak-period requirements so we can size capacity and labor.
• Define target service metrics and escalation protocol definitions so accountability is clear.
• Set resource model expectations for staffing and operational ownership so roles are aligned.
• Establish review cadence, performance reporting, and continuous-improvement process so we govern to outcomes.
• Confirm proof-of-delivery and exception workflows so day-to-day execution stays consistent.

Operational Coverage & Service Standards

Dedicated/contract capabilities focus on consistency, accountability, and measurable outcomes.

• Program design around recurring freight requirements
• Service governance with KPI tracking and escalation controls
• Embedded operations support for daily execution continuity
• Structured improvement plans tied to cost and service objectives

Project-Specific (Oversize) Fit Guide

Project and oversize programs fit when route, permit, and multi-party execution risk cannot be managed transactionally. This guide helps determine if a project-specific program is the right fit for your move—and what to use instead when it isn't.

How to use this Service

Here's how to use NPT's Project-Specific (Oversize) programs from feasibility through delivery.

• Share load specs including dimensions, weight, and handling points so route and permit planning can start.
• Define origin/destination site constraints and equipment requirements so handoffs are planned up front.
• Specify jurisdictional permit needs, route limitations, and timing windows so compliance is sequenced.
• Provide stakeholder map and escalation owners for execution exceptions so we coordinate from one plan.
• Confirm milestone and proof-of-delivery expectations so schedule and compliance risk stay controlled.

Operational Coverage & Service Standards

Project capabilities are built around risk control and reliable sequence execution.

• Route and permit planning with compliance-aligned sequencing
• Coordination across carrier, site, and regulatory stakeholders
• Execution governance with milestone checkpoints and escalation
• Contingency planning for weather, permit, and route disruptions
