MOMENTS TO DUCK AROUND
John: Improve operational efficiency between teams to move products
"Most of what we call it is operational efficiency between air freight, ocean freight, parcel if it needs to move and it needs to get from A to Z, what is the best way for it to happen? But it's also in working with the purchasing team."
John: Landed cost is a major factor to consider
"One of the biggest things that you need to target is your total landed cost because a lot of times you may purchase something that's a great price, but if you're importing from somewhere like China, it has a 25% tariff on that goods, that goods is now significantly higher when you're looking at your total landed cost."
