The SCA Difference
Most supply chain management providers are second or third providers of logistics and are largely dependent upon the availability of key management tools. Further, they drive their own revenues with increased return volumes.
As illustrated below, the SCA model is quite the opposite. SCA’s goal is to minimize return volumes. Our model is designed to continuously optimize business processes and practices, and provide unbiased program design and vendor selection.
SCA holds a distinct rank within the market as well. Contrary to 1-4PLs, SCA provides end-to-end process solutions and assumes a strategic responsibility and risk for program outcomes. Further, only SCA specializes in the niche of technology material returns.
