Pricing Methodology
Provide details on how to charge both the warehousing and the transport services that you
provide or receive.
There are two ways of cost model.
Open book and Close book.
1. Open book is at cost-plus management cost. We show every component of costs and
agree management fee. An open book contract would typically have a very low sensitivity
of income and hence a low risk rating. Open book contract during the early stages of the
contact allow both parties to understand the true costs involved in the operation. Thereafter,
both parties can move to a unit rate/closed book costing with confidence.
With low volume & many customers, the cost model is Open Book
2. Close book, we charge our customer by activity base or based on handling boxes. Unit
rate model
Commercial Approach
•
Preferred approach “Open Book ” “Reward/Penalty”
•
Typically *LSP Charges a Management fee of 10% plus overhead recovery.
•
This is based on Costs incurred by LSP to run Logistics Center – Labour,
Packaging, MHE, Utilities, etc – These costs are subject to agreed budget.
•
Cost Model Change from Open book to Transactional model. Based on mutual
agreements starting service with Open Book Cost Model, that is suitable at the very
first stage of outsourcing to an LSP
•
Business scope is unclear and volume fluctuation is hard to forecast
•
Logistics Service Receiver has no enough cost control power and data for the
actual cost incurred in logistics
•
Invoicing on the basis of Cash Neutral
*LSP: Logistics Service Provider

Evaluate level of KPI
Apply Uplift Factor – This Become the Acceptable Level of Performance – Usually
10%
Apply Additional Performance Factor This becomes Reward Level – Usually 5 %
If Reward Level is reached then additional 2% is added to the Management fee
