27% freight cost savings AND 20-25 hours per week returned to the team. That’s what one boat manufacturer achieved by working with Tom Valentine and his team at VALENTINE SOLUTIONS LLC.

On the latest 𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘍𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘰𝘯 𝘉𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘙𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘰 episode, host John Ray talks with Tom, who has been helping businesses from $10 million to Fortune 500 companies solve logistics challenges since 2010.

Tom shares how his team helped a healthcare supplement company save nearly $1 million in transportation costs by distributing products from three locations instead of one. Customers received their products faster, and the company improved speed to market without buying new real estate or owning trucks.

The conversation also covers why logistics costs matter more than most business owners realize. Freight management savings flow dollar-for-dollar to the bottom line, directly improving EBITDA and company valuation. For businesses planning an exit or working with private equity, those savings have a measurable impact on how the company is valued.

Tom explains his business model: Valentine Solutions is compensated by solution providers, not clients. The company only succeeds when clients achieve measurable results.
