What we do

Transportation Consulting

Most firms that touch transportation treat it as one line item among forty. We only do this. That is why we can price a carrier proposal down to the accessorial.

Carrier Sourcing & RFP

Run the bid. Pick the right carrier.

Carriers get matched to your lanes and freight type, we shift modes where a cheaper one still meets your delivery window, and we fill empty return trips on the lanes where that lowers your rate.

How We Work

We do not hand you a report and leave

Whether it is a parcel contract or a global air and ocean RFP, we:

  1. 01

    Evaluate your data.

    Shipment-level detail, contracts, amendments, addendums. Not averages.

  2. 02

    Build the baseline.

    Cleaned, profiled, and agreed with you. Before anyone talks to a carrier.

  3. 03

    Build the strategy.

    Rates, accessorials, terms and conditions, alternative carriers.

  4. 04

    Run the negotiation or the bid.

    Coaching and scripting for parcel; dealing directly with your carriers on all other modes.

  5. 05

    Analyze and recommend.

    Implementation scenarios and a routing guide. Not a slide.

  6. 06

    Stay through implementation.

    Checking the contracts, checking the rates after go-live. So your savings don't leak back out.

Contingency Pricing

Our standard engagements use gainshare fees. We are paid from the savings we find, after you have them.

Xact Negotiator

We use the software we've built.
We lead the negotiation.
You get the contract.

We built our own software, Xact Negotiator, which prices a carrier's proposal the way the carrier's own pricing engine does. Down to the individual accessorial, against a benchmark database built from over three decades of real contracts.
