Most shipping consultants pocket a markup, lock you in, and disappear. We don't.
Transparent monthly fee, sized as a fraction of the savings we surface. You deal with carriers directly. No rate inflation, no opaque consolidator economics, no margin pulled from every shipment.
Not a rate broker. The job is to help you pick the right carrier for your business, not upsell volume to one.
Our fee is always a fraction of the monthly savings we surface, so the math only works in your direction. Four-month minimum, then month-to-month. If we stop earning it, you leave.
What we do
A single ongoing engagement. The shape is the same whether you're a brand or a 3PL. The audience split shows up in pillar three.
The first six weeks. Evaluate the current setup, run the RFP across the right carriers, negotiate, select, onboard new accounts. Six weeks from kickoff to the new program going live.
Continuous rate renegotiation, SLA monitoring, pricing checks, re-RFPs when the market shifts. We keep carriers honest so the savings don't quietly erode.
Tailored by audience. Brands: 3PL selection and contract review. 3PLs: pricing strategy, markup advice, and sales presentations that win deals.
Two audiences
Same three pillars. The third one looks different depending on your side of the table.
An ongoing carrier program for parcel shippers. Plus 3PL selection and contract review under the same retainer.
