ShipperInsights gives clients a clear understanding of their opportunities before they reach the negotiating table. We evaluate current outbound and inbound shipping spend,
carrier pricing and contract terms against relevant market benchmarks, while identifying emerging carrier alternatives, evolving service capabilities, performance requirements, service levels, and costly accessorial charges that can materially impact total transportation spend.
Armed with this market intelligence and our team’s carrier-side expertise, clients enter negotiations with greater insight, clear expectations, and a stronger negotiating position. Our goal is to create a more informed and strategic negotiation process that delivers competitive pricing, improved contract terms, optimized service levels, and measurable cost savings.
Our proven approach supports every stage of the carrier negotiation and optimization process—from initial data analysis and market benchmarking to negotiation strategy, contract review, implementation, and ongoing performance and savings reporting.
The result: stronger contracts, optimized service levels and measurable cost savings – delivered through our proven process.
Our Proven Process
Step 1
NDA — Protecting Your Information
We begin with a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to protect the confidentiality of your sensitive shipping, pricing, and contract information.
Step 2
Data Gathering
You provide your current carrier agreements and three months of shipping invoices, giving our team the information needed to understand your shipping profile, volumes, service requirements, and costs.
Step 3
Cost & Savings Opportunity Analysis
Our former carrier pricing executives conduct a no-cost, no-obligation proprietary AI-driven analysis of your shipping data. We benchmark your rates, fees, terms, and service levels against relevant industry and market data to identify opportunities for cost savings, improved contract terms, and carrier network optimization.
Step 4
Savings Strategy Review
Within 7–10 days, we present a detailed analysis identifying where savings opportunities exist, how much you may be able to save, and strategies to improve your pricing, contract terms, service levels, and carrier network.
Step 5
Negotiation Strategy & Counsel
Armed with detailed market intelligence, benchmarking, and our carrier-side expertise, we work as your strategic advisor to guide you through the negotiation, contract review, execution, and implementation process to help secure highly competitive rates and terms while you maintain direct control of your carrier relationships.
Step 6
Ongoing Performance & Savings Reporting
As rates, surcharges, volumes, and market conditions change, we provide ongoing invoice auditing, contract monitoring, benchmark updates, industry intelligence, and savings reporting to help protect and expand your savings over time.
Significant Savings. Minimal Time. No Disruption.
Our process requires minimal time and resources from your team with no disruption to your day-to-day shipping operations. ShipperInsights handles the analysis, benchmarking, negotiation support, implementation, and ongoing monitoring—allowing you to stay focused on your business while we focus on reducing and optimizing your shipping costs.
