Freight Consulting - Reduce Costs, Improve Service

Lower rates, better service levels, or both, most contracts have room on at least one side. We’ve been reviewing and renegotiating freight contracts since 1997, giving us unique insights into market rates, service capabilities, and industry trends.

WHAT WE DO

Why Clients Choose Us

R

Full-Service Freight Contract Consulting

Rate negotiation, contract review, carrier selection, service-level monitoring. If it’s costing you on price or letting you down on service, we’ve fixed it before.

R

Fixed Fee or Daily Rate, Your Choice

Most of our work is agreed on a fixed fee for a defined scope, though some clients prefer a daily rate when they want flexibility, implementation support, for instance, where the number of days needed isn’t fixed from day one.

R

Deep Provider Relationships, Not Just a Track Record

We keep tabs on the freight provider market because it’s core to what we do, real relationships with carriers worldwide, and visibility into rates and service standards most businesses never see. That’s the advantage we bring to your negotiation.

The Numbers

Our Track Record

The number of years we’ve been running since establishing the company in 1997.

The number of successful client projects we’ve completed in that time.

The ever-growing number of countries we’ve worked in.

How It Works

Where things stand now

Your current contracts, rates, and carrier mix, what you’re actually paying for on paper, not just what you think you agreed to.

What's actually costing you

Not a list of everything that could be better. The specific issue or two that’s costing you the most in rate, surcharges, or service right now.

Which service actually fits

Full contract renegotiation, a targeted rate review, ongoing performance monitoring. We tell you which one matches your situation, not which one we’d rather sell you.

What happens next, if you want it to

No pressure to commit on the call. If it makes sense to keep going, we’ll tell you what that looks like.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you charge for your services?

Fixed fee for most projects, or a daily rate if you want flexibility (implementation support, for instance, where the number of days needed isn’t fixed from day one). Either way, we scope the work and agree the price before anything’s signed, at our own cost, not yours.

Do you guarantee results?

Yes. 180-day, 100% money-back guarantee. Most clients recoup our fees within 6 months, some considerably faster. Our fastest payback on record was 7 days.

Will you also be working with our competitors?

Possibly, and we’re upfront about it. Our client list is public on this site, so you can see who we’ve worked with before you even pick up the phone. When there’s a genuine conflict, consultants aren’t shared across competing accounts, and we tell existing clients before taking on a competitor in their sector.

Who actually does the work, an experienced consultant or a fresh graduate?

Experienced managers, mostly people who’ve held real operational roles like General Manager before moving into consulting. Not a room full of recent MBA grads.
