Carrier scorecard and rate benchmarking
A shipper ranked carriers on reliability, cost, and transit so allocation went to the carriers that earned it.

The challenge
Carrier allocation ran on relationships and gut feel because there was no consistent scorecard tying reliability and transit time to what each carrier actually cost.
What we built
We built a carrier scorecard combining on-time performance, transit variance, damage, and cost per lane, benchmarked across the carrier base.
- A weighted scorecard across reliability, transit, and cost.
- Rate benchmarking by lane across carriers.
- Allocation recommendations grounded in the score.
Outcomes
- Allocation follows performance, not habit.
- Weak carriers are identified and managed or replaced.
- Rate talks use benchmarked data by lane.
