The challenge

Freight spend was spread across carrier invoices in different formats, so cost per lane and mode was never comparable and rate negotiations lacked leverage.

What we built

We normalized freight invoices across carriers into one cost model with spend by lane, mode, carrier, and accessorial, benchmarked against contracted rates.

  • Freight invoices normalized across carriers and modes.
  • Cost per lane, mode, and accessorial with trend.
  • Contracted-versus-billed rate comparison.

Outcomes

  • Cost per lane is finally comparable across carriers.
  • Accessorial creep is visible and challenged.
  • Rate negotiations open with real spend data.
