Transport Cost Benchmarking


Navigating through the Tariff Jungle: Are You Paying Market-Driven Transport and Logistics Costs?


No one wants to pay more than necessary. But freight rates are wrought with scales, surcharges and exceptions and every service provider has unique tariffs. Comparing these tariffs is complex and time consuming. Because most companies are not equipped with dependable data for usual market conditions.

Compare your costs to those of other companies in your industry. Gain an overview and security with transport cost benchmarking – not abstract, but based on your actual freight volume.

Overview


Finally Comparable Transport Costs and Freight Rates

As logistics specialists, we make rates comparable. Our experts analyze logistics scenarios and simulate freight costs based on real freight volumes in your company. We then compare these costs with data from your industry and companies similar in size.

How do we achieve that? We use our logistics freight database which contains several million freight records and tariffs from all carriers. This way, you can be certain that you get truly realistic benchmarks that can be compared with each other.

What our experts will clarify with you:
How do your transport costs compare to market prices?
Do the tariffs fit the singularities and needs of your business?
The answers to these questions provide the foundation for negotiations with logistics service providers – finally, an objective insight into their margins and competitiveness. In short: Our freight cost benchmarking helps you cut costs.
