As part of the comprehensive data analysis, you will be provided with a document that summarizes your shipment profile, including current pricing, annualized spend, service mix, zone distribution, and weight mix for UPS, FedEx, & DHL Express. This enables us to determine what opportunities exist for making improvements to your carrier agreements.

A detailed list of market premium discounts by UPS, FedEx, & DHL service level and any relevant accessorial charges will be produced. These discounts will be the targets to pursue during negotiations.

Your Data Analysis will include an annual savings estimate that can be expected by negotiating with UPS, FedEx, & DHL Express. Note that this will be a general range without considering many potentially relevant details.

We perform a detailed analysis of any proposal from UPS, FedEx, & DHL Express and provide a financial impact analysis to our client. This service is offered throughout the term of the negotiation.

We recognize that your past history is not always reflective of what will happen in the future. Perhaps there is an effort to move to new services, make a new acquisition, or change the distribution process. Changes may influence the opportunities that are available. We welcome those discussions.

Various factors can impact negotiations with the carriers and like any negotiation; there is a balance between giving and taking. With thousands of negotiations in our portfolio, we’ll ensure that the correct adjustments are made along the way.

Prepare any RFP/RFQ documents for all participating parcel carriers, and compiling the required data packets, prior to launching any RFP/RFQ initiatives.

With more than 100 categories and sub-categories within discounts, accessorial charges, minimums, rebates and dimensions, it’s more common than not that something is overlooked.

Our ongoing support and guidance is our commitment to assist you throughout your UPS, FedEx, & DHL negotiations process.
