Services

Four services. One coordinated whole.

We don't sell them separately because they don't work separately. Pricing without billing is just an estimate. Billing without payment management is paperwork. Each piece relies on the others.

01
Pricing

Rate Structure Management

Quotes that hold up — because they're built from the actual cost structure, not borrowed from last quarter.

Freight rates aren't arbitrary numbers. They're built from carrier costs, fuel surcharges, accessorial charges, deadhead miles, and seasonal capacity. We assemble those components for each lane and load, then construct a quote that the carrier will honor and the shipper can verify.

  • Lane-by-lane analysis. Origin/destination economics evaluated independently, not flattened into regional averages.
  • Cost transparency. Component breakdowns available on request — line haul, fuel, accessorials, our margin.
  • Carrier benchmarking. Multiple carrier quotes compared before commitment.
  • Periodic rate review. Quoted rates revisited quarterly against market movement.
02
Billing

Billing Consolidation

One invoice from us, regardless of how many carriers, lanes, or accessorial charges were involved.

Shippers with high freight volume can receive dozens of carrier invoices per week — each with its own format, payment terms, and exceptions. We absorb that complexity. Shippers see consolidated billing on their preferred cadence, with the underlying detail available on demand.

  • Single invoice per period. Daily, weekly, or monthly billing cycles supported.
  • Reconciled to rate confirmations. Every charge tied to a specific load and signed quote.
  • Accessorial documentation. Detention, lumpers, layovers — fully supported and substantiated.
  • Standard formats. EDI, PDF, CSV — delivered in whichever format integrates cleanest with the AP system.
03
Settlement

Payment Management

Carriers paid on agreed terms. Shippers billed on agreed terms. Cash flow handled in the middle.

The fundamental tension of freight brokerage is timing: carriers expect payment quickly, shippers prefer to pay slowly. We manage that gap with disciplined working capital, clean payment processing, and transparent terms on both sides. No carrier gets paid late because a shipper paid late. No shipper gets charged early to fund a carrier.

  • Standard carrier terms. Net 30 default; quick-pay programs available at agreed discount.
  • ACH settlement. Electronic payment standard; checks supported on request.
  • Remittance detail. Carriers receive full payment breakdown — load, rate, deductions, net.
  • Dispute resolution. Documented process for billing disputes, with clear escalation path.
04
Optimization

Route Pricing Optimization

Cost analysis across carrier options. Recommendations grounded in numbers, not in habit.

Carrier selection is often driven by inertia — the carrier that has done the lane before, or the one that's easiest to reach. Sometimes that's the right answer. Often it isn't. We evaluate the lane against multiple carriers, multiple service levels, and multiple equipment types, and recommend based on total landed cost and service requirements.

  • Multi-carrier comparison. Quotes from qualified carriers, normalized for comparison.
  • Mode analysis. Truckload, LTL, intermodal — evaluated where the lane supports it.
  • Service-level tradeoffs. Transit time, on-time performance, equipment availability, all weighed against cost.
  • Documented recommendations. Why a carrier was chosen — and why the others weren't.

What we do — and what we don't.
