Our Consultancy Services

Three areas of transportation expertise

Our consultants provide objective, data-driven advice across the areas that drive the most measurable improvement in your transport spend.

Carrier Selection Consultancy

We analyse your consignment profile and advise on which domestic and international carriers offer the best service match for your freight characteristics — by lane, service type, and performance requirement.

Rate Negotiation Strategy

We benchmark your current tariffs against prevailing market rates, identify where you're overpaying, and provide a structured negotiation strategy — including specific leverage points and recommended rate targets by lane.

Logistics Optimisation Advisory

We review your end-to-end transport network for structural inefficiencies — consolidation opportunities, mode-switching, transit time optimisation, and surcharge reduction strategies — and deliver actionable recommendations.

The Consultancy Process

How our transportation consultancy works

A structured, four-step process that turns your raw shipping data into a clear advisory report with specific, actionable recommendations.

Submit your consignment data

Upload a sample of your shipment history — weights, dimensions, lanes, current carriers, and tariffs. Any standard export from your TMS or carrier portal works.

Consultancy review & analysis

Our transportation consultants analyse your data against current US market rates, carrier benchmarks, and service performance data across the relevant lanes and freight types.

Formal advisory report

We deliver a written consultancy report with our findings: carrier recommendations, rate negotiation strategy, and logistics optimisation opportunities with projected savings.

You act on the advice

The strategy, decisions, and negotiations remain entirely in your hands. We provide the intelligence — you engage carriers directly. No lock-in, no ongoing dependency.

What we analyse

Your data informs every recommendation

Our transportation consultants work from your actual shipment history. Here’s the data that enables the most accurate advisory assessment:

  • Consignment weight, cubic dimensions, and freight class
  • Origin and destination — domestic US lanes and international routes
  • Current carrier names, service types, and transit time requirements
  • Freight charges, fuel surcharges, and accessorial fees being applied
  • Monthly or annual shipment frequency by lane
  • Service level expectations — delivery windows, tracking, handling requirements
  • Any existing negotiated rates or carrier contract terms

What you receive

Your transportation consultancy report

Every assessment results in a structured written report. Here’s exactly what our transportation consultancy delivers.

Carrier Selection Advisory

A ranked recommendation of carriers best suited to your freight profile, covering service capability, geographic coverage, reliability benchmarks, and freight class compatibility.

Rate Benchmarking Analysis

A lane-by-lane comparison of your current tariffs against prevailing US market rates, identifying the specific lanes where savings are available and the magnitude of opportunity on each.

Rate Negotiation Strategy

A structured negotiation framework — the specific leverage points, volume commitments, and rate targets you should use when engaging carriers directly on each priority lane.

Logistics Optimisation Recommendations

Structural recommendations on consolidation, mode-switching, shipment frequency changes, and accessorial fee reduction — with projected annual savings estimates for each.

Surcharge & Accessorial Audit

An itemised review of the surcharges and accessorial fees in your current tariff — identifying those that are above market, incorrectly applied, or avoidable through contract negotiation.

Implementation Guidance

Plain-language guidance on how to act on each recommendation — including suggested timelines, prioritisation, and what to say to carriers when initiating negotiations.
