With our Logistics Expense Analysis, you can successfully create a freight rate negotiations RFP, parcel rate negotiations RFP, and obtain a detailed assessment of your current shipping practices. BridgeNet also performs benchmarking that will compare your shipping practices with best-in-industry practices.  During this process, we complete:

• On-site surveys and data gathering
• A complete analysis of master and local service agreements
• Data gathering of physical shipping locations
• Gathering of global carrier account numbers
• On-site surveys for all tier 1 distribution centers
• Receipt of electronic shipment level detail from carriers

Based on an analysis of 2 to 52 weeks of your archived shipment detail, we are able to take negotiating out of the equation during talks with your parcel carrier. By cleansing your shipping data and benchmarking your shipping characteristics against thousands of companies in our proprietary database, we empower you to leverage better rates on both domestic and international contracts.  During our best practice benchmark anaysis, we also take into consideration:

• Industry verticals
• Company size
• All unique characteristics included in company shipping profile

On average, BridgeNet Solutions clients are able to achieve an average of 10-40% savings on their small parcel shipping costs. These savings are savings that when translated, become cost-savings initiatives that can be implemented during day-to-day operations.

BridgeNet's freight rate negotiation services provide pre-bid data cleansing of your company's less than truckload (LTL), full truck load (FTL), ocean freight, and air freight shipping data. By cleansing this data, we are able to provide an accurate shipping profile which we then benchmark against the thousands of companies in our proprietary database.

During the freight rate negotiation process, we offer enhanced services, which are incentives that can be written into contracts. Through cleansing, benchmarking, and enhanced services, you are able to maximize leverage on your freight rates.
