My freight auditor is psycho

Recently my freight auditor has started a campaign to develop themselves as a “data company”. So what exactly is happening here?

Recently, I have received a lot of email from my freight audit hustling a new data centric concept/service that they claim is going to use AI to better my routing and help with savings?!

A freight audit company has to have NDAs with carriers and can’t simply forge generative AI output that violates these agreements. This is to say, they can’t use the whole of their data access to all their customer rates to give me a recommendation on how to negotiate with carriers, it violates these NDAs!

This brings us back to WHAT are they actually doing? What is the goal of the campaigning? The goal is to forward the notion that there are/is savings unknown to the audit customer, but they can’t take you beyond the 7 to 9% you might derive from their standard services.

Auditors can’t be optimizers

To be clear, a freight auditor really must remain arms length from optimization. Their commitment to carriers, made to ensure a relationship that is honest and mutually beneficial, is in conflict if they engage in optimizing.

Finding an optimizer
What does an optimizer do for your company?

If you have a freight spend of more that 3 million dollars, an optimizer like CPC Consultants can review your current freight bill, analyze the carrier’s performance, assess your current lanes and routes and negotiate on your behalf to receive better rates.

A Free Assessment is available at CPC Consultants to help companies understand the value of optimization. If the company can derive a savings, CPC has contract terms to be paid out of the savings. Programs like this have saved companies 10’s of millions of dollars per year! Imagine saving a million dollars per month as a manufacturer, it happens.
