Transportation Spend Management

1. Contract Optimization

Our consultants enable you to successfully align contracts with your company’s overall business needs, unique challenges, and long-term goals. BirdDog manages the entire process on your behalf, leveraging an information-centric methodology:

  • First, we analyze your past shipping data and trend it forward based on your environment and evolving business needs.
  • Next, we compare your usage and rate information against our extensive knowledge base, considering up to 130 factors in our analysis.
  • Then, our consultants collaborate with your carrier representatives to substantially improve your carrier contracts.
  • Finally, once the improved contracts are in place, we empower your shipping department to take full advantage of the available pre-negotiated rates.

We will continue to work with you to ensure that the carriers are in compliance, that your contracts stay current with changes in your business environment, and your contract remains competitive

2. Freight Bill Audit & Payment
