Logistics Reporting and Shipping KPIs

Access critical, cost-saving insights into your shipping spend.

Our parcel spend management portal offers logistics professionals a shortcut to intelligent shipping & fulfillment decisions, spend reporting, shipping KPI dashboards, and small parcel analysis.

Features

Enhanced Spend Visibility

Our spend management portal displays the same data and metrics your carriers use to assess your value to their business and determine your pricing. With that kind of unique insight, you can make cost-saving decisions based on your carrier’s cost-to-serve model.

Interactive Charts

Not only does our portal come with a whopping 55 pre-loaded charts to provide you a 360-degree view of your shipping spend, but our multifunctional charts have advanced click-through capability, allowing you to quickly shift from high-level to granular insights.

Access Your Carrier Data in One Place

The spend management portal consolidates parcel data from each carrier into a single, convenient location. Filter data by carrier and account for detailed insights or view your shipping data in aggregate to see the big picture.

Proactive Carrier Management & Smarter Routing Decisions

Pre-loaded charts help you model transportation cost scenarios to align with forecasted expansion, decline, and organic or inorganic growth. Fresh insights into your customer base offer the ability to adjust distribution strategies to improve times-in-transit and delivery costs.

What others in this industry have said about Shipware

We have worked with other vendors in this space in the past and Shipware stands out because of their industry knowledge of the carrier contract process and their hands-on approach in assisting with contract pricing. Every month, we receive customized shipment reporting and dashboards that are used throughout the company.

We work with a team of industry experts that collectively provide outstanding insight into carrier pricing details and tactics. They did an outstanding job helping us focus on what matters the most for our business, which in turn allowed us to reduce our shipping costs while providing the service we need. Very consultative approach, educating us along the way and always taking time to answer questions. I have worked with two other companies providing the same services over the past 20 years and Shipware is by far the best. Truly a professional organization that puts value in a strong working partnership.

Shipware offers exceptional convenience, providing easy access to manage our FedEx bills with the added benefit of rebates, making the billing process both straightforward and cost-effective. The most helpful aspect of Shipware is its ability to streamline the payment process for our FedEx bills, saving us significant time each week. The ease of access means we can manage our payments from anywhere, which is crucial for our busy schedule. Additionally, the rebates provided by Shipware add a financial incentive, making it an even more valuable tool. The platform is user-friendly and integrates seamlessly with our existing systems, which enhances overall efficiency.

We used to use a broker for our LTL shipments. In theory, it’s a good concept: benefit with deeper discounts by aggregating volume from hundreds of other shippers. However, after working with Shipware, we learned that we could avoid huge broker markups and reduce our LTL costs by forging direct relationships with the carriers. We are saving 18% with the same high-quality LTL providers we had been using previously, and as we grow, WE benefit with even higher discounts – and not the broker. We’re also using Shipware’s TMS to identify the right carriers for the right loads for better time in transit at lower costs. I’ll never use a broker again.

I’m not new to logistics. Been at my job nearly two decades, and I’ve worked with 4-5 parcel invoice audit companies during my career. Shipware’s audit is hands down the best. It delivers significantly greater savings week in and week out, and their spend management reports and portal are tools I actually use to improve my business.

Following Shipware’s complimentary rate assessment, I was anxious to get started. But their proposed gainshare split and term seemed too high. So I spent the better part of the next six months negotiating with UPS on my own, only to get miniscule rate improvements despite a lot of effort. In frustration, I hired Shipware. Within weeks, Shipware’s strategic guidance resulted in significant pricing improvements, and frankly, better responsiveness and relationship from our carrier ever since. If you’re thinking of going it alone, take it from me: you’ll get faster results, deeper savings, save a lot of time and do it right the first time by working with category experts. Shipware earned every nickel!

Shipware stands alone as the best in the business. We conducted an RFP for professional parcel consulting services. Of the six firms that received the bid, 5 of the 6 told me my rates were already optimized. Shipware is the only firm that projected savings, and they actually delivered on the high end of their 7-9% estimate.
