Take command of transportation spend with AI-powered contract analysis. FreightOptics compares parcel, LTL, and FTL rates, surcharges, and terms against your shipping profile so your team enters carrier decisions with better information and can target average savings of 18-25%.
High-volume shippers face financial risk from complex, volatile carrier contracts, leaving them at a negotiating disadvantage without a data-driven strategy.
Carrier pricing changes can make an existing agreement more expensive than expected and create gaps between forecast and actual transportation spend.
Minimum charges, accessorials, discount tiers, classifications, and service rules can change true cost-to-serve even when the base rate looks competitive.
Daily operating demands can leave teams without time to model rate scenarios or compare agreement terms with shipment data.
Compare parcel, LTL, and FTL agreement terms with the market-rate data available in FreightOptics, then measure the differences against your shipment profile.
Model accessorials, minimums, GRIs, and other contract terms against historical shipments to see which provisions change total spend.
FreightOptics turns rate, surcharge, and market comparisons into clear priorities your team can use in carrier discussions.
FreightOptics compares rate structures and surcharge rules with shipment data to identify the contract terms contributing most to spend. Across those terms, clients average an 18-25% reduction.

We analyze shipping data against contract terms to calculate true cost-to-serve and show which rates, surcharges, and service rules give you the upper hand in carrier negotiations.
The platform aggregates and normalizes shipment data from connected parcel and freight carriers, creating one view of lanes, services, charges, and spend.
Analyze GRIs, fuel, and accessorial charges by carrier to see how variable costs affect the budget beyond base rates.
Reports compare current contract terms with billed shipment activity, helping finance teams forecast spend and explain changes by rate, surcharge, lane, and service.
The platform monitors spend and performance over time, comparing billed costs with the established baseline and flagging rate, surcharge, or service changes as your shipping profile and costs evolve.
The SOC 2 Type II certified platform supports secure handling of shipping and financial data, with the data integrity enterprise IT and finance teams expect.
Connect directly with your existing ERP, WMS, and order management systems.

Carrier contract optimization reviews parcel, LTL, and FTL rates, surcharges, minimums, and service terms against how a company ships. It matters because a base-rate discount can hide accessorial costs, pricing tiers, and other terms that change actual transportation spend and make budgets harder to forecast in each billing cycle.
Each mode has unique cost structures:
Optimization must be tailored to each mode to capture all potential savings.
Common hidden costs include:
Savings vary by shipment profile and contract position. FreightOptics clients average 18-25% in savings across parcel, LTL, and FTL modes.
These variable charges often make up a significant portion of overall spend. For example, fuel surcharges can fluctuate weekly, GRIs increase base rates annually, and accessorials can be applied inconsistently. Without oversight, they create budget uncertainty and reduce profitability.
See which proposed terms warrant attention before carrier discussions. FreightOptics compares them with your shipment data using contract analysis, rate comparison, and scenario modeling.
Data modeling allows shippers to simulate the financial impact of different contract terms. For example, you can test how changes to minimum charges or discount tiers affect total spend. This insight helps negotiators focus on the areas that will drive the greatest savings.
Yes. FreightOptics checks shipment data against contracted rates and fees. Reports measure realized savings, flag discrepancies, and show the rate or surcharge changes affecting transportation spend and your contract performance over time.
See true cost-to-serve across rates, surcharges, lanes, and services in one record. Bring that evidence into carrier negotiations, then track whether new terms perform against your actual shipment mix once they take effect across your network.
Yes. FreightOptics supports integrations with leading ERP, WMS, and TMS systems. Data can flow through APIs, EDI, or secure file transfer. The FreightOptics team works alongside your IT team to plan the connection.
