Rate shopping is a common starting point for companies trying to reduce shipping costs — but relying on rates alone leaves 20–40% in potential savings untouched.

The businesses winning in 2025 aren’t just looking for cheaper freight. They’re optimizing how they buy, manage, analyze, and audit transportation.

The New Levers of Logistics Savings

1. Mode Shifting Based on Data Trends
Consistent BI reporting reveals when to move shipments from parcel to LTL, LTL to FTL, or air to ocean.

2. Carrier Performance Scoring
Choosing the cheapest carrier is risky. Scoring reliability, claims ratio, and on-time results helps improve service and cost.

3. Strategic Forecast-Based Planning
Predictive analytics allow companies to forecast peak surcharges, seasonal delays, and capacity tightening.

4. Continuous Invoice Validation
Audit programs prevent overcharges from slipping through month after month.
