iDrive Logistics is not a carrier like UPS and FedEx; rather, we partner with companies like yours and work with the carriers to create tailored agreements that truly align your business with the best supply chain solution, bringing significant savings to your bottom line.

Most of our clients had a similar response which is why we offer a complete shipping analysis. Worst case scenario, we come back and validate that your rates are unbeatable. However, with a 100% success rate, we are confident we would come back with savings.

We will never use benchmarking. Although benchmarking can be an effective tool in helping companies improve many areas of their business, in regard to pricing and rates in the parcel world, it can be very misleading and actually harm the relationships you have with your carriers. The problem with benchmarking when evaluating a pricing agreement is that no two shippers are enough alike when it comes to cost to serve for a carrier, that pricing they can offer will not be similar and cannot be compared or "benchmarked". This will be true whether using the amount spent with the carrier, the number of packages shipped, or shippers from the same industry for comparison. A shipper comparing themselves to another will either feel they are not being treated well by the carrier(s), leading to contention, or will leave dollars on the table.

Let's chat. 3PL services can vary broadly, and we want to be sure your entire supply chain is running as optimally as possible. It will all start with uploading your last shipping invoice(s) for your carrier and your 3PL provider. If you want a jump start, click here to be directed to our secure portal to upload these invoices. Then, one of our experts will run your invoices through our iQ Audit Tool and will reach out with suggestions.

There is a good chance we can. If you upload one invoice here, we can put it through iQ Audit Tool. An expert will review the intelligence and get back to you with details.

Our team members that will review your documents have been on both sides of the carrier negotiation table. They have worked with the major carriers to help create the terms of shipping agreements, and they understand carrier-shipper cost models. Although they are unable to negotiate on your behalf, they will equip you with the intelligence you need to succeed in discussions with your carrier.

The end goal is to improve your relationship with your carrier, starting with looking at every cost you are being charged. Every shipping situation is different, making benchmarking an ineffective approach to working with your carrier. If processes such as benchmarking have not lowered your spend in the past, there are reasons why. To help us determine how we can work with you to manage your shipping terms, upload one shipping invoice here, and we can get the ball rolling!

Auditing is only one part of what we do. We review every aspect of your supply chain and your transportation logistics. We take the data from your shipping documents and create intelligence from the data that will make your entire process more visible so you are equipped to make better decisions.

There is no catch. If you have the best agreement terms, we will confirm, so you know for sure. You will not owe us a dime if we cannot help you with a better agreement.
