What We Do

Analysis

ISS analyzes your current freight situation, and uses its extensive benchmarking capabilities to determine if you are currently receiving competitive pricing from your carrier.

Benchmarking

Associates at ISS have seen thousands of transportation agreements in every industry.

• ISS uses this experience to determine if you are receiving competitive pricing from your carrier, taking into consideration your shipment characteristics, zone/weight distributions, industry, and geographic location.
• It’s likely that your company has obtained its rates without having a real frame of reference. Therefore, it is extremely likely that money is being left on the table.
• The only way to truly optimize your freight agreements is to utilize a resource, such as ISS, that has been on the other side of the negotiation.
• Associates at ISS know exactly what discounts are yielded by specific volume/revenue level thresholds, shipment characteristics, zone/weight distributions, etc, because they have put these contracts in place on behalf of the carriers.

Strategic Sourcing

If ISS determines that you are not currently receiving the most competitive incentives in the market today, ISS will recommend that you contract ISS to optimize your agreements.

• ISS compiles the data that you have provided to generate an extremely comprehensive RFP document to submit to the selected participating carriers.
• ISS guides the negotiations by providing all participants with requisites and suggestions to win/retain your business. Utilizing ISS’s strategy eliminates the need for countless, time-consuming rounds of negotiations.
• ISS knows all the key points to present to your vendors in order to achieve the most competitive discounts available.
• ISS ensures and facilitates the implementation of any technology value-added carrier solutions at no cost to you, the shipper.
