Market Insights

Data-driven intelligence for lane pricing mastery

Market Insights removes pricing uncertainty by revealing accurate, competitive lane rates based on historical data, accounting for critical factors like seasonality and transit time.

  • Strategic benchmarking and lane grading The platform assigns an overall letter grade (e.g., “B+”) to specific lanes, allowing carriers to see exactly where their current pricing stands compared to the market average to identify where they can be more competitive.
  • Contextual data analysis Unlike static rate sheets, it accounts for critical external factors such as seasonality, transit times, and driver Hours of Service (HOS) data to ensure that quoted rates are both profitable and realistic.
  • Optimized capacity planning By revealing the most lucrative routes and high-demand freight flows, the tool helps dispatchers minimize "deadhead" (empty) miles and strategically position equipment in regions with the strongest rate growth.

The strategic move to implement Freight Audit was about much more than processing invoices. We wanted to transform our logistics into a truly 'sound' and intelligent system. It needed to reflect our commitment to kaizen and our need for accurate data to make fact-based decisions, reinforcing our core values of continuous improvement.
