Three Ways to Get
Logistics Cost Clarity
Each service track is built around a specific part of logistics operations — freight movement, warehouse management, or the full supply chain. Take one or combine them depending on where the gaps in your cost visibility are largest.
How the Services Are Structured
Two of the three tracks are ongoing monthly engagements. One is a defined-scope project. Here's how they compare at a glance before the detail below.
Freight & Transportation
Cost Accounting
What It Covers
Detailed tracking and allocation of freight, shipping, and transportation costs across shipments, routes, and customers. We reconcile carrier invoices, calculate per-unit shipping costs, and identify patterns in transportation spending.
Monthly reports break down costs by lane, mode, and volume. Designed for logistics companies, distributors, and businesses with significant freight expenditures.
Who It's For
- Logistics companies with multiple carrier relationships and lane structures
- Distributors where freight is a significant and variable cost component
- Businesses whose current accounting collapses freight into a single expense line
- Operations teams who need carrier performance data alongside financial records
What's Included Each Month
Warehouse & Distribution
Accounting
What It Covers
Financial recordkeeping for warehouse and distribution center operations, including labor costs, occupancy expenses, equipment depreciation, and inventory movement tracking. We produce cost-per-unit-handled metrics and facility-level profitability reports.
Includes reconciliation of warehouse management system data with financial records. Suitable for third-party logistics providers and companies with dedicated distribution facilities.
Who It's For
- Third-party logistics providers managing multiple client facilities
- Companies operating dedicated distribution centers where facility costs are significant
- Operations where WMS data and financial records are currently managed separately
- Finance teams who need facility-level profitability rather than combined facility totals
What's Included Each Month
Supply Chain
Cost Analysis
What It Covers
A comprehensive analysis of costs throughout your supply chain — from procurement through production to final delivery. We map cost elements at each stage, identify areas of excess expenditure, and benchmark against industry data where available.
Deliverables include a supply chain cost model and a prioritized list of improvement opportunities. Designed for operations and finance leaders seeking visibility into end-to-end cost structures.
Who It's For
- Operations and finance leaders without a clear picture of end-to-end supply chain cost structure
- Companies preparing for contract renegotiations or modal shift decisions that need structured cost data
- Organizations where freight, procurement, and logistics costs have grown faster than revenue
- Teams who need an external, structured view to complement their internal operational data
Project Deliverables
The supply chain cost analysis is a defined project with a fixed scope and price. It produces a one-time cost model and improvement list — not ongoing monthly reporting. For clients who want to continue with structured tracking after the analysis, that's a conversation we'd have once the project is complete.
Combining Tracks
Freight and warehouse accounting are complementary — one covers the movement costs, the other covers the handling costs. Together they give a fuller picture of total logistics spend.
Freight cost tracking and carrier reconciliation — focused on transportation spend and lane-level analysis. Best starting point for companies where freight is the primary cost driver.
Both freight and warehouse costs covered in a coordinated monthly engagement. Produces a comprehensive view of total logistics spend from movement through final distribution.
Starting with the supply chain cost analysis to establish a baseline, then moving into monthly accounting once the cost model identifies where structured tracking adds most value.
Not Sure Which Track Fits?
A brief conversation about your current setup and what you're trying to get clearer on is usually enough to work out which service — or combination — makes sense for your operation.
