AI-Powered Sourcing for Logistics & Freight Spend

Logistics and freight is a high-value, frequently sourced indirect category where market pricing shifts continuously and competitive events consistently outperform relationship-based negotiation. Yet many organizations renew freight contracts without formal competitive processes.

Logistics spend encompasses parcel and LTL shipping, full truckload, intermodal, last-mile delivery, freight brokerage, and warehousing. For companies with significant physical distribution requirements, logistics is often among the top five indirect spend categories.

Market pricing in freight is volatile and carrier-specific: rates vary significantly across providers and shift with fuel prices, capacity constraints, and market conditions. Annual competitive events — even against incumbent carriers — consistently yield 8–15% savings by establishing current market benchmarks.
