Does Ship Watchers negotiate contract for all modes of transportation.
We are experienced in negotiating contracts for small parcel carriers (UPS/FedEx), LTL, TL, Ocean, and Air Freight carriers. Our contract specialists have hands on experience to insure you are getting the best rate and service from your carrier. Clients realize savings in excess of 10% annually by obtaining our services for contract negotiations.
My account executive advises that I have the best rates given my current shipping characteristics?
This statement is false in most cases. Outside of your rates there are several other points in which your contract can be modified for the better. Carriers impose numerous adjustments on packages and each of these have the ability to be negotiated. Our experienced consultants will work with you on all aspects.
Can Ship Watchers compare our current rates to that of its customers?
While we are unable to share pricing data between clients, we will provide you with guidelines and suggestions based from an analysis of our shipping clients. Many of our contract consultants are former carrier contract specialists that have been on the other side of the fence and know all the tricks of the trade.
Does Ship Watchers require us to be involved in the negotiating process?
We encourage the client to play an active role in the negotiating process to insure that we are addressing every point of your shipping characteristics for maximized savings. You can be as involved as you would like during this process. We will do most of the work through an analysis of all historical data and contract rates as well as what is forecasted so that the ball remains in your court during the negotiations.
How much does your contract negotiation and analysis cost?
Our service fee is a percentage of the savings brought to your account and contingent on there being savings. We are confident that with every contract negotiation our clients will see savings. Our portion of the savings will not be charged until after you have realized the savings on the new contract and invoiced monthly based on savings assumed.

One of the most expensive costs for a company can be the shipping.  Have you found cost negotiations with your carrier to be a bit overwhelming? 

Reducing your pricing contract with the carrier will result in immediate savings for the company.  Our consultants have years of experience with contract negotiations and some have even worked with shipping carriers.  Their job is to help you get the best possible cost and arrangement with your carrier for all your shipping needs.  Ship Watchers has been working with shipping clients for numerous years and will be able to compare your characteristics to that of our clients as guidance during your negotiations maximizing your ability to obtain the best possible rates.

Our experienced former major shipping carrier and freight Account Executives and Management staff can bring the knowledge to the table.

 


Our staff has worked with thousands of contracts in and out of the major shipping carriers.  We have analyzed shipping data for contracts with values between 100K and 1 Billion dollars.  We know exactly what your shipping should be on a cost per piece as well as what accessorial charges need to be reduced based on your shipping characteristics.

The shipping carrier’s reduction in staff has been our gain as we have been able to source multiple former Account Executives and Area Sales Managers waiting to be in that meeting with you or provide the advice you need to complete the negotiations for years to come.

Our consultants will work with you side by side throughout the entire negotiating process or you can elect to have our consulting expertise behind the scenes. Ship Watchers has non-disclosures in place that allow us to work with our clients data and given our relationship with the carriers we can get access to your shipping data through a simple account verification.
