Freight Procurement FAQs
How does the Freight GPO Program help with reducing logistics costs?
Our freight GPO program enables logistics cost reduction by consolidating freight spend through a unified channel, negotiating favorable contracts, and delivering measurable freight cost savings. With improved rate visibility and benchmarking, you can significantly reduce freight costs and control total landed costs across your supply chain.
What kinds of savings can companies expect with a freight GPO?
Members of our freight GPO typically achieve double digit savings across modes. The program features group purchasing freight solutions that deliver freight cost control services and freight management services. These savings stem from leveraged contract terms, consolidated volume, and optimized sourcing strategies.
Why partner with a GPO instead of managing freight alone?
A GPO allows access to preferred carriers, broader networks, and more competitive contract terms than most companies can negotiate independently. As part of a purchasing organization for freight, you benefit from scale, expertise, and streamlined execution under the freight group purchasing organization GPO model.
What is the onboarding process for companies joining the freight program?
Joining our freight procurement program begins with a freight spend assessment and benchmarking.

This process delivers measurable freight procurement program savings in a short timeframe.
