No Contracts. No Upfront Costs. Just More Money Back in Your Pocket.

We work on a performance-based model so our success is directly tied to yours. If we don't save you money, there is no fee. Every step is designed to be low-friction for your team.

1

The Estimate: Free, in 15 Minutes

We start with a free savings estimate based on your product category and annual shipping spend. For most companies in our ICP range, we identify 10–20% in recoverable savings on total annual shipping spend.

What you get:

  • ✓ A specific dollar range based on your vertical, carrier, and estimated spend
  • ✓ No commitment, no data submission required at this stage
  • ✓ Takes 15 minutes by phone or video

We'll tell you upfront if the numbers don't suggest a meaningful opportunity. We don't waste your time or ours.

2

The Audit: One Week, No Cost

Once you're comfortable, you submit your shipping data: a CSV or PDF export from your UPS or FedEx account portal. Our team personally reviews every line item. Chris's 15+ years of carrier-side experience means he knows exactly which charges have room to move.

What's involved:

  • ✓ Standard shipping invoice export from your carrier portal
  • ✓ Our founder reviews personally, not a junior analyst
  • ✓ Full picture of recoverable savings before any negotiation begins

This takes about one week. Most clients have the export ready in 10 minutes. We walk you through it if needed.

Negotiation, Implementation & Ongoing Claims

We go to bat with your carrier. In most cases, this requires transitioning your account from FedEx to UPS or vice versa. The local rep structure means a new account gets better treatment. We're upfront about this and manage the transition completely.

Timeline:

Initial savings using our quick path to savings can be in place within days.

Full contract optimization across all 250+ line items typically takes 3–6 months.

Ongoing Savings: No Savings, No Invoice

We invoice weekly at a percentage of the savings we've recovered. Billing cadence is negotiable. No fixed fees. No retainers. If a billing period comes in flat, we don't invoice.

Our success is directly tied to yours, and we're selective about the clients we take on because of it.

I thought we'd already negotiated pretty good shipping rates for our brake kits and suspension parts. Turns out there were a few things we'd missed. The team knew what to look for, and I didn't have to spend my week going back and forth with the carrier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shipping data do I need to provide for the audit?

You'll need a CSV or PDF export of your shipping invoices from your UPS or FedEx account portal. Most clients have this in 10 minutes. We walk you through exactly where to find it if needed. No other systems access or account credentials are required.

Who actually reviews my shipping data?

Our founder reviews every account personally. There is no junior analyst layer. Chris's 15+ years of carrier-side experience means he can identify the specific line items with room to move, not just flag anything outside an industry average.

What is a performance-based or contingency model, exactly?

A performance-based model means we invoice based on a percentage of the savings we recover, billed weekly. Billing cadence is negotiable and can be discussed during the audit conversation. If we don't save you money, there is no invoice. There's no retainer, no upfront fee, and no fixed monthly charge.

What happens if Smart LGSTX can't find meaningful savings?

We'll tell you in the estimate call, before you submit any data. We don't start an audit on accounts where we don't believe meaningful savings exist, because we only earn when you save.

How does the carrier transition work if I have to switch?

Smart LGSTX manages the carrier transition completely. We handle the account setup, rate negotiation, and timeline coordination so your fulfillment operations aren't disrupted. Most clients continue shipping without any gap in service.

Can I get an estimate without submitting my shipping data?

Yes. The first step is a free 15-minute estimate call based on your product category, annual shipping volume, and carrier. You get a specific dollar range for potential savings before you share any data.

Is my shipping data kept confidential?

Yes. Your shipping data is used solely to identify savings opportunities in your carrier contract. It is not shared with carriers, third parties, or used for any other purpose.

Does Smart LGSTX handle international shipping contracts?

Yes, international is included in the audit at no additional cost. Carrier contracts have separate international rate structures, customs-related fees, and fuel surcharge tables negotiated independently from domestic terms. Our founder's carrier-side background includes international accounts. If you have international volume, we audit it alongside your domestic data and identify savings on both.
