Shiplify Launches Accessorial ROI Calculator to Enhance Freight Billing Transparency
Shiplify's new Accessorial ROI Calculator offers shippers, carriers, and 3PL providers real-time estimates on potential savings and billing clarity, aiming to reduce disputes and improve margins in the freight industry.
Shiplify has introduced an innovative Accessorial ROI Calculator designed to provide shippers, carriers, and third-party logistics (3PL) providers with upfront visibility into freight invoicing. This tool is a response to the growing challenges of margin pressures and strained relationships within supply chains, offering a proactive solution to manage accessorial charges effectively.
The calculator, a first in the industry, enables users to input their shipping volumes and monthly accessorial fees to receive instant estimates on potential savings. By leveraging Shiplify's proprietary data and proven benchmarks, the tool aims to eliminate the guesswork in billing and foster a more collaborative and accountable environment among freight partners.
North Winship, President of Shiplify, emphasized the tool's role in transforming freight invoicing from a reactive to a proactive process. "Our calculator reinforces a commitment to being the single source of truth in accessorial data while actively strengthening the relationship between shippers, carriers and brokers by making freight spend transparent from the start," said Winship.
Recent research by Bart De Muynck Strategic Advice highlights the ongoing impact of accessorials on margins and relationships within the freight industry. The study underscores the importance of visibility in proactive accessorial billing as a means to mitigate financial surprises and disputes.
