Negotiate your freight contracts knowing exactly what to ask for
Your carriers and forwarders come to every freight contract renewal with detailed data on how they performed. Beacon gives you the same. See whether each freight contract delivered the volumes, transit times and rates it promised, then get a negotiation brief that tells you where to push and what it is worth.

How Beacon strengthens your freight contracts
How Beacon strengthens your freight contracts
See how every freight contract performed
Allocated volume against what you actually shipped, cost per FEU against contract, and where BAF, PSS and other surcharges went above what you agreed.
Hold carriers and forwarders to their contract
Promised transit times and service levels measured against your actual shipments, so every missed commitment is on record.
Check your contract rates against the market
Your contracted and invoiced rates compared with current market rates, so you know when you are paying over the odds.
Know where to push at renewal
Your brief shows what to ask for, whether that is another free day, a lower surcharge or a shift of volume to a better performer, and what each change is worth to you.
Freight contract questions, answered.
What goes into a negotiation brief?
Volume used against allocation, transit and service performance against contract, cost per FEU, surcharge drift, invoice accuracy and free-day usage, plus market rate comparisons. It ends with what to ask for and the financial impact of each point.
Where does the data come from?
Your own shipments, freight contracts and invoices, matched in Beacon, alongside market rate data.
Do we need clean historical data first?
No. Beacon structures your history for you, including from documents, so you can benchmark from what you already have.
Which freight contracts can we analyse?
Ocean and air freight contracts with your carriers and forwarders. The more you connect, the stronger your position.
