Have confidence in your freight operations
Freight and D&D are some of the biggest cost lines in your supply chain and business, but the performance data behind them sits across forwarders, carriers, spreadsheets and inboxes. Beacon brings it into one workspace, so you know that money is spent accurately, on contracts that perform, on the best routes. And when tariffs or disruption hit, you can make the next move quickly.

Truly understand your freight spend
Every freight and D&D charge in one place, tied to the shipment, contract and forwarder behind it.
Pay only what you agreed to
Beacon checks freight invoices against your contracted rates and what actually happened to each shipment, and flags anything that does not match before it is paid.
Contracts that perform
Every forwarder and carrier measured against what they signed up to on transit time, service and rate. If one is falling short, you know, and renewals start from evidence.
Put volume on the best routes
Compare lanes on actual transit time, reliability and cost, and move volume to the ones that deliver.
Move when the market moves
Tariffs change, a route closes, rates spike. With cost, volume and performance data already connected, your team can work out the options and act in days rather than weeks.
Fewer surprises
D&D risk, delays and lead times that are drifting are flagged early enough to do something about them.
Leadership questions, answered.
We already get supply chain reporting. What is different?
Reporting built on fragmented data arrives late and needs reconciling before anyone trusts it. Beacon connects shipment, contract and invoice data in one place, so the numbers are current and everyone works from the same ones.
How do we know our freight spend is accurate?
Every invoice is compared with your contracted rates and the shipment events behind it. Charges that do not match are flagged so your team can dispute them before payment.
How does this help when tariffs or disruption hit?
You can see straight away which lanes, suppliers and shipments are exposed, what they cost today and how your forwarders are performing on the alternatives. That is the starting point for a fast decision.
What does it do for cash flow?
Fewer avoidable D&D and air freight costs, invoice errors caught before payment, and lead-time evidence your team can use to renegotiate supplier payment terms on lanes that have slowed down.
Do we rip and replace our systems?
No. Beacon works on top of what you already have. Start with spreadsheets and documents, and connect by API when you are ready.
How many carriers connect?
160+ carriers, measured on one consistent basis.
