What Beacon does for food and beverage businesses
What Beacon does for food and beverage businesses
Stop D&D before it starts
Free-time exposure tracked on every container, so you act before a breach. Charges that should never have been applied are flagged and recovered.
Pay only what you agreed to
Freight invoices checked against your contracted rates and what actually happened to each shipment. Mismatches are flagged before payment.
Hold partners to account
Every carrier, forwarder and supplier measured against what they agreed to on transit time, volumes and service. Contract renewal negotiation start from your own data.
Plan stock on lead times you can trust
When you know how long product really takes to land, you can hold less safety stock without risking a stock-out.
Protect your cash flow
Real lead-time data by lane gives your team the evidence to renegotiate supplier payment terms, so cash leaves the business closer to when product arrives.
Act on what needs attention
Beacon surfaces the shipments, charges and exceptions that need a decision.
Food and beverage questions, answered.
When a shipment is late, it hits the whole business. How does Beacon help?
You see delays and lead times drifting early enough to reroute, rebook or warn your customer, before it reaches production or a delivery.
How much can we save on D&D?
It depends on your volumes and lanes. A large food importer took a $1.3m D&D bill to zero. We can estimate your exposure from a sample of your own data.
Do we need to replace our current 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 does Beacon connect?
160+ carriers, so your whole network is measured on one consistent basis.
How quickly can we get started?
Weeks, not quarters. Start with the data you already have.
