Case Studies

Real shippers. Real savings. No operational disruption.

From DHL Express international programs to re-engineered carrier agreements, here's what better economics looks like in practice.

Case 01 · DHL Express International

Global manufacturer reduces international parcel spend by 17%.

A global industrial manufacturer was operating with an unstable international parcel setup, inconsistent invoicing, and pricing that didn't reflect their cross-border volume.

What we did: Structured a DHL Express Authorized Agent program — starting with a pilot lane, then full rollout across import and export lanes. Standardized billing. Added lane-level visibility.

  • 17% overall reduction on international shipping
  • Three months from pilot to full program
  • Standardized invoicing and lane-level visibility
  • Stabilized international parcel operations

Case 02 · Contract Engineering

Specialty food manufacturer cuts expedited parcel costs by 45.7%.

A high-volume specialty food manufacturer was paying premium expedited parcel rates that no longer matched their shipment profile. Operational change was off the table.

What we did: Analyzed shipment patterns, accessorial exposure, and service mix. Re-engineered the carrier agreement to align with how the business actually ships — not how it was modeled at signing.

  • 45.7% reduction in expedited parcel costs
  • No operational changes required
  • Same service level maintained
  • Faster, more accurate billing post-renegotiation

Case 03 · Contract Engineering

Global equipment manufacturer reduces parcel spend by 13.5%.

A global equipment manufacturer was leaking value across accessorial charges, minimum-charge exposure, and misaligned incentive tiers in its existing carrier agreements.

What we did: Complete shipment-profile analysis. Engineered an accessorial- and tier-focused renegotiation strategy across the carrier agreement portfolio.

  • 13.5% reduction in overall parcel spend
  • Zero operational disruption
  • Better accessorial discounts
  • Improved incentive tier alignment
