Case Study: Negotiating Rates

Results for our Client:

- Reduced worldwide transportation expenses by 20%
- Increased profit on every order sold

The Problem:

Our client, a wearing apparel industry supplier, was struggling to determine correct international freight prices. Because of this, our client couldn't accurately provide price quotes to customers. Making matters worse, our client was constantly dealing with suppliers who moved from country to country in order to take advantage of lower costs. In many cases, the cost of freight EXCEEDED the profit from the entire sales order, thereby making the entire transaction counterproductive and the situation extremely frustrating!

The ICC Solution:

We gladly stepped in and negotiated, on our client's behalf, a menu of extremely competitive freight rates with a variety of carefully selected service providers. These service providers were all hand-selected to ensure that they could meet our client's ongoing needs.

At the same time, we provided our client with a worldwide shipping matrix that included ALL of the relevant carrier rates for destination and weight parameters. We constantly update this guide for our client, who continues to see a remarkable 20%+ savings on their international freight bill. More importantly, however, is that they now see a profit on EVERY order!
