Why Verifiable Savings Matter More Than Ever in Today’s Volatile Shipping Market

The Problem with “Estimated” Savings
Most logistics consultants love to talk about savings—“You saved $3,000 last month!” But when you dig in… there’s no invoice. No reference. No way to actually see where that money went. That’s not a report. That’s a wishlist.

In a rapidly changing parcel landscape—with GRI hikes, fuel surcharges, and carrier contract clauses shifting by the quarter—what you need isn’t just more data. It’s verifiable data.

Why Today’s Market Demands Active Pricing Analysis
Carrier pricing is no longer static. A contract signed six months ago may already be underperforming due to:

  • Hidden minimum charges
  • Disqualifying clauses (like address correction fees)
  • Shifting DIM weight thresholds
  • Region-specific surcharges

Analyzing your current pricing vs. actual traffic is no longer a “nice-to-have.” It’s how you stay profitable.

The RCS Difference: Real Savings. Real Proof.
At RCS, we don’t just show you charts. We show you the actual credits, tied directly to weekly UPS and FedEx invoices. You can track every penny. Every adjustment. Every chargeback.

Our clients don’t chase ghosts. They reconcile savings with cold, hard carrier data—because we designed our platform around auditable reality, not marketing fluff.

Final Thought
If you're not sure how your rates stack up—or you’re still relying on a spreadsheet someone emailed you—now is the time to take control.

Because if your shipping partner can’t verify your savings…
they might just be guessing.
