Smarter Contracts, Lower Costs — No Disruptions

At RCS, our Contract & Pricing Optimization service is built for one purpose: helping you pay less for the exact same shipping. We analyze your current carrier agreements, benchmark your rates against industry data, and support direct negotiations to secure best-in-class pricing, terms, and incentives—all without switching carriers or changing your current operations.

What We Do

Our team brings decades of contract experience and real-world pricing intelligence to your corner. Through a risk-free process, we help:

• Offset Annual Carrier Increases – Protect your margins from year-over-year rate hikes and hidden fees.
• Benchmark Your Rates – Know exactly how your pricing stacks up against the market.
• Identify Hidden Savings – Catch what even seasoned logistics teams often miss.
• Negotiate Better Terms – From base rates to surcharges, we help improve every line item.
• Audit Terms Weekly – Ensure negotiated rates are honored with ongoing invoice analysis.

Who It’s For

Our Contract & Pricing Optimization service is designed for shippers looking to gain clarity and control over what they're paying — and why. Whether you're managing a complex freight program or just beginning to question your parcel costs, we tailor each analysis to fit your volume and goals.

If you're shipping regularly, we can help — and if a full contract negotiation isn’t the right fit yet, we’ll guide you toward other solutions that still drive meaningful savings.

Our Contract & Pricing Optimization service is ideal for businesses with annual shipping spends of:

• $250,000+ for Parcel
• $1M+ for LTL, FTL, Ocean, or Air Freight

Whether you're a growing mid-size business or a large enterprise, RCS can step in as an extension of your team—delivering meaningful savings without disrupting how you operate.
