Air Freight Cost Optimization

A six-week audit of every airwaybill, fuel surcharge and security fee you pay — renegotiated with airlines and locked into a rate card you control.

What's included

  • Air freight invoice audit
  • Airline tender management
  • Chargeable-weight control
  • Fuel and security formula review
  • Signed rate card with quarterly review

Two days on site — warehouse, airwaybills, invoices — and a findings report within a week. We score every charge against the contract: base rates, fuel formulas, security fees, screening, storage. Overbilled surcharges alone fund the engagement more often than you'd expect.

Then we tender: a clean lane file, six to eight bidders per group, scoring at 50% price, 30% service, 20% capacity cover. The result is a rate card you control — fixed formulas, two carriers per lane group, and a quarterly review date in the calendar.
