A Guaranteed Savings Figure Before Your Carrier Contract Negotiation Starts.

ShipSigma models your own shipping data to establish what your parcel rates can be at your scale, then guarantees the savings figure that comes out of it. You see that figure before you engage, and before anyone speaks to your carrier.

No upfront cost. Nothing about it requires you to change carriers or service levels.

See your savings. No obligation, no carrier disruption.

If ShipSigma identifies savings and you engage, the fee structure is performance-based: ShipSigma is paid from savings delivered, not from a flat retainer.

No Carrier Publishes What Your Agreement Should Cost

List rates are published. Surcharges are published. Both carriers put a rate and service guide online every year, and anyone can read them (UPS Rate and Service Guide; FedEx Service Guide, 2026).

What your agreement can achieve at your scale and shipment profile is not published anywhere. The figure has to be modeled.

Modeling it means reading the shipment history you already have:

  • Service mix across your actual shipments, and the cost difference between the levels each shipment qualified for
  • Weight and zone distribution shipment by shipment, rather than an average
  • Dimensional weight exposure across your real package sizes
  • Accessorial exposure, including residential, delivery area and additional handling
  • Minimum charges, and how much of your volume settles on them
  • The discounts and incentives you hold now, as they apply to that volume
  • Where the terms of your agreement and the way you actually ship stop lining up

The output is a single number: what your parcel spend can be at the scale and profile you already run.

The Figure Is Committed To Before You Are

Guaranteed Savings, Executed

Our team managed billions of dollars of various category spend. To have ShipSigma guarantee a savings and then fully execute so that we’re realizing increased EBITDA within 60 days allows us to focus on other strategic opportunities.

Randy H., Chief Procurement Officer, Leading Provider of Pork Products

Who This Is For

The band is $1.5M to $200M of annual parcel spend, and freight is covered as well. The parcel work is done on UPS and FedEx agreements.

The engagement fits a company where someone in finance or procurement answers for the shipping line and needs a figure they can defend internally. The modeling examines residential-heavy volume, oversized product and a wide spread of package sizes.

Nothing about it requires you to change carriers or service levels.

Your Agreement Was Priced for the Company You Were

An agreement is priced against the volume, service mix and package profile in front of the carrier on the day it is signed.

What moves after that is the business. Order sizes change. Product changes shape. Volume shifts between residential and commercial, between zones, between service levels.

The shipping profile changes, and the agreement was priced against an earlier one. The distance between the two is measurable, and measuring it is what produces the figure.

What ShipSigma Does, and What Stays With You

The analysis is ShipSigma’s work. Cost modeling built on your shipment data establishes what your rates can be at your scale, and a guaranteed savings figure comes out of it. That work is ShipSigma’s contract engineering.

The carrier relationship stays yours. ShipSigma’s team works alongside your stakeholders through the negotiation and supplies the modeling behind the position you take. You decide what to accept, and you sign it.

How the Figure Gets Built

Your Data

You export shipping invoice data from your carrier portal, or provide it from wherever it’s managed. That data is what the analysis runs on.

The Model

ShipSigma rebuilds your shipment history against the agreement you hold now, then models what your rates can be at that scale and profile.

Your Guaranteed Figure

You get a savings figure quantified from your own data and guaranteed, before you commit to anything.

Who Does the Work, and What Happens After You Sign

ShipSigma was founded in 2018 and works on parcel and freight cost. Its team carries 250+ years of combined experience with the major shipping carriers, inside their pricing, finance and business development functions.

The work does not stop at signature. New rates get checked against the invoices that follow, so the agreement bills the way it reads, and reporting continues on a set cadence.

What the Relationship Looks Like, Quarter to Quarter

…Beyond the initial savings, they continue to find us new angles for savings, set up dashboards specific to our needs, and meet with us quarterly to go through reporting/review savings/new opportunities…

Tyler B., Vice President of Finance, Leading Global Manufacturer

What You’re Committing To

The analysis is no-cost and no-obligation. During the analysis, ShipSigma does not contact your carrier, renegotiate anything, or make any changes to your shipping operations. The analysis tells you what’s available.

You decide what to do with that information.

If ShipSigma identifies savings and you engage, the fee structure is performance-based: ShipSigma is paid from savings delivered, not from a flat retainer. ShipSigma’s savings guarantee is quantified from your own analysis.

Questions Finance Asks First

Do you negotiate with the carrier for us, or do we?

ShipSigma builds the analysis and the position behind it, then works alongside your team through the negotiation. The carrier relationship stays yours, and you decide what to accept.

Will this damage our relationship with our carrier?

No. The work is built on keeping the carrier you have and the service levels you run. Nothing in the analysis requires you to move volume or change how you ship.

What does the analysis cost?

The analysis is no-cost and no-obligation. ShipSigma is paid from savings delivered, not from a flat retainer. If nothing is found, there is no fee.

What do you need from us to produce the figure?

Shipping invoice data exported from your carrier portal, or provided from wherever it’s managed. That data is what the analysis runs on.

We renegotiated recently. Is there anything left?

The analysis compares the shipment profile you run now against the terms you hold now. A recent renegotiation changes the size of any figure the analysis finds, not whether the comparison can be run.

What exactly is guaranteed?

The savings figure produced by your own analysis. ShipSigma quantifies it from your shipment data and stands behind it, and the fee comes out of the savings delivered. If the guarantee is not met, there is no payment.
