Midwest Distributor — $412,000 Saved in First 12 Months
Less than a year ago, this regional distributor was struggling with rising parcel costs, opaque surcharge application, and limited visibility into invoice errors. After partnering with Seekr Parcel, we performed a full UPS and FedEx audit, re-negotiated their contract architecture, and implemented our automated refund recovery system.
$412,000 in Annual Savings
By restructuring their surcharge discount profile, we helped the distributor reduce base rates, lower minimum charges, and eliminate recurring cost leaks that had been hiding in their invoices for years.
Automated Refunds Recaptured
Our weekly audit engine identified hundreds of late deliveries and erroneous surcharges — resulting in $47,850 in verified credits in just the first 12 months.
Key Strategies Deployed
- Contract discount enhancements & surcharge reductions
- Weekly automated audit and refund capture
- Dimensional (DIM) weight optimization
- Minimum charge restructuring & rebate enhancements
