For executives
Do You Know What You Actually Spend on Freight?
Most companies know their total freight spend. They cannot tell you the cost per unit shipped by lane, by mode, or by customer. That gap is where money disappears. Warp gives you structured freight data on every shipment, automatically.
20,000+ carriers · 9,000+ box trucks and cargo vans · 50+ cross dock facilities
The question your CFO is asking
"Why did freight costs go up 12% this quarter?"
The answer from most transportation teams is "market conditions." That is not an answer. That is a lack of data.
Your company knows total freight spend. It appears as a line item on the P&L. But when someone asks what it costs to ship a pallet from Dallas to Atlanta, or which carrier delivers on time most often, or whether LTL or box truck is cheaper on your top 20 lanes, the answer is usually silence. Or a spreadsheet someone built manually last quarter that is already out of date.
You cannot optimize what you cannot measure. Your transportation team is making decisions based on broker relationships and instinct, not data. That worked when freight was 5% of revenue. It does not work when freight is 8% to 12% and the board is asking for margin improvement.
Where decisions break down
Without lane level visibility, your team cannot answer basic questions.
Rate decisions
Which lanes are overpriced?
Your team is paying whatever the broker quotes because they have no benchmark. They cannot compare this quarter to last quarter on the same lane. They cannot compare LTL to box truck on the same route. Every shipment is a standalone transaction with no historical context.
Mode decisions
Are you using the right vehicle?
A 6 pallet shipment might cost $900 by LTL through a terminal network, $750 by LTL through a cross dock, or $680 by dedicated box truck. Without data on all three options for every lane, your team defaults to whatever they used last time.
Carrier decisions
Which carriers actually perform?
Your team has opinions about carriers. They do not have data. On time percentage by lane, damage rates, average transit time versus quoted transit time. This data exists inside every shipment. It is just not being captured or organized.
What good looks like
Every shipment logged with origin, destination, mode, rate, transit time, carrier, and delivery confirmation. Queryable by lane, customer, product line, or time period. Cost per pallet by lane trending over time. Carrier performance rankings by on time rate and damage rate.
This is not a BI project. This is not a 6 month data warehouse initiative. This is what happens automatically when your freight moves through a system designed to capture structured data on every shipment.
How Warp provides this automatically
Every shipment booked through Warp generates structured data. Rates, transit times, carrier assignments, scan events from the Warp driver app, and delivery confirmations. All of it flows into a dashboard you can access immediately.
Our AI backbone, Orbit, monitors every shipment across 20,000+ local 3rd party carriers and 50+ cross dock facilities. The Warp driver app captures scan events, live GPS, proof of delivery, and e signatures on every shipment. This is not a reporting layer on top of messy data. This is clean, structured data generated at the point of execution.
For teams that want the data in their own systems, Warp pushes structured shipment data automatically. Rates, events, delivery confirmations. All accessible through a dashboard or sent directly to your TMS via automated feeds.
The executive takeaway
Freight spend visibility is not a technology initiative. It is a prerequisite for running a modern supply chain. Without it, every freight decision is a guess. With it, your team can show the CFO exactly where costs increased, why, and what they are doing about it.
Ask your transportation team: can you show me our cost per pallet by lane for the last 90 days? If they cannot, you do not have freight spend visibility. And you are making freight decisions without the data you need.
Frequently asked questions
What data does Warp capture on every shipment?
Every shipment booked through Warp generates structured data including origin, destination, mode, carrier, rate, transit time, scan events, and delivery confirmation. This data is available through your dashboard and can be pushed automatically to your systems.
Can I see cost per pallet by lane?
Yes. Because every shipment includes item details, rate, and lane information, you can query cost per pallet, cost per pound, or cost per unit by any lane, time period, or customer. Trends over 30, 60, and 90 days are available automatically.
How does this compare to the reports my broker sends?
Broker reports show you what the broker wants you to see. They do not show you carrier level performance, rate trends by lane, or how your spend compares across modes. Warp gives you the raw data. You see exactly what you paid, which carrier moved it, and how long it took.
Do I need to change my systems to get this data?
No. Warp provides a dashboard for immediate access. For teams that want the data in their own systems, Warp can push structured shipment data automatically. Most companies start with the dashboard and add automated data feeds as they scale.
What does freight spend visibility actually save?
Companies that gain visibility into lane level freight costs typically find 10% to 20% in savings by identifying overpriced lanes, switching to better modes, and consolidating shipments. The savings come from data, not negotiation. When you can see that a lane costs $450 by LTL and $380 by box truck, the decision makes itself.
