Shiplify Launches Accessorial ROI Calculator to Enhance Freight Billing Transparency

Shiplify has introduced an innovative Accessorial ROI Calculator designed to transform the freight invoicing process for shippers, carriers, and third-party logistics (3PL) providers. This tool provides upfront visibility into potential savings and billing clarity before shipments are moved, addressing the longstanding issue of reactive freight invoicing that often leads to disputes and eroded trust among supply chain partners.

According to North Winship, President of Shiplify, the calculator is a step towards eliminating surprise charges that have historically damaged profitability and relationships within the supply chain. By offering instant insights into how accessorials like residential delivery and liftgate use impact shipping costs, the calculator enables users to make informed decisions. It leverages Shiplify's proprietary data and proven benchmarks to deliver accurate estimates of accessorial savings, fostering a more collaborative and accountable environment among freight stakeholders.

The introduction of the ROI Calculator comes at a critical time when accessorials are increasingly undermining margins and sparking disputes, as highlighted by recent research from Bart De Muynck Strategic Advice. The study underscores the importance of location visibility in proactively managing accessorial billing to avoid financial surprises and maintain customer trust. Shiplify's tool directly addresses these challenges by providing the necessary transparency and strategic planning capabilities in less-than-truckload (LTL) freight management.
