Take control of every dollar in your small parcel provider contracts
Most freight audit providers start with the invoice. nVision Global starts with your provider contracts, where we analyze the terms, validate rates, and reveal savings opportunities hidden in your freight spend.
Your parcel contracts are costing you more than you think
Your parcel contracts are costing you more than you think
Surcharges creep up while nobody's watching.
Accessorials, fuel surcharges, residential fees, dim weight adjustments. Transportation providers shift them quarterly. Most shippers absorb 5 to 15% in silent cost creep before anyone in finance notices.
Rates that didn't keep up with the market.
2026 brought a 5.9% UPS and FedEx GRI, the third consecutive year at that level. If you negotiated 12+ months ago, you're paying yesterday's rates in today's market.
The savings hide where nobody looks.
A typical parcel contract has hundreds of negotiable terms. Most shippers only fight base rates. The real savings live in everything else.
Here’s where the savings actually hide in your parcel contracts
Here’s where the savings actually hide in your parcel contracts
Discount tiers & minimum commitments
Are you committed to volumes you can't hit? Are your tiered discounts triggering at the right thresholds? We model your actual volume curve against your contracted tiers to find the gaps.
Accessorial structures
Residential delivery, address correction, additional handling, signature required. These "small" fees compound. We map every accessorial against your actual shipment profile, then renegotiate the categories costing you the most.
Dim weight factors & divisor settings
A small shift in your dim divisor can swing 5 to 10% of your annual spend. Most shippers never see this lever, because the math is buried in the contract appendix.
Surcharge formulas (fuel, peak, demand)
The formulas behind fuel, peak, and demand pricing are negotiable. Most shippers don't realize they can be capped, indexed differently, or restructured around their seasonality.
Refund rights & service guarantees
Money-back guarantees, claim windows, on-time delivery commitments. Transportation Providers quietly shrink these year over year. We document what's owed and protect what's yours.
Auto-renewal & exit clauses
How long until your contract auto-renews? What's the notice window? These terms decide whether you walk into renewal with leverage, or none at all.

We start at the contract, not the invoice
We start at the contract, not the invoice
Most parcel audit companies catch errors after the invoice arrives. We govern your parcel cost across the entire lifecycle: contract pricing, audit, payment, analytics. Savings start before the first shipment moves.
Customers stay, because the savings stick
Customers stay, because the savings stick
In a category where vendor relationships average 3 to 5 years, half our customers have been with us a decade or more. The savings don’t fade. The relationship doesn’t either.
