Most freight brokers track margin per load, cost per mile, and load volume—but what about the hidden metrics that quietly eat away at profitability? Check out the infographic below — Five Unexpected Insights to Boost Your Freight Profits — to find out more about the overlooked KPIs that can make or break your bottom line: ?? Cost-to-Serve – High-margin customers aren’t always profitable. Hidden operational costs can erode earnings. ?? Fall-Off Rate – Loads that fall through after booking disrupt efficiency and inflate costs. ?? Revenue Per Touch – Every carrier call, email, or negotiation impacts profit. Are you maximizing your team’s time? ?? Spot vs. Contract Load Deviation – If your contract freight keeps hitting the spot market, it's time to reassess commitments. ?? Carrier Stability Score – Unreliable carriers drive up costs and risk. Tracking performance can protect your margins. Understanding these insights can help you tighten operations, improve efficiency, and increase profits. #FreightBrokerage #ShipmentAnalytics #DataDrivenDecisions

How confident are you in your shipment data? ?? Bad data doesn’t always announce itself—it sneaks into your reports, slows down decisions, and leaves you second-guessing your numbers. If you answer YES to any of these questions, it might be time to rethink your analytics approach. #FreightTech #AI #DataQuality

One of the most common questions we hear from 3PLs is: What should we analyze for the biggest impact? ?? Our answer is always the same: It depends on your business goals. Analytics isn’t about tracking everything—it’s about tracking the right things that drive real results. When your analytics align with your business strategy, you stop chasing data and start delivering on your desired outcomes. ?? Here are some of the 3PL objectives we're hearing this year and the analytics initiatives that align with them. ?? Want to discuss specific goals?

You can’t do this in Excel. Sure, spreadsheets can get you part of the way there—but when it comes to making business decisions that impact your margin, your revenue and your delivery performance, pivot tables and manual analysis just slow you down. There's a better way! It's our newest freight analytics solution — Axiom-Apps. Here are a few things it can do for you that you can't do in spreadsheets. ? It auto-detects every lane you operate on, every customer you serve, and every carrier you use—then instantly calculates margin, volume, revenue, carrier spend, and more. ? It watches for change—so if a key customer stops shipping, a lane disappears, or volume drops, you know right away. ? It even checks your data quality and suggests fixes. Because bad data = bad decisions. Here's a quick video to show you how it works. ?? #freightanalytics #changemonitoring #dataquality #freightbrokers

"Can we ask your system questions about our freight data?" ?? This is one of the first questions we hear when we tell 3PLs that our freight analytics solutions are powered by AI. Until now, our answer has been: "No, our AI isn’t designed for that." But we listened—and we agree. It's a powerful idea. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the beta launch of Market Intelligence for Lanes. This preconfigured, preprompted AI tool leverages the same generative AI technology as ChatGPT— but tailored to unlock freight-specific data insights from reliable freight sources. Here are a few things we can do: ? See answers from our capacity & rate prompts. ? View lists of LTL & TL carriers that operate on your lanes. ? Empower your team with market-rich data. We're in beta now, but stay tuned to see how this cool new capability evolves! #AI #FreightAnalytics #3PL #GenerativeAI #Innovation
