Carrier negotiations that start with the facts
Meet Ellis AI
Rate intelligence, not rate-card guesswork
Ellis AI compares your rates, surcharges and discounts with peers by zone, weight and service, so you know where you overpay and by how much.
Expert negotiators, armed with your own data
Our negotiators build the strategy and join carrier talks if you want them, or hand your team export-ready reports to lead the conversation.
Savings that go beyond the negotiation
Our Parcel Audit module checks every invoice against your contract, catching service failures and billing errors to recover refunds you’re owed.

lower annual carrier spend after renegotiating shipping contracts.
