Contract Negotiation

Our experts have seen thousands of transportation agreements in every industry.  We use this experience to determine if you are receiving competitive pricing from your carrier, taking into consideration your package characteristics, zone/weight distributions, industry, and geographic location.  As your company has likely negotiated without having a true frame of reference, it is probable that money is being left on the table.  The only way to truly optimize your small parcel contract is to utilize a resource, such as Lamprey Systems, that has been on the other side of the negotiation.  Our former carrier executives know exactly what discounts are yielded by specific volume/revenue level thresholds, package characteristics, zone/weight distributions because they have put many such agreements in place on behalf of the carriers.

Simple Process                                                                                                                                                                                                              If we determine you are not currently receiving the most competitive incentives available in the market today, we will recommend that you contract Lamprey Systems to optimize your agreements.  We will sign a confidentiality agreement with your company to ensure the security of your information and will only move forward with strategic sourcing and negotiations after your company contracts us to do so.

• Lamprey Systems compiles the data that you have provided and generates an extremely comprehensive RFP (Request For Proposal) document to submit to the participating carriers.
• Our associates guide the negotiations by providing all participants with requisites and suggestions to win/retain your business. Utilizing this strategy eliminates the need for countless, time-consuming rounds of negotiations.
• We know all the key points to present to your vendors in order to achieve the most competitive discounts available.
• We ensure and facilitate the implementation of any technology value-added carrier solutions at no cost to you, the shipper.

On-going Review
While under contract with us, your account will be monitored on a monthly basis by our experts to look for irregularities in discounts.  Have the peace of mind knowing that you are charged correctly.  If we find a discrepancy in billing, we will alert you and contact the carrier to correct the error.

Gain-Share Payment Model
There are no upfront fees to have Lamprey Systems analyze your current situation. With the gain-share payment model, you only pay us if you save money.  Your company simply pays a percentage of the realized savings, as you save, meaning that there can never be a negative impact on your cash flow or profit margins.  There is absolutely NO RISK in having Lamprey Systems analyze your current situation.
