FREIGHT YOU CAN PLAN AROUND
Stop Paying Retail Freight Costs — Keep the Savings You Deserve, With Service You Can Bank On
Hidden margins, retail markups, and opaque pricing mean your freight costs rise quietly while accountability disappears.
FreightFixed exists to stop that.
We don’t quote freight rates. We prove what your freight should cost — then we only get paid from verified savings.
- No commissions
- No markups
- No incentives tied to higher spend
Proof first. Then execution — end-to-end. Savings You Can Verify. Service You Can Rely On.
For every FCL, LCL, and Air shipment, we benchmark your actual invoices against wholesale buy-rates matched by supplier, trade lane, and Incoterm.
If no saving is identified, there is no FreightFixed fee. When savings are confirmed:
- FreightFixed earns a fixed 25%
- You retain 75%
Example:
Previous Cost was $10,000
New Cost is $6,000
Savings is $4,000
25% is $1,000
75% is $3,000
We only earn when you save.
Beyond rates — real freight execution.
FreightFixed is backed by a vetted global partner network operating across 70+ countries. That means:
- End-to-end freight execution
- Customs and compliance support
- Carrier and routing options with clear escalation
- Real-time tracking and exception management
- One accountable partner from booking to delivery
You get cost certainty and operational confidence. Wholesale benchmarks, Fixed fees and Governed execution.
Prove the gap. Control the spend. Execute with accountability.
Pricing That Only Works When You Win. FreightFixed does not profit from freight spend.
We profit only from verified savings.
Before any fee exists:
- Your freight is benchmarked
- Savings are verified
- A baseline is established
If no saving is identified, FreightFixed earns nothing.

Why This Matters
FreightFixed fees are fixed.
They do not increase when the market tightens. They do not move with surcharges, peak season pressure, or headline noise. The only variable that can affect your freight cost is wholesale buy-rates.
These are industry-wide carrier costs — not retail markups. When wholesale rates rise or fall, they rise or fall for everyone — openly, transparently, and without manipulation.
What doesn’t change is how those costs are treated. FreightFixed does not add margin. We do not price to fear. And we do not profit from volatility.
Traditional freight models profit when costs rise.
FreightFixed only profits when they fall. That alignment is not marketing. It’s governance.
Start with proof. Then decide.
CONTROL
Control isn’t tighter rates. It’s knowing what’s happening, why it’s happening, and who owns the outcome.
MILESTONE AUTHORITY
Movement is managed — not watched Control is not tracking dots on a screen. Key milestones are actively managed from booking to delivery. If a milestone is at risk, action is taken — immediately. You’re not just informed when something goes wrong. Issues are intercepted early — before they become delays, claims, or cost blowouts.
SINGLE ACCOUNTABILITY
One owner. No gaps. Control collapses when responsibility fragments. FreightFixed is the single accountable execution partner across carriers, borders, and hand-offs - end-to-end. No finger-pointing. No operational grey areas. When something moves - or stops - ownership is clear.
DRIFT PREVENTION
No Silent Cost Creep The most dangerous freight cost is the one no one notices. FreightFixed control means continuous alignment to the baseline - shipment by shipment. Variances are identified early and corrected at the source before they repeat. Costs don’t creep. They’re governed.
SERVICES
Designed around how you ship - FCL, LCL, and Air — managed with discipline.
FREIGHT EXECUTION
FCL, LCL & Air — Executed Against Proof. FreightFixed does not sell “market rates.” We benchmark your invoices against wholesale buy-rates and execute shipments against that proven baseline — with fees only applied to verified savings. We execute freight against verified benchmarks. Every FCL, LCL, and Air shipment is booked within the cost boundaries established during Proof — matched by supplier, terms, and mode. Execution is disciplined. Speculation is removed.

BOOKING DISCIPLINE
No Movement Outside the Baseline. Bookings aren’t ad-hoc decisions. Each shipment is validated before release to confirm it aligns with the approved baseline. If it doesn’t, it’s corrected or formally approved as an exception before anything moves. No rate chasing. No last-minute substitutions. Movement occurs only when governance is met.

CARRIER & ROUTING CONTROL
Carrier & Routing Control becomes Lane Governance: every shipment is routed using pre-approved lane rules—origin/destination, mode, service level, carrier eligibility, transit targets, cutoff times, and accessorial triggers. Any deviation (carrier swap, route change, upgrade, or extra charge) requires justification and pre-approval, with a recorded audit trail.

BORDER & COMPLIANCE CONTROL
Customs Without Cost Leakage. Customs is where ungoverned freight quietly leaks margin. At FreightFixed, charges are validated. Declarations are aligned. Delays are intercepted early — before they trigger storage, demurrage/detention, penalties, or rework. Compliance is enforced to protect the baseline.
IN-FLIGHT EXCEPTION CONTROL
FreightFixed manages in-flight exceptions to protect delivery outcomes and protect members from retail-style add-ons. When an exception occurs (delay, rollover, hold, routing change, or delivery risk), we validate the facts with carrier/terminal/operator evidence and assess both timeline impact and fee exposure (e.g., detention/demurrage risk). If an intervention is needed (escalation, rebook, reroute, expedite, or delivery re-plan), we confirm the best operational option and obtain the right approvals: operational changes with no cost impact are approved by the FreightFixed Operations Lead; any change that creates a new cost requires shipper approval. Every step is recorded in the exception register with the evidence source, the decision, who approved it, and the updated milestones.
DELIVERY CONFIRMATION & CLOSURE
FreightFixed closes a shipment only when delivery is proven and charges are verified at wholesale base rates. Shippers receive the wholesaler’s base rate for the primary freight service, and if genuine third-party charges arise (detention/demurrage, storage, waiting time, re-delivery, accessorials), those are also applied at the wholesale base rate where available—never retail. Any additional fee is shared openly with the shipper, supported by evidence (POD, terminal notices, carrier invoices, time stamps, photos where relevant), and approved before acceptance. The file is then closed with a concise completion record: proof of delivery, variance status, verified charges (with evidence), and the final outcome retained as the audit trail.
ROADMAP
PROOF REVIEW (Data intake)
You provide recent freight invoices, a shipment list, and your service expectations by lane (speed, reliability, Incoterms, compliance needs). FreightFixed maps your lanes, charges, and recurring fee patterns to pinpoint where margin leaks and why it happens. You receive an initial “gap” view plus a shortlist of priority lanes where savings can be verified, not promised.
BASELINE SET (Defensible standard)
We agree the lane scope and the rules: what’s included, what triggers an extra charge, and what evidence is required to justify it. This becomes the reference standard for every shipment and every invoice line item. The output is a baseline pack that enables consistent decisions and board-defensible comparisons.
CONTROLS ACTIVATED (Pre-invoice governance)
We switch on exception interception so anything outside baseline is flagged before it becomes a cost. Approval paths are assigned so decisions have an owner and a time limit (no silent drift). The output is a working governance workflow: evidence in, approval recorded, escalation if unresolved.
GOVERNED EXECUTION (Shipments run to the rules)
Shipments are executed to the baseline: bookings aligned to approved scope, routing managed, and milestones tracked. Early warnings trigger action when risk appears (rollovers, holds, cut-offs, documentation gaps). The output is fewer surprise charges because changes are controlled in real time—with escalation ownership.
INVOICE VERIFICATION (Audit trail)
Invoices are validated against the baseline and any pre-approved exceptions, using shipment documents as evidence. Variances without proof are disputed or corrected, with a clear record of what was approved and why. The output is verified savings documentation that stands up internally—finance, procurement, and leadership.
MONTHLY GOVERNANCE (Sustainment)
We review baseline compliance, recurring variance causes, and what needs tightening (process, documentation, supplier behaviour, service level). Reporting is built for decision-making: what improved, what drifted, what actions close the loop. The output is predictable, controlled freight spend that improves over time rather than “resetting” each shipment.
FreightFixed does not profit from freight spend.
We profit only from verified savings. Before any fee exists:
- Your freight is benchmarked
- Savings are proven
- The baseline is agreed
How Fees Work
When savings are confirmed:

- You retain 75%
No markups.
No commissions.
No incentive to inflate costs.
Why This Matters
FreightFixed fees are fixed.
They do not increase when the market tightens. They do not move with fuel surcharges, peak season fear, or headline noise. The only variable that can affect your freight cost is wholesale buy-rates.
These are industry-wide carrier costs, not retail markups. When wholesale rates rise or fall, they rise or fall for everyone — openly, transparently, and without manipulation.
What doesn’t change is how those costs are treated. FreightFixed does not add margin. We do not price to fear. And we do not profit from volatility. That is the difference between retail freight pricing and freight governance.
Traditional freight models profit when costs rise.
FreightFixed only profits when they fall. Here is an example.
This is a like-for-like invoice benchmark (not a freight quote).
- Retail invoice : AUD $22,400 (FCL) EXW
- Verified buy-rate: AUD $14,000 EXW
- Verified savings: $22,400 − $14,000 = $8,400
- Success fee verified: 0.25 × $8,400 = $2,100
- You keep (75%): 0.75 × $8,400 = $6,300
- If verified savings = $0: success fee = $0
Baseline rules cover lane, incoterm, mode/service level, weight/volume, dates, and included accessorials.
That alignment is not marketing.
It’s governance.
Start with proof. Then decide.
Most freight “savings” never reach your P&L. FreightFixed makes sure they do. That margin should have been yours — until now. In traditional freight models, costs move — but accountability doesn’t. Rates change, invoices arrive, and margins quietly erode after the sale.
That isn’t volatility. It’s leakage.
FreightFixed establishes a clear cost benchmark, locks the savings opportunity upfront, and applies a fixed fee only to verified savings. That’s how savings flow back to your bottom line — not into hidden margins.
What changes:
- Transparent benchmarks: you know what freight should cost before invoices land.
- Predictable landed costs: freight stops distorting pricing, forecasting, and margin planning.
- Profit protected post-sale: savings don’t disappear after customer pricing is set.
- Clear P&L impact: outcomes are measurable, auditable, and accountable.
MEMBERSHIP
One fee model. Aligned incentives. No commissions. No retail margins. Benchmark My Freight.
HOW YOU PAY
You pay a simple subscription for access to wholesale buy-rates, governance, and execution support. Then, we only charge a success fee when verified savings are proven against your retail benchmark—if we can’t verify savings, you don’t pay the success fee.
MEMBERSHIP INCLUSIONS
Membership covers end-to-end execution across FCL, LCL and Air—booking, document control and delivery closure. We manage carriers and service providers, track milestones in real time, and intercept exceptions early to prevent delays and surprise charges. When escalation is needed, we drive it through to resolution and maintain a clear audit trail through invoice verification.
GOVERNANCE CADENCE
Governance runs monthly. We report baseline vs variance by lane, identify root causes, and close corrective actions—while clearly separating wholesale market rate movements (passed through, no margin) from true variances. You receive a short summary and a board-defensible audit pack (baselines, approvals, evidence, wholesale rate changes, and approved out-of-scope charges) for forecasting and invoice control.
TESTIMONIALS
But for most businesses, it is — because the system rewards opacity. Costs move. Rules change. Savings appear — then quietly disappear.
FreightFixed exists because we disagreed with that.
Where it started:
FreightFixed was built on 20+ years in freight cost management at Freight Cost Solutions (FCS), helping Australian importers and exporters identify inefficiencies and recover significant freight spend. One pattern was clear: savings were achievable — but rarely sustainable. Without structure and governance, freight costs drift back.
Why FreightFixed exists:
FreightFixed was created to solve that problem — not by selling “cheaper freight”, but by changing how freight behaviour is controlled.
We start with proof:
Your actual invoices are benchmarked against wholesale buy-rates. Savings are verified before any fee exists. Only then does governance apply — locking in the controls that created the saving.
What FreightFixed is:
FreightFixed is not a traditional freight forwarder. It is not a rate reseller. It is not a membership to discounted rates.
It is a commercial control framework designed to keep freight predictable — shipment by shipment. Today, FreightFixed operates across 70+ countries and 130+ offices, applying consistent commercial rules to real shipments, real lanes, and real decisions.
The Result:
It isn’t just lower cost — it’s retained margin, predictable service outcomes, and executive-grade control.
F.A.Q
What exactly does FreightFixed do?
We benchmark your actual invoices, prove what your freight should cost, and we only get paid from verified savings.
Once the gap is proven, we execute your freight through a global service network — with fixed fees, no markups, and full accountability.
This isn’t rate shopping.
It’s freight under control.
Who executes the freight?
- FCL / LCL / Air
- Customs clearance + compliance
- Carrier management + priority access
- Real-time tracking + exception handling
How do you make money?
If no savings exist, FreightFixed earns nothing.
When savings are confirmed:
- FreightFixed receives a fixed 25%
- You retain 75%
Our profit only exists when your costs fall.
Can we trial FreightFixed before committing?
We benchmark first, prove savings, and demonstrate execution capability before any long-term commitment.
You see the model work — in real freight, with real invoices — before you scale.
No theory.
No blind commitment.
Are you just focused on cheaper rates?
Governance is the solution.
Lower cost is the outcome — but the real value is predictable pricing, explainable invoices, and controlled execution on every shipment.
Cheaper freight without control is still risk.
FreightFixed delivers both.
Who is FreightFixed designed for?
- Predictable cost outcomes
- Transparent pricing logic
- Verified savings, not rate promises
- A defensible partner with clear accountability
