Your supply chain runs on decisions made without the right data


Things go wrong every day: freight delays, supplier slippage, port congestion. The businesses that handle disruption best aren't the ones with the fewest problems. They're the ones who see them coming. Every year your business commits millions to carrier contracts and routes.

Everyone knows these decisions should be data-driven. Most are still made on incomplete information - or the carrier's own numbers.

D&D MONITOR

Eliminate D&D charges

D&D charges arrive are impossible to verify are almost always accepted by default. Beacon monitors every container against its free time allowance and flags exposure before charges accrue. Most customers recover the cost of Beacon in their first quarter.

Invoice Verification

Stop approving freight invoices you can't verify

Freight invoices pile up faster than anyone can review them, often weeks late, against contracts nobody on the AP team has read. The default is to pay the invoice and move on. Beacon eliminates erroneous payments, by automatically checking every line item against the contract and what actually shipped.

Live Boards

Everyone working from
the same page

Contract Intelligence

Stop negotiating freight contracts without any independent insight

Your carriers walk into every negotiation knowing exactly how you've used your lanes, your free time, your volume commitments. You've been negotiating blind. Beacon gives you the same picture they have — so you know what to ask for before you walk in the room.

Network performance

Plan vs Actual.
That is accurate.
Finally.

Most businesses track freight spend and volumes in a spreadsheet that's already out of date. Plan vs actual lives in a weekly update nobody fully trusts. Beacon replaces that with a live view of freight costs, volumes and performance – so you know whether spend is tracking to budget, and whether the operation is running to plan. The answers your leadership meeting needs, before anyone has to ask.
