01
You're stuck mid-tier
Big enough to think you've negotiated, too small for the real volume-tier discounts. The gap costs your margin on every shipment.
Industries · 3PL
Win more bids on better rates.
3PLs live and die on the spread between negotiated and billed carrier rates. We pool your volume into our GPO contract, get you tier-1 pricing your bid sheet can quote against, and audit every invoice your carriers send you.
Where the money leaks
Three problems we see in every 3pl audit.
02
Multi-client billing is brutal
Each client wants their own rate breakdown, audit, surcharges accounted for. Doing it manually eats analyst hours.
03
Carriers don't compete for your business
Your reps know they're the only relationship you have. Switching is operationally painful, so nothing moves.
Our playbook
Four levers, specifically for 3pl.
01
GPO consolidated rates
Pool your shipping into our group purchasing program. Tier-1 carrier rates without tier-1 volume.
02
Per-client cost allocation
Kadix splits every audit and refund by client so your billing team has clean P&L attribution.
03
Carrier benchmarking
We benchmark your contracts against other 3PLs quarterly. When carriers raise rates at renewal, you walk in with data.
04
Lane-specific freight rates
For LTL/FTL volume, we negotiate per-lane rates separately from parcel. Two contracts, both optimized.
Best fit if you are
- ✓3PLs with $50K+/month parcel spend
- ✓Multi-warehouse operators with split carrier accounts
- ✓3PLs growing into freight (LTL/FTL)
- ✓Companies bidding on enterprise fulfillment contracts
Probably not for you if
Very early-stage 3PLs running a single warehouse on retail carrier rates — get to $20K+/mo first.
