Calculate cost savings on UPS® and FedEx® agreements
Pro tip
After scouring contracts looking for areas to increase savings, EPISCS turns those insights into action.
After EPISCS negotiates the carrier agreement and it’s agreed upon by the carrier, customers will begin to experience freight cost savings from EPISCS’s FedEx® and UPS® contract negotiations. Cost savings are determined by comparing the net shipping costs under the new carrier contract to what the net shipping costs would have been under the former carrier contract.
