Case Study: Sysco’s International Food Group achieves instant freight-rate control and faster carrier negotiations with Freightos

How Sysco’s International Food Group (IFG) got instant access and easy control of freight rates, and improved carrier negotiations

Sysco’s International Food Group (IFG), a Fortune 100, $44B division that moves tens of thousands of tons of product daily from 90+ countries to hospitals, schools and major restaurants, needed faster, more accurate freight pricing to support sales, sourcing and carrier negotiations. Previously logistics and accounting were bottlenecks—manually compiling rates slowed sales, increased errors and drained resources, limiting visibility into market trends and route profitability.

Implementing Freightos gave sales teams instant door-to-door international freight rates and real-time market comparisons, reducing the freight-rating process by about 10% and errors by about 5%, and freeing logistics and accounting to focus on exceptions and strategy. The result: faster sales cycles, stronger carrier negotiations backed by reliable data, improved spot-quote benchmarking, and projected savings of millions per year alongside higher returns to shareholders.
