Case Study: Leaf Logistics improves freight planning and reduces empty miles with HTEC Group's platform

Leaf Logistics cuts $200B in freight waste with HTEC Group

Leaf Logistics, a fast-paced startup in the logistics industry, faced the challenge of an inefficient and tech-averse B2B transportation sector plagued by volatility, price fluctuations, and the significant waste of "empty miles." Partnering with HTEC Group, Leaf sought to overcome these industry-wide inefficiencies and move from a transactional to a strategic planning mindset.

HTEC Group built a technology platform for Leaf Logistics that analyzes shipper demand streams and identifies optimal network coordination opportunities. This solution, which includes products like Leaf Flex and Leaf Adapt, allows for the execution of forward contracts, reducing empty miles and improving planning. The results included improved service levels, reduced costs, lower emissions for shippers, and predictable revenue and higher utilization for carriers. HTEC helped Leaf create a system that addresses a massive market inefficiency, estimated to waste over $200 billion annually.
