Case Study: a mid-market industrial manufacturer achieves $1.4M in parcel savings with Loop

a mid-market industrial manufacturer uncovers $1.4M in parcel savings with Loop

The customer, a mid-market industrial manufacturer, was facing a significant challenge with its parcel shipping contracts. After a period of substantial growth, its carrier agreements were outdated and misaligned with its current shipping profile, which was dominated by heavier B2B shipments. This mismatch, particularly in weight break and minimum charge structures, was causing costs to rise steadily. The internal logistics team lacked the bandwidth, tools, and market data needed to analyze the contracts and build a case for renegotiation with carriers.

Loop implemented its AI-powered contract intelligence platform to analyze the manufacturer's agreements against three years of shipment data. This solution identified specific areas of excess cost and provided data-backed negotiation targets. As a result, Loop uncovered an annual savings opportunity of $1.4 million, representing an 11.6% effective rate improvement. The manufacturer achieved a return on investment within just eight weeks and gained a permanent advantage with ongoing contract monitoring from Loop.
