Case Study: LinkBio Corp. achieves $85,000 in projected shipping savings with Sifted Rate Simulation

Medical Device Manufacturer on Track to Save $85,000 with New Carrier Agreement

LinkBio Corp., the U.S. distribution arm of German medical device maker Waldemar Link, ships roughly 10,000 packages a year and spends over $1 million annually with parcel carriers. Faced with the complexity of renegotiating a $1M+ carrier agreement and uncertainty about how new rates would affect annual spend and delivery times, LinkBio engaged Sifted and its Sifted Logistics Intelligence platform (including LI Pro - Sifted Rate Simulation) to analyze historical shipping data and define clear negotiating targets.

Sifted integrated LinkBio’s shipping data, used its Rate Simulation to model weights, dimensions, transit days and destinations, and coached LinkBio through carrier negotiations. As a result, Sifted’s recommendations put LinkBio on track to save about $85,000 in shipping fees over the next 18 months (with upside to ~$125,000 over two years), improved service levels (more next‑day air at lower effective rates), and provided ongoing audits and dashboards to monitor performance.
