Case Study: ElastoCrete reduces surprise freight fees with Unishippers

ElastoCrete - Customer Case Study

ElastoCrete, a company with growing shipping needs for its proprietary cement formula, was seeing freight costs rise unexpectedly, especially on LTL shipments. Surprise liftgate, residential, and limited access delivery fees were not budgeted for, and ElastoCrete often had to absorb those extra charges after invoices arrived. Unishippers helped ElastoCrete address these freight classification and shipping fee challenges using its shipping expertise and consultation services.

Unishippers implemented proactive monitoring to flag shipments likely to incur extra fees and helped ElastoCrete plan ahead, including finding workarounds for residential deliveries before charges were assessed. Unishippers also identified an incorrect NMFC classification on one of ElastoCrete’s most frequently shipped products and recommended a change, resulting in double-digit savings. Overall, Unishippers reduced unexpected delivery fees and delivered measurable cost savings for ElastoCrete.
