FIND THE MARGIN LEAKS HIDING IN YOUR FREIGHT SPEND
Most freight spend leakage comes from issues shippers cannot easily see. Billing discrepancies, stale routing decisions, hidden accessorials, and poor shipment visibility quietly erode margins over time. MySpot helps transportation teams identify where freight dollars are actually going before waste compounds across the operation.
CONNECT FREIGHT SPEND DATA ACROSS YOUR OPERATION
MySpot centralizes shipment activity, routing decisions, carrier costs, invoice data, and transportation reporting into one connected platform so teams can identify hidden costs, reduce operational waste, and improve freight spend visibility without relying on disconnected spreadsheets and manual reporting workflows.


BENEFITS OF MYSPOT
Built for shippers that need better visibility into freight costs, routing waste, and transportation performance.
Freight Accruals Visibility
Stop finding out what freight cost you after the invoices clear. MySpot shows you what you owe in real time.
- Real-time accrual tracking surfaces unbilled costs before they reach finance.
- Automated invoice auditing flags billing discrepancies, duplicate charges, and unapproved accessorials.
- Shippers typically recover 2 to 5% of freight spend through freight audit in year one.
- ERP integration eliminates manual financial data entry and reduces month-end close time by up to 60%.
Customized Reporting
Freight spend reports built around how your team actually measures cost, waste, and carrier performance.
- Over 50 available data fields for building spend reports tailored to your operation.
- Track freight costs by lane, mode, carrier, facility, or any combination your team needs.
- Automate report scheduling so cost and performance data reaches the right stakeholders automatically.
- Executive dashboards and drill-down cost analysis in the same platform.
Dynamic Routing Guides
Stale routing guides are a direct source of margin leakage. MySpot keeps your rates current.
- Contracted carrier rates stored with effective and expiration dates so you always route on active pricing.
- Compare truckload, LTL, and intermodal costs side by side before committing to a carrier.
- Real-time pricing visibility helps reduce transportation costs by up to 10 to 15 percent.
- Route on data instead of habit and recover freight spend lost to outdated rate assumptions.
Spot Market Visibility
Know when your contracted rates are no longer competitive. Spot market benchmarking tells you.
- Place any shipment on the spot market to benchmark contracted rates against current options.
- Identify lanes where contracts are priced above market and renegotiate with data to back it up.
- Access competitive bidding for spot coverage without leaving MySpot.
- Spot market activity captured in reporting for complete freight spend analysis.
Track and Trace
Detention, missed pickups, and service failures all cost money. Visibility helps you catch them faster.
- GPS tracking updates every 15 minutes across all active loads.
- Proactive exception alerts surface delays and disruptions before they generate accessorial charges.
- Predictive delay alerts give teams up to 48 hours of advance notice to respond before costs escalate.
- Carrier performance data builds over time so you have evidence when performance drives cost.
LTL Load Execution
LTL freight is a common source of billing errors. Automated execution and auditing reduces that exposure.
- Real-time LTL rates from national and regional carriers in one place.
- Automated BOL generation and electronic signature capture on every shipment.
- LTL invoice auditing catches discrepancies before you pay them.
- LTL processing time reduced by 75 percent with paperless documentation.
Operational Visibility
Freight spend leakage hides in the gaps between systems. MySpot closes those gaps.
- Shipment activity, routing decisions, carrier costs, and invoice data in one connected platform.
- Customizable column views surface the spend data most relevant to each stakeholder.
- Eliminates manual reconciliation across emails, spreadsheets, and disconnected carrier portals.
- Single source of freight cost data for finance and operations teams.
Workflow Automation
Manual freight processes are not just slow — they create the gaps where billing errors and cost overruns hide.
- Automated invoice auditing flags discrepancies without requiring manual review of every line.
- Exception escalation routes cost-related alerts to the right team member automatically.
- Automated journal entries and GL coding reduce the manual accounting work tied to freight spend.
- Teams typically see a 25 to 30 percent reduction in manual processes after implementation.
Carrier Connectivity
Carrier performance and cost data in one place so you can hold carriers accountable with numbers.
- Carrier performance scorecards track on-time rates, billing accuracy, and service reliability over time.
- Tendering and performance history captured and reportable by carrier.
- Role-based access keeps team members focused on the carriers and lanes relevant to their work.
- Carrier communication centralized so there is a record when disputes arise.
Seamless Integrations
MySpot connects to your ERP and financial systems so freight spend data flows where it needs to go.
- Native ERP integration keeps accruals and freight costs current in your financial systems.
- Connects to BI tools including Power BI and Tableau via automated data feeds.
- Eliminates manual data uploads and spreadsheet-based cost reconciliation.
- Custom integrations available for proprietary financial or operations systems.
