AUDIT DELIVERABLES
Turn Freight Data Into Executive Decisions
The MarginLane IQ audit reviews your TMS, accounting, and reporting exports to identify margin leakage, customer profitability issues, cash flow risk, and reporting gaps.
01
Customer Profitability
Identify which customers are driving volume, which are compressing margin, and where pricing or service terms may need review.
02
Lane / Load Margin
Review shipment-level and lane-level economics to spot negative-margin loads, carrier cost pressure, and underpriced freight.
03
Cash Flow Risk
Build a high-level 13-week cash view using AR, AP, payroll timing, and operating trends.
04
Executive KPI Packet
Convert fragmented reports into a simple leadership packet with findings, risks, and recommended actions.
THE PROBLEM
Most transportation companies can see revenue, load volume, and gross margin. Fewer can clearly explain which customers are actually profitable, where margin is leaking, why gross margin changed, or what cash will look like over the next 90 days.
-
Which customers are becoming less profitable?
-
Which lanes are underpriced?
-
Why did gross margin move this month?
-
What financial metrics should leadership trust?
WHY MARGINLANE?
Built for freight, not generic finance.
Freight margins are shaped by carrier costs, accessorials, fuel surcharge recovery, lane mix, customer behavior, shipment-level economics, and working capital timing. Generic dashboards show numbers. We help explain the profit story behind them.
