The Challenge

Shipping costs were eating into profitability.

As 360 Electrical scaled, shipping costs became a primary drag on profitability. Despite strong revenue growth and operational discipline, the brand lacked the carrier-market intelligence and negotiation leverage needed to ensure they weren't overpaying — which, it turned out, they were.

Opaque pricing

Carrier rate structures were complex and non-transparent, making it nearly impossible to identify where overspend was occurring.

Missed refunds

Service failures, late deliveries, and billing errors went unaudited — leaving significant money on the table with every invoice cycle.

Lack of data

Without industry benchmarking data, the team had no way to know if their rates were competitive or how much room existed for improvement.

The Solution

A data-driven approach to carrier cost recovery.

Margin Pro deployed a full-spectrum audit and negotiation engagement, requiring zero operational change from the 360 Electrical team.

Deep audit

Line-by-line invoice analysis across all carrier agreements to uncover hidden surcharges, misclassifications, and billing errors.

Benchmarking

Rates compared against proprietary benchmarks from thousands of shipper profiles to quantify exactly how much margin was being left behind.

Expert negotiation

Former carrier-side pricing analysts led direct negotiations, securing improved terms without switching providers or disrupting logistics.

Margin recovery does not require operational change.

The entire engagement ran parallel to our existing logistics workflow. We didn't change carriers, reroute shipments, or touch a single SLA. Margin Pro's team handled everything on the negotiation side — and the savings showed up in our very next billing cycle. It was the highest-ROI initiative we ran that quarter, and it required zero hours from our team.
