Food & Beverage Shippers

Your freight has a shelf life. So does your routing guide.


GoodShip unifies your TMS data, carrier performance, market rates, and procurement into one platform built for temperature-controlled, appointment-driven, volatile freight, so your team can see where cost and service are actually breaking and fix it before the penalty arrives.

What We Hear From F&B Teams

Sound familiar?

The cheapest load in the network wasn't cheap

Miss the RDD at a grocery DC and the chargeback, the rework, and the lost shelf slot cost more than the rate ever saved. But cost lives in one report and service lives in another, so nobody sees the problem until the penalty shows up.

Your routing guide is quietly coming apart

Rejections push freight deeper into the guide, then out to spot. By the time it surfaces in the monthly spend review, you've been paying a recovery premium for months on lanes you thought were locked.

Carrier performance is managed after the fact 

Checking one lane against the market means exporting zip-3 data, filtering by hand, and averaging it in a spreadsheet. Procurement, operations, and finance each build their own version, and the meeting becomes an argument about whose number is right instead of what to do about it.

Platform

Continuously optimize your freight network

GoodShip helps shippers reduce costs, improve on-time service, and respond faster to network opportunities and challenges. It plugs into your existing TMS and becomes the intelligence layer on top, enriched with market rates and your own internal budget targets, and segmented the way your network is really organized.

Service & cost together
On time to the appointment isn't on time to the customer

Measure against the must-arrive-by date, not just the appointment, and separate what the carrier controls from what the receiver does.

True RDD and carrier-controllable on time
First appointment hit or miss
Cost to serve by customer and DC
Routing guide integrity
Catch routing guide leakage before it compounds

See which lanes go deep in the guide week after week, which ones land in spot repeatedly, and what that exposure is costing you.

Waterfall position and tender depth by lane
Primary tender acceptance and reject-after-accept
Quantified cost of spot exposure
Clean cost comparison
Compare linehaul to linehaul, not linehaul to lumpers

Lumper charges, multi-stop drops, and all-in spot rates make good lanes look out of market. GoodShip separates them out.

Detention, lumper, layover, TONU, redelivery
Accessorial spend by carrier and by site
All-in spot rates normalized against benchmarks
Network segmentation
Slice by equipment, facility, and customer

Reefer and dry van are distinct lanes, not one origin-destination pair. Then segment down to the site where the problem actually lives.

PROCUREMENT
Bid before capacity tightens

Run annual RFPs and quick-turn mini-bids in a fraction of the time, timed against your own seasonal surges instead of the market's.

The questions transportation teams in food and beverage ask

Can GoodShip handle refrigerated freight properly?

Yes. Reefer and dry van are treated as distinct lanes rather than collapsed into a single origin-destination pair, so rate benchmarking, carrier scorecards, and procurement all reflect the equipment the freight actually needs. From there you can segment by plant, co-packer, cold storage site, DC, business unit, division, and customer.

Can it tell the difference between a carrier being late and a receiver causing it?

Yes. GoodShip separates carrier-controllable lateness from customer- and shipper-caused lateness, and measures on-time performance against the appointment and against the must-arrive-by date, so scorecard conversations with carriers stay grounded in what they actually control.

Can our carriers see their own scorecards?

Yes, and it's free for them. Carriers log into a dedicated portal to see their current contracts, revenue to date, and where they stand on metrics like on time delivery and tender acceptance, any time, not just at the quarterly review. GoodShip manages carrier onboarding as part of implementation, so your team doesn't run a separate enablement effort.

Can we run both annual RFPs and mini-bids?

Yes. Full-network RFPs and quick-turn mini-bids run in the same workspace, with historical lane and performance data embedded so carriers can price accurately. The AI Scenario Builder lets you model awards against cost, service thresholds, and incumbency before you commit.

Do we need IT resources or a developer?

No, GoodShip is entirely plug-and-play and does not require any developer resources. Implementation typically takes about four weeks.

Does GoodShip support intermodal and LTL?

Yes. GoodShip supports LTL procurement alongside FTL and intermodal, allowing shippers to manage multiple transportation modes within the same procurement platform. That matters when shelf life makes a lane an intermodal candidate on one SKU and not another.
