What is transportation spend management?

Transportation spend management is the process of analyzing, auditing, and optimizing all costs associated with shipping and logistics. It includes freight audit and payment, carrier contract negotiations, parcel audit, and business intelligence to reduce transportation costs and improve supply chain efficiency.

How does Zero Down's freight audit and payment service work?

Zero Down's automated freight audit and payment service reviews every carrier invoice for billing errors, duplicate charges, and rate discrepancies. The system provides real-time alerts, streamlines payment processing, and ensures you only pay what you contractually owe — with no upfront cost. You only pay when savings are delivered.

Does Zero Down charge upfront fees?

No. Zero Down operates on a performance-based model — you only pay when savings are delivered. If we don't save you money, you don't pay.

What shipping modes does Zero Down support?

Zero Down supports all transportation modes including parcel, LTL (less-than-truckload), truckload (TL), intermodal, and air freight across all major carriers.
