Built by someone who works in logistics every day
Why FreightGauge exists
Most small ecommerce businesses send thousands of parcels a year and have no real idea where the money goes. They get an invoice, pay it, and move on — because pulling it apart feels hard, and there's no obvious person to ask.
Freight cost analysis isn't complicated. But it does require knowing what to look for — and processing a lot of data consistently. FreightGauge combines AI-powered analysis with hands-on logistics expertise: the AI processes every consignment at scale, the human expertise validates findings and frames recommendations that are actually actionable.
FreightGauge exists to make that analysis accessible. A fixed-price, AI-powered health check — with clear findings and a practical action plan — delivered to business owners who have better things to do than spend a week building pivot tables.
"I wanted to build something that combined real logistics expertise with AI — so the analysis is fast, consistent, and affordable. Not a consultant quoting hourly rates. Not a carrier trying to upsell you."

What FreightGauge is — and isn't
FreightGauge is a productised service. It has a fixed scope, a fixed price, and a fixed turnaround. It's designed to be fast, independent, and useful — not comprehensive consulting.
It won't negotiate your carrier contract for you, implement a new shipping strategy, or replace your 3PL. What it will do is give you the data and direction you need to have those conversations from a position of knowledge rather than guesswork.
