Cost variance explained by drivers
One View
Cost and performance measured together
Capabilities
Where freight costs meet performance accountability.
Understand what you're paying, what you're getting in return, and where cost outcomes diverge from plan.
Cost Baseline
Bring together rates, execution outcomes, and charges to create a complete, all-in cost baseline that every team can trust.
- Consolidate base rates, surcharges, accessorials, and execution-related costs
- Normalize costs across carriers, services, lanes, and time periods
- Create a shared cost baseline that everything else is measured against
Cost Drivers
Break cost variance into clear drivers so teams can explain outcomes confidently and focus on what actually moved the number.
- Attribute cost variance to rate, execution, service, and accessorial drivers
- Separate market-driven changes from execution- and service-related impacts
- Explain cost differences at the carrier, lane, and shipment level
Performance Scorecards
Measure what you're paying against how freight actually performed, making tradeoffs between cost, service, and reliability explicit.
- Compare cost, transit time, reliability, and service outcomes together
- Build consistent performance scorecards by carrier, service, and lane
- Identify where higher cost delivered better outcomes — and where it didn't
Cost Governance
Use cost and performance intelligence to guide planning, accountability, and commercial conversations without relying on hindsight.
- Feed cost and performance insights back into future planning and budgeting
- Support carrier reviews and allocation decisions with objective data
- Reduce repeat variance by aligning expectations with actual outcomes
Who Cost Management Helps
Built for supply chain leaders and ocean teams.
NYSHEX adapts to how different teams understand, explain, and manage freight costs without adding complexity.
Clear accountability for freight cost outcomes.
Understand what you're spending, what you're getting in return, and where cost outcomes are drifting from expectations. Compare cost, service, and reliability together to manage tradeoffs, align teams, and confidently explain freight cost performance amid volatility.
Explainable freight costs and confident variance analysis.
Break freight cost variance into clear, defensible drivers across rates, execution, and service. Close the books with confidence, reduce time spent reconciling discrepancies, and support budgeting and forecasting with a transparent view of what actually drove cost outcomes.
Understand how execution decisions impact costs.
Monitor how day-to-day execution outcomes translate into real cost impact. Identify where service issues, delays, or changes are driving higher costs, and use that insight to improve execution decisions without slowing teams down.
Measure value for cost across carriers and services.
Evaluate carriers and services based on the cost, service, and reliability they actually deliver. Use performance scorecards to understand where you're getting value for spend (and where you're not) so future allocation and award decisions reflect outcomes, not just rates.
