Who We Work With
PreShiftIQ™ serves any organization that moves freight and is evaluating, upgrading, or replacing transportation technology. The assessment and matching process is free — always.
Shippers
Manufacturing, Distribution, CPG, Retail—Any Organization Managing Outbound Or Inbound Freight Spend
Your situation
Technology decisions affect freight spend, carrier relationships, and operational visibility
Vendors show you their best demo — not your operational reality
Internal teams are stretched thin during implementation
SOW gaps become change orders after the contract is signed
What you get from PreShiftIQ™
Internal alignment before any vendor sees your requirements
Vendors matched to your mode mix, ERP, and carrier ecosystem
A structured evaluation framework — not just a list of names
Contract risk factors identified before you have a preferred vendor
Brokers & Logistics Service Providers
3PLs, Freight Brokers, Managed Service Providers — Organizations Whose Technology Choices Shape Client Experience
Your situation
Your technology stack is a client-facing asset — wrong fit creates operational debt you carry for years
The range of platforms that serve LSPs well is more varied than most evaluations reflect
Broker TMS logic differs fundamentally from shipper TMS logic — most advisors conflate them
What you get from PreShiftIQ™
Assessment built around broker and 3PL operational realities — not generic TMS criteria
Vendor matching that distinguishes brokerage platforms from shipper platforms
Commission structure, margin logic, and client data isolation evaluated as first-class requirements
Asset-Based Carriers
Mid-size And Large Carriers Evaluating Carrier TMS, Rate Engines, And Dispatch Technology
Your situation
Carrier TMS requirements differ fundamentally from shipper requirements — most review sites don't distinguish between them
Rate complexity, driver management, and dispatch logic are first-class requirements that generic evaluations miss
What you get from PreShiftIQ™
An assessment scoped to carrier-specific operational workflows
Vendor matching that separates carrier TMS from shipper and broker platforms
Rate engine complexity, settlement logic, and ELD integration evaluated specifically
Private Equity & Portfolio Companies

75%
of TMS implementations fail to deliver ROI targets
35%+
average cost overrun when SOW gaps surface post-signature
Your situation
Technology decisions during a hold period directly affect EBITDA and exit multiples
PortCo leadership has operational expertise — not technology procurement expertise
The vendor has done this 400 times. The PortCo team does it once every seven years
12 mo
average delay to synergy capture from failed implementations
What you get from PreShiftIQ™
Pre-implementation assessment that surfaces aptitude gaps before capital is deployed
Technical Debt Ratio scoring across PortCo technology environments
100-Day Governance Plan framework for post-acquisition technology alignment
SOW risk identification before a preferred vendor is selected
PreShiftIQ™ identifies the technology risk factors that compress EBITDA and delay exit timelines — before the contract is signed.
Start-Ups & Emerging Technology Companies
Venture-Backed And Early-Stage Companies Building Transportation Technology Products
Your situation
You need market intelligence — who is buying, what they actually need, and where the gaps are
Reaching the right buyers at the right moment in their evaluation cycle is expensive and slow
Your product may be the right answer for buyers who haven't found you yet
What you get from PreShiftIQ™
Entry into the vendor database — evaluated on actual capability, not marketing claims
Qualified buyer introductions when your profile genuinely matches a prospect's requirements
Market signal data from buyer assessments that reveals real operational pain points
