Contract Management & Benchmarking

A carrier contract is only worth what gets enforced. Orca converts contracts, tariffs, rate cards, and accessorial schedules into structured rules, applies them to every invoice, and reports where carriers deviate and what it cost.

The same structured data supports benchmarking: how a carrier's rates and surcharges compare across lanes, modes, and the market context Orca sees across its client base.

Contract normalization

  • Rates, discounts, minimums, and tiers by lane, service, and weight break
  • Accessorial schedules, fuel surcharge tables, and caps with effective dates
  • Amendments, general rate increases, and mid-term surcharge changes tracked over time
  • Service commitments and remedies captured as auditable rules

Compliance tied to audit

Every contract rule is applied to every invoice, so compliance reporting is not a sample or an estimate. Orca shows compliance rate by carrier and term, the dollar impact of each deviation, and whether the deviation was recovered.

Benchmarking that informs negotiation

Orca benchmarks rates, accessorials, fuel treatment, and surcharge exposure by lane and mode, so procurement enters negotiations with evidence of where pricing or terms underperform rather than a general sense that freight is expensive.
