The Cold Chain Cost Problem

Your Cold Chain Costs Are Higher Than They Should Be

The cold chain logistics industry is riddled with overcharges, billing errors, and missed refund opportunities. Most shippers never know what they're losing.

Runaway Freight Costs

Runaway Freight Costs

Cold chain carrier rates rise 5–12% annually, while hidden surcharges — fuel adjustments, residential fees, and peak season premiums — silently inflate your bills by 20–30%.

Avg. 27% overbilling discovered per audit
Compliance Complexity

Compliance Complexity

Temperature-controlled freight involves FDA, FSMA, and HACCP compliance requirements that vary by lane and carrier. Mismanagement leads to penalties, rejected loads, and costly re-routes.

Carrier Unreliability

Carrier Unreliability

Late deliveries in cold chain can mean spoiled product and massive losses. Carriers owe you refunds for service failures — but almost never volunteer them. That money is yours to reclaim.

95% of eligible refunds go unclaimed

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions? We Have Answers.

Everything you need to know about how Cold Chain Savings works — and how we put money back in your budget.

We operate on a 100% performance-based model. We charge a percentage of the actual savings and refunds we recover on your behalf. There are no upfront fees, no monthly retainers, and no setup costs. If we don't find savings, you pay nothing. It's that simple — and it aligns our incentives completely with yours.

Absolutely not. Cold Chain Savings works with your existing carrier relationships — whether you ship with national carriers like FedEx or UPS, or regional refrigerated freight specialists. We optimize what you already have. We never require you to switch carriers, and we'll never recommend doing so unless it would genuinely benefit you and you choose to explore it.

We work with businesses across the full cold chain spectrum: pharmaceutical and biotech companies shipping temperature-sensitive medications and clinical samples, food and beverage distributors, meal kit delivery services, specialty grocery brands, floral shippers, specialty chemical companies, and more. If you ship products requiring refrigeration or freezing, we can almost certainly help you save.

Onboarding typically takes 1–2 business days. Once we have secure read-only access to your carrier accounts, our initial audit is completed in 5–7 business days. Most clients see their first recovered refunds credited within 30 days of engagement. Ongoing monitoring and contract optimization continue from there on a rolling basis.

Data security is a top priority. We are SOC 2 Type II certified, which means our data handling, storage, and access controls have been independently audited to the highest enterprise standards. We use read-only API connections to carrier portals — we never have the ability to make changes to your account or alter shipments. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit using AES-256 and TLS 1.3.
