How We Help
Clean transportation management for companies that ship LTL across Canada and North America.
SAAF works as an extension of your team. Your company keeps carrier accounts and pays carriers directly, while SAAF provides coordination, oversight, analytics and continuous improvement through a monthly management fee.
Improve cost visibility
Separate freight costs from management costs so spending is easier to understand.
Tighten carrier performance
Review service levels, routing decisions and carrier fit using shipment-level information.
Find freight leakage
Identify accessorials, billing discrepancies and avoidable process issues before they become normal.

Your actual price is based on scope, not just shipment count.
