Easy Metrics has introduced Easy Metrics Profit Management, a cloud-based SaaS solution for third-party logistics providers (3PLs) that provides real-time profitability insights by customer, process and site. Knowing each customer’s operating margin will help enable 3PLs to price competitively, negotiate pricing based on objective data, and boost operating margins by up to 3%.
Enhanced pricing transparency, supported by objective data, strengthens customer relationships for 3PLs. Since 3PL customers often value service over price, sharing operational data simplifies pricing discussions and builds trust. This transparency helps 3PLs retain key customers and attract new ones by showcasing their value.
The technology delivers daily profit analysis for a 3PL’s entire network, breaking down costs by site, customer, process, or timeframe—monthly, weekly, or daily. This level of detail allows 3PLs to pinpoint unprofitable processes or activities for precise troubleshooting and improvement. Easy Metrics Profit Management integrates with Easy Metrics ProTrack or any labor management system (LMS) that allocates time spent on a process as employees perform work. For 3PLs without an LMS, Easy Metrics offers OpsFM alongside Profit Management.
