Technology, Sales & Finance consulting for 3PL operators

3PLs don't lose money on freight. They lose it on the gaps between systems.

Boreal is a consulting firm for US third-party logistics operators. We fix the technology, sales, and finance layers that quietly erode your margin.

Warehouse operations · Carrier cost recovery · Billing & reconciliation · Revenue systems

The problem

  • Your WMS and your accounting system disagree, and nobody knows which one is right.

  • You're billing from spreadsheets, so you're under-billing and you can't prove it.

  • You're quoting from gut feel instead of unit economics.

Three layers, one margin.

We work across the systems where 3PL profitability is actually decided.

Technology

Make the systems agree with each other, then agree with reality.

  • WMS integration audits
  • Carrier data pipelines
  • Internal ops tooling
  • API and EDI reliability

Sales

Price from unit economics, not from what the last customer paid.

  • Pricing architecture and rate cards
  • Unit-economics-based quoting
  • Proposal systems
  • Client onboarding flows

Finance

Bill everything you earned, recover everything you were overcharged.

  • Billing automation and reconciliation
  • Carrier invoice auditing
  • Margin analysis by client and SKU
  • Close-cycle design

How an engagement runs.

Four steps, fixed scope, and a deliberate exit. You keep the system when we leave.

  1. 01

    Diagnose

    Two weeks inside your systems, your billing runs, and your rate cards to find where the margin leaves.

  2. 02

    Quantify

    Every gap gets a dollar figure and a priority, so you decide with numbers instead of opinions.

  3. 03

    Build

    We implement the integrations, pricing models, and reconciliation workflows that close the gaps.

  4. 04

    Hand Off

    Your team gets documentation, training, and full ownership. Every engagement ends with you owning the system, not renting it.

Typical engagement targets

Targets we scope engagements against — not claims about a specific client.
