A repeatable freight cost reduction program built for your portfolio.
BlueGrace drives measurable EBITDA improvement across portfolio companies through data-driven freight optimization and sponsor-visible reporting.
Legacy systems, multiple carriers, and decentralized operations create blind spots, even in well-run companies. PE-backed companies we’ve analyzed have found 8–18% in freight savings hiding in their own shipment data, once someone had the tools to surface it.
BlueGrace combines technology, analytics, managed execution, and AI-driven optimization to create a smarter supply chain. These four pillars work together to deliver greater visibility, stronger cost control, and continuous improvement across every transportation mode.
Hard savings, fees funded by results, net cost to portco is typically zero
Tableau dashboards built for portfolio reviews, not just portco ops teams
BlueShip connects to SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and 100+ ERPs. Live in 90 days.
We run transportation. They run their business. No added headcount.
We start with one warm introduction from you – no mandate, no pressure on the portco. From there, our team runs a complimentary freight analysis and handles everything through go-live in 30 to 90 days.
You make one warm email introduction to your portco ops leadership. That’s all we need to get started.
We have a conversation with the portco team – no pitch, no pressure. They decide on their own timeline whether there’s a fit worth exploring.
We run a complimentary freight analysis using their existing shipment data. The portco keeps the findings regardless of whether they move forward.
Once they’re ready, we handle integration and implementation with no disruption to operations. Most portcos are live and generating savings within 30 to 90 days.
With one portco validated, the model repeats across your portfolio. You get a consolidated dashboard showing freight performance, cost trends, and EBITDA impact across every company that goes live.
Annualized Savings of hard freight cost reductions identified and captured within the first year of the program. This customer had mixed LTL + TL, legacy systems, multiple brokers, and no consolidated reporting.
Total bottom-line impact after accounting for program fees, delivered in the first full year of partnership.
From first conversation to fully integrated, live program - faster than any internal initiative could move.
The portco reduced its transportation headcount from three to one, redeploying team members to higher-value work.
Up from 76% before the program - a direct improvement in service performance across all carrier modes.
Achieved through carrier consolidation, lane optimization, and smarter mode selection across the network.
Truckload spend reduced through improved load planning, carrier sourcing, and data-driven procurement.
Not every portco is the right starting point. We look for companies with meaningful freight spend, multi-site operations, and a logistics setup that has room to improve – the kind of situation where our analysis surfaces real savings fast.

We’ll run a complimentary freight analysis on one portco. They keep the findings regardless of next step. All we need is 20 minutes and one warm introduction.
We evaluate your freight spend, carrier mix, and lane structure to uncover measurable cost reduction opportunities and strengthen financial control.
Our team identifies process inefficiencies, visibility gaps, and service risks that may be impacting performance across your supply chain.
Receive a clear roadmap outlining optimization strategies, procurement improvements, and technology enhancements to drive sustainable results.
We work with a lot of first-time PE logistics partnerships, so we get a lot of the same questions. Here are the ones that come up most.
You make one introduction. We handle the rest. We work directly with the portco ops team to run a freight analysis, identify savings, and if there’s a fit, implement a managed logistics program. You stay informed through board-ready reporting without having to manage the relationship day to day.
No. We never mandate. The introduction opens the door, but the portco decides whether to move forward on their own timeline. The analysis is complimentary and they keep the findings either way.
Most portcos are fully live within 30 to 90 days of agreeing to move forward. The analysis itself can be completed in a matter of weeks with minimal lift from the portco team.
Nothing. The freight analysis is complimentary and there is no obligation to move forward. If the portco does engage, program fees are funded by the savings we generate.
We work across LTL, truckload, and parcel. On the industry side, we have deep experience in CPG, manufacturing, distribution, and wholesale – the verticals that show up most often in PE portfolios.
Every portco that goes live gets weekly KPI reporting to their ops team and a quarterly board deck formatted for portfolio review. If you give us five or more portcos, we build a single consolidated dashboard showing freight performance, cost trends, and EBITDA impact across the whole portfolio.
No. We integrate with existing systems and run transportation on their behalf. The portco team does not need to change how they operate – they just get better results and one less thing to manage.
None at all. The analysis stands on its own as a value creation product. If the findings support moving forward, we make it easy to do so. If not, the portco keeps the report and we part ways on good terms.
