What Your Logistics Consultant VA Executes Daily

Stop spending high-margin advisory hours cleaning carrier EDI files, calculating fuel surcharges, and untangling multi-format 3PL quotation spreadsheets.

3PL & Freight RFP Bid Normalization

Turn chaotic multi-carrier pricing submissions into standardized apples-to-apples baseline comparisons across all modes and trade lanes.

  • Cleaning and harmonizing LTL, FTL, ocean container & parcel bids in Excel
  • Standardizing accessorial fee structures (liftgate, residential, detention)
  • Calculating weighted scenario models for client executive decision-makers

Freight Invoice Auditing & Overbill Triage

Recover 3% to 9% in client logistics spend by catching duplicate billings, erroneous dimensional weight spikes, and invalid accessorial fees.

  • Cross-referencing carrier EDI 210/310 invoices against agreed contract tariffs
  • Auditing fuel surcharge calculation tables (DOE national averages)
  • Logging dispute claim tickets with carriers and tracking credit memo refunds

Total Landed Cost Modeling & Incoterms

Equip your clients with clear SKU-level unit landed economics factoring in drayage, customs duties, insurance, and warehouse handling fees.

  • Looking up Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes and duty brackets
  • Modeling landed cost implications across EXW, FOB, CIF, DAP & DDP terms
  • Factoring port congestion demurrage buffers and storage exposure into models

Carrier Performance & OTIF Scorecards

Turn raw transit timestamps from project44, FourKites, or TMS systems into executive monthly vendor performance dashboards.

  • Tracking On-Time In-Full (OTIF) and DIFOT percentages by distribution lane
  • Monitoring 3PL warehouse inbound receiving and dock-to-stock turnaround times
  • Generating visual SLA breach reports for client quarterly business reviews (QBRs)

Network Design & Center-of-Gravity Data Prep

Accelerate facility location studies by pre-processing client order shipment histories, zip-code clusters, and freight volume profiles.

  • Geocoding customer delivery zip codes and calculating distance matrices
  • Cleaning historical ERP order lines to filter seasonal demand anomalies
  • Formatting inputs for Center-of-Gravity (CoG) and network simulation tools

Consulting Decks & 3PL Transition Tracking

Package complex logistics analyses into boardroom-ready presentations while keeping client 3PL cutover project plans on schedule.

  • Formatting C-suite pitch decks with clear cost-saving takeaways in PowerPoint
  • Maintaining 3PL implementation milestones and WMS cutover checklists
  • Synthesizing client stakeholder interview notes into structured gap analyses

"Running multi-million dollar 3PL RFPs used to bury my practice in messy carrier rate sheets. My SageDoer VA normalizes all freight bids across ocean, air, and drayage into clean Power Query matrices, saving me 15 hours on every client project."

Managing Partner, Meridian Supply Chain Advisory (Chicago)

"We audited 6 months of client freight invoices and recovered $78,000 in unauthorized detention fees and duplicate EDI billings. Our assistant audited line-item accessorials against contract tariffs without missing a single discrepancy."

Principal Consultant, FreightCost Optimization Partners (Atlanta)

"I used to hire freelance analysts on Upwork who didn't understand the difference between demurrage and detention, or how Incoterms affect landed cost. SageDoer gave me a dedicated assistant and a free PM who understand freight for $6/hr."

Frequently Asked Questions

Realistic answers for logistics consultants, freight auditors, and supply chain practice leaders delegating advisory operations.

Yes. Our logistics VAs understand real-world transportation pricing: baseline base-rate tariffs (e.g., SMC3 CzarLite benchmarks for LTL), discount percentages, minimum charges (MC), fuel surcharge (FSC) sliding scales based on weekly EIA/DOE diesel reports, ocean bunker adjustment factors (BAF), general rate increases (GRI), and common accessorial codes (liftgate, inside delivery, reconsignment, detention, and chassis split charges).
Every SageDoer Virtual Assistant and Project Manager signs rigorous Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). We adhere strictly to zero-trust security procedures: password delegation via encrypted password vaults (1Password, Bitwarden) so master credentials are never viewed raw, role-based project access, clean-desk environments, and watermarked client deliverables. Your clients' carrier rate cards, proprietary shipping volumes, and confidential supplier contracts remain 100% secure.
Yes, 100%. You pay strictly for the actual working hours logged by your Logistics Virtual Assistant ($6/hr for full-time or $7/hr for part-time). The dedicated Project Manager's daily quality checks, onboarding guidance, and operational oversight are provided completely complimentary with 0% platform markups.
Yes. Our logistics assistants are proficient across dedicated TMS, WMS, and ERP portals. They know how to extract shipment line-item exports, pull lane history reports, verify tender acceptance rates, track milestone statuses via visibility portals (project44, FourKites), and update master inventory or carrier routing guides inside client software systems.
Yes. Logistics consulting naturally surges during annual contract RFP windows (Q4 and Q1), carrier contract renegotiations, or 3PL warehouse transition cutovers, and balances out during steady-state auditing periods. You can begin on Part-Time (20 hrs/week) for recurring audit monitoring, scale up to Full-Time (40 hrs/week) during heavy client RFP modeling sprints, or adjust hours smoothly with your dedicated Project Manager with zero lock-in contracts.
