Integrated Shipping Solutions, Inc. was founded by former UPS business executives to level the playing field for shippers. ISS representatives spent years negotiating shipping contracts on the carriers' behalf and now work on behalf of shippers. ISS representatives leverage their intricate knowledge of the carrier pricing structures, as well as competition to get your company the best deal in the market today. ISS negotiates with the carriers on your company's behalf and you choose which carrier you use. Typically ISS clients remain with their current incumbent carrier, at a significantly reduced rate. Why Your Company Does Not Currently Have the Best Pricing Now Account executives employed by shipping companies are compensated on net revenue paid into the company by their customers. Their commission pay depends on every dollar you pay. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the account executive to hold back all, or as much discount as possible, to retain or win your business. Account executives rely on the common factor that you, the customer, have no frame of reference for recognizing a good shipping rate. Thus, all the negotiating power lies in the hands of the account executive. This is how ISS and the knowledge of our associates expedite the process, and level the playing field for you. ISS knows what incentives you really qualify for. Shipping companies want to keep you uninformed, because an uninformed consumer equals higher margins and more commissions for them. ISS negotiates with your best interest in mind. Carriers simply do not.
