Is a free freight consultation really worth your time? 

Dedola’s free consultation stands apart. It’s not an introduction, it’s a freight strategy session and evaluation. In one focused session, we analyze your logistics data points and turn them into strategic insight. The result: a clear understanding of your current performance and what it would take to do better. You walk away with a clear understanding of our value as your strategic partner and how we will meet your needs and address your challenges. 

What’s the difference between a “free consultation” and a “freight strategy session”?

About 30 minutes and a world of value. A true strategy session means you walk away smarter — with a plan, not a pitch.

Key Insights 

• Most consultations qualify leads; Dedola’s qualifies opportunities. 
• The goal is education and evaluation — not conversion. 
• Every call delivers one or more actionable takeaways. 
• It’s designed for decision-makers and companies that want a true partner, not an order taker. 
• Dedola’s insights often pay for the time invested — many times over. 

Why should importers take the call seriously? 

Because ignoring it could be more expensive than taking it. 
Our consultations uncover hidden inefficiencies that quietly drain margin: demurrage penalties, misclassified entries, overlooked consolidation options. These are solvable — but only if you see them. The 30-minute call is your window into that clarity. 

What happens during the call? 

We tailor the conversation to your priorities. Depending on your operation, the agenda might include: 

• Tariff Code Review: Catching potential overpayments. 
• Demurrage and Accessorial Audit: Identifying recurring cost drivers. 
• Lane Performance Analysis: Evaluating transit reliability and carrier behavior. 
• Technology Assessment: Reviewing visibility gaps and integration options. 
• SLA or Trial Planning: Exploring a no-risk service test on one lane. 

Every discussion is designed to meet your business where it is — and take it one level higher. 

How do we ensure it’s worth your time? 

Dedola’s consultants are logistics strategists and not salespeople. Their objective is to understand your business, make an impact, and exhibit our sophistication, not to upsell. That’s why many importers who take the consultation say they’d have paid for the advice. It’s not a sales call — it’s a preview of partnership.

• A Dedola consultation is a freight performance check-up. 
• It surfaces actionable insights in cost, compliance, and reliability. 
• It’s short, structured, and specific to your business. 
• The ROI of your time investment is immediate and measurable.
