Transform four cost centers into profit centers
Advisory and proprietary technology that deliver measurable 20–25% net savings across shipping, freight, telecom, financial and supply-chain spend with no carrier changes required.
We simply show you where you're overpaying and let you decide whether it's worth fixing
Business Solutions Group isn't a broker, a reseller or a software vendor. We put your invoices, contracts and rate cards side-by-side with our cross-client benchmarks, quantify exactly where you're leaking margin, and hand you the number.
Fully independent
Independent of every carrier, bank, processor and vendor: no quotas, no product to place, no hidden incentive.
Benchmarked in dollars
Every expense is tied back to a real performance benchmark; you see where you're overpaying in specific dollars, not vague ranges.
Written Plan of Execution
Every recommendation is tied to a measurable financial outcome: expected savings, scope, timeline and accountability, on paper before we begin.
You decide
Whether you fix it, with us or without us, is your call. The free benchmark analysis is yours to keep either way.

Five disciplined steps from analysis to savings
Every engagement follows the same proven Plan of Execution, so you always know what comes next and what we're accountable for.
Discovery
We listen, gather invoices and contracts, and pinpoint the categories of spend most likely to yield savings.
Benchmark
A free, comprehensive benchmark analysis against best-in-class rates and structures, down to 1/10th of a percent.
Plan of Execution
A written PoE: expected savings, carriers/categories in scope, timeline, and what's required of your team.
Negotiate & Implement
We negotiate, implement and audit with no internal lift, no carrier changes and no operational disruption.
Measure & Retain
We measure savings, audit ongoing invoices, and recover overcharges, so the gains stick to your EBITDA.
Performance-based, aligned, and free to start
We don't sell hours and we don't ask for a check before we've earned one. The benchmark analysis is free, the Plan of Execution is written, and the engagement is paid from realized savings.
- Free, written benchmark analysis, no commitment to engage
- Performance-based fees, paid from savings we deliver, not theory
- End-to-end execution, your team's lift is minimal by design

An outsider's perspective, with insider's data
Your internal teams are talented but they're benchmarked against last year. We're benchmarked against every contract our clients sign, across thousands of carrier rate cards, telecom RFPs and merchant interchange tables.
That database is why we can see the 1–10% pricing variance buried inside a "good" contract and why we can negotiate against it with confidence.
- Cross-client benchmark database, your contract vs. the market
- Proprietary SaaS to monitor savings down to 1/10th of a percent
- Carrier-side expertise; we know how the rate cards are built
Five values that shape every engagement
From the first call to the final audit, these are the principles we hold ourselves to.
Integrity
We tell you what we'll find, what we won't, and exactly what it'll cost before you sign anything.
Professionalism
Carrier-grade preparation, board-grade reporting. Your CFO won't have to re-format anything.
Enthusiasm
We genuinely like this work. We chase the last 1/10th of a percent the same way we chase the first 10%.
Dedication to perfection
We over-audit, over-document, and over-communicate. The next quarter's surprise is the one we wouldn't accept.
Full transparency
One source of truth: the savings model. You see every assumption, every line item, every dollar.
Common questions from CFOs
Good to knowWe sign a simple NDA and set up a short discovery call, every service is different, so we'll tell you exactly what's needed. Within two to four weeks we deliver a written benchmark analysis identifying specific savings, the categories they sit in, and the negotiation levers available. There's no fee and no obligation to engage, the analysis is yours either way.
No. Across every category we serve, UPS/FedEx, freight, card & ACH payment processing, telecom, healthcare, we negotiate inside your existing relationships. The carriers, banks and processors stay the same; the pricing, structure and contract terms improve.
Almost all of our engagements are performance-based; we earn a share of the savings we deliver, paid as those savings are realized. If we don't find savings, you don't pay. Specifics are agreed in writing in the Plan of Execution before any work begins.
It varies by category. Small parcel typically lands at 15–40% (23.6% average YTD across our base). Freight negotiation averages 20–25%. Telecom expense reductions run 20–50%. Your free analysis includes a category-by-category estimate based on your own data, not industry averages.
By design, very little. We're built to require minimal internal lift, the contracts and invoices we need are documents your AP team already produces. We do the benchmark, negotiation and audit; your team approves the outcome. End-to-end execution is the norm.
Our core service area is the United States, but our freight and 3PL advisory programs cover ocean, air and rail globally for U.S.-headquartered shippers. Telecom, financial and benefits programs are U.S.-only today.
