Good question for ROI justification. We analyzed the savings breakdown: roughly 12% came from automated optimal carrier selection (we were previously defaulting to preferred carriers without cost comparison), and 6% from accurately applying complex contract terms that were being missed in manual rating. The custom extension also eliminated about 30 hours per week of manual rate verification by our logistics team, which justified the development investment within 5 months.
