Sigma Computing Consulting for Logistics and Freight Companies
See which lanes, carriers and customers make money without a week of spreadsheet work. We build Sigma workbooks on Snowflake that give ops and finance those answers every morning.
The short answer
Where the Hours Go Today
- Margin by lane or customer is worked out in a spreadsheet at month-end, if at all.
- Carrier on-time performance comes from a different export than billing.
- The daily ops report is rebuilt by hand each morning.
- Accessorial charges and adjustments land after the shipment and never make it back to the lane view.
Sigma Workbooks We Build
- Lane and Shipment Margin
- Revenue, carrier cost and accessorials by shipment, rolled up by lane, mode and month.
- Carrier Performance
- On-time pickup and delivery, claims and cost by carrier and lane, with drill paths to the shipments behind each rate.
- Customer Profitability
- Margin by customer after carrier costs and adjustments, so account managers see which accounts to reprice.
- Daily Operations Report
- Yesterday's volume, exceptions and late loads, refreshed every morning and sent to each team filtered to its own region or accounts.
Why Sigma Fits
- Shipment-level detail in a grid
- Queries run in Snowflake, so ops can filter and pivot large shipment tables in a spreadsheet view without extracts.
- Reports sent by region or account
- Export Bursting can email each person a PDF filtered to their own region or account on a schedule.
- Adjustments people can enter
- Input tables let teams record rate changes, disputes or notes that are stored in the warehouse and show up in the margin view.

Common questions
Is Sigma good for logistics reporting?
Sigma fits logistics teams whose shipment data is large, whose ops and finance staff work in spreadsheets, and whose data is in or moving to Snowflake.
Can Sigma show margin by lane and customer?
Yes, once shipment revenue, carrier cost and accessorials are joined in Snowflake. We set the rules for late adjustments so the lane view updates when charges arrive.
Can Sigma track carrier on-time performance?
Yes. We define on-time against the appointment or promised date your team uses, then report it by carrier, lane and customer.
How long does a Sigma build take?
It depends on your TMS and accounting systems, how much history you need and how clean the carrier data is. We scope it on a short call, starting with one report.
