M1 Logistics & Intelligence
Estimated annual price
$210,000
Estimated annual net benefit
$364,800
M1 pays back in about 4.4 months at the current assumptions.

M1 commercial scope

Pricing estimate

Platform + scope + intelligence
M1 model: annual platform subscription + shipments/orders + lanes/routes + carriers + RFQs + premium intelligence + integrations. This fits a logistics decision platform better than per-commodity pricing.

ROI assumptions

Freight savings + productivity
Interpretation: savings come from better carrier recommendations, RFQ competition, SPOT/TENDER mix, rate-card discipline, fuel timing, route risk avoidance and planner feedback loops.

Scope-based annual estimate
M5 model: annual subscription priced by procurement scope, expanded through API/commodity coverage, suppliers, claim volume, GxP-grade governance and integrations.

ROI assumptions

Price-claim value model
Percentage point explanation: if a supplier asks for +8.0% and M5 helps close at +7.0%, the improvement is 1.0 percentage point, not 1% of the claim.
