Transportation spend is one of the biggest budget risks facing finance leaders today — yet most organizations lack the independent data needed to validate costs, justify decisions to the board, or anticipate variance. DAT iQ provides authoritative benchmarks and forecasts drawn from over $1 trillion in verified freight transactions, giving CFOs and finance teams the credible, auditable data they need to defend budgets, control risk, and tie procurement performance directly to financial outcomes. See how companies like Freshpet and J.M. Smucker are using DAT iQ to turn transportation from a cost center into a strategic lever.
