Dedicated Account Management
Get a single, dedicated logistics partner who owns your lanes end to end—proactively planning freight, solving issues before they escalate, and optimizing cost and performance on every shipment.
What is Dedicated Account Management?
Dedicated account management is a service where a dedicated logistics team learns your lanes, products, and customer requirements, then owns day-to-day execution for all your freight. They handle quoting, booking, tracking, exception management, and reporting as an extension of your internal team, so communication is streamlined through a single point of contact instead of ad-hoc emails and calls.
Shippers typically use dedicated account management when freight volume, complexity, or service risk has outgrown one-off brokerage—like managing recurring LTL, truckload, and time-sensitive shipments across multiple locations. It is especially valuable for mid-market manufacturers, distributors, and ecommerce brands that need tighter cost control, consistent service, and real-time visibility across their network.
Why Dedicated Account Management Matters for Your Supply Chain
One accountable team that knows your lanes, customers, and priorities.
Proactive monitoring and intervention before issues become service failures.
More consistent carrier performance, pricing, and capacity on key lanes.
Faster, clearer communication through a single point of contact.
Ongoing data-driven reviews to reduce cost and improve service over time.

FAQs About Dedicated Account Management
Get clear on what dedicated account management includes, how the relationship works, and what to expect from Alpha Zero as your logistics partner.
What problems does dedicated account management actually solve?
Dedicated account management gives you one owner for your freight program—eliminating scattered communication, inconsistent execution, and constant firefighting by providing a named team that plans loads, manages day-to-day details, and proactively resolves issues before they affect your customers.
How will my dedicated account manager work with our internal team?
Your account manager becomes the primary point of contact for logistics—coordinating with operations, customer service, and finance on quotes, updates, exceptions, and reporting through agreed channels and cadences.
How is dedicated account management priced?
Most programs are built into your freight rates rather than separate retainers; for highly complex or custom programs, we may structure a dedicated fee that is tied to agreed service scope and performance.
What size shippers and shipment volumes are the best fit for Alpha Zero’s dedicated account model?
We are a strong fit for mid-market shippers moving recurring LTL and truckload volumes each week, especially when there are multiple locations, key customers, or critical service requirements to protect.
Will I still have support if my dedicated account manager is unavailable?
Yes. You are assigned a core account owner plus a small support pod, so there is always someone who knows your lanes, customers, and current priorities and can step in without losing context.
How do you measure performance and make sure the account keeps improving?
We track defined KPIs such as on-time performance, cost per lane, claim rates, and response times, then review results with you regularly to identify issues, adjust carriers, and tighten processes.
