The freight data problem costs enterprises millions. we've spent 70 years learning how to solve it.

ConData was founded in the 1950s when two truck drivers noticed they were being overcharged. That instinct — look closer, find what others miss — still drives everything we do. Today, we unify fragmented freight and parcel data across carriers, modes, regions, and systems to give logistics, finance, and procurement leaders the accuracy and visibility they need. We call it Transportation Spend Optimization.

How we are different

Independent assurance layer

We don't replace your TMS or FAP — we work alongside them. ConData sits on top of your existing stack, providing the deep audit, unified visibility, and strategic analytics that execution-focused systems weren't built to deliver.

70 years of rate card intelligence

We've seen every error type, every carrier tactic, every contract loophole. Our auditors have decades of experience — and our systems encode that knowledge into automated engines that know exactly where to look.

All modes, all regions, unified

LTL, truckload, ocean, rail, air, parcel — we audit all six. No handoffs between specialists, no fragmented views. One aggregated data layer for your entire transportation spend.

Our story

In the 1950s, two truck drivers started auditing freight bills by hand — and realized carriers were overcharging at alarming rates. That simple insight became Continental Freight Data Systems, and eventually, ConData.

Seventy years later, we've evolved from paper audits to sophisticated algorithms — but our core purpose remains the same: reveal the errors, patterns, and opportunities that others miss.
