The Challenge
Wandercraft ships exoskeletons and lithium-ion battery packs—classified as dangerous goods—to hospitals and demonstration sites across Europe and the U.S. Transportation costs and freight forwarder commissions were bundled into a single, opaque line item, with no way to optimize one without affecting the other.
The Solution
Stracker's SmartBudget model breaks down every invoice into transportation costs and the Stracker service fee from the start.
- Each quote lists the carrier's rate separately from Stracker's fee, providing the finance department with an accurate cost baseline.
- The handling of dangerous goods is integrated into the standard workflow.
- For time-sensitive shipments, Stracker pre-clears dangerous goods documentation to ensure the fastest compliant routing.
The Result
-15% in one quarter: The transportation budget fell by 15% within a single quarter after switching to SmartBudget, with no change in service levels.

“On the Stracker platform, we can find all our shipping information in one place; with other freight forwarders, it always took several rounds of emails and phone calls.”
