Core Principles
Three core principles guide the development of all Breakthrough products and services.
01
Achieve Transparency
Once shippers arm themselves with data that is clean and accurate, they can fully understand their unique transportation networks. This transparency enables fact-based dialogue within their teams and with their strategic partners.
02
Remove Distortion
Better decision-making requires shared data clarity. Clean and accurate data associated with real freight movements eliminates distortion in the way shippers manage fuel and freight and bring their true network realities to light.
03
Establish Fairness
When professional partnerships are founded on fairness, all stakeholders can feel confident in their operational relationships, enabling true collaboration.
