Transport & Logistics intelligence provider TetriXX AI has partnered with LSCMS, the apex professional body for Supply Chain in Asia, to launch the Freya Cost Pressure Index (FCPI) — a forward-looking barometer tracking where costs are building, before they reach your invoice.
The FCPI measures how much the inputs to your freight costs (fuel, capacity, surcharges, currency) have moved since January 2026. Not all of your freight bill moves with these inputs — only the variable portion (BAF, FSC, GRI, CAF, war risk), typically 30–52% depending on your modal mix. The rest is your contractually fixed base rate.
FCPI 134 does not mean your freight bill is +34%. Your base rate is contractually fixed. Only the variable surcharges move with market inputs.
The FCPI uses industry-benchmarked transmission coefficients to translate input pressure into the dollar impact on the variable portion of your spend.
The FCPI measures where pressure is building: in fuel markets, at geopolitical chokepoints, in carrier capacity decisions, and in currency movements.
It gives you a 1 to 12 month forward window before the pressure reaches your invoice. Your modal mix (ocean/air/road) determines your exposure: ocean-heavy portfolios face 39–52% variable cost, road-heavy 30–38%.
Published every Friday — with unscheduled updates triggered by a confirmed improvement or deterioration of ≥5% in any monitored lane.
Fuel markets (Brent, VLSFO, jet fuel, IATA/Platts), geopolitical chokepoints (Hormuz, Suez, Malacca), carrier capacity, and currency — via 14 live APIs across 50+ sources. Zero client data used.
Auditable to sourceWeighted composite per trade lane and modality. The asymmetry law is mechanically embedded: carriers pass through increases faster than decreases. Your exposure is not symmetric — the FCPI reflects that.
Asymmetry-correctedThree scenario paths per trade lane: Base, Escalation, De-escalation. Calibrated against 5 historical crises: COVID, Red Sea, Hormuz, Ukraine, Ever Given. All readings versioned and auditable.
Confidence-labeledEvery edition is structured around five decision-ready sections. Tier tags show what is available at each subscription level.
Global trade lane pressure visualised by modality and chokepoint exposure. All 10 lanes shown.
Free: 3 baseline. Pro: 15 total. Pro+: 15+ with carrier-specific levers.
Enter annual freight spend and lane allocation. Outputs peak cost month, full-year exposure, and the M1/M2/M3 lag curve.
12-month forward projection. "The Wave" shows where money hides between market pressure and your invoice.
Carrier-specific levers, routing alternatives, modal shift options and contract repricing triggers.
Set thresholds on any lane or signal. Receive alerts when the FCPI breaches a confidence band.
