Providence Solutions
We ran this freight before we wrote software for it
Dan Lepper
Founder & CEO
Dan Lepper is the founder and CEO of Providence Solutions. He spent his career in freight operations before building software for it — shipping and warehouse management, LTL pricing, and full-cycle 3PL implementations covering both the software and the operations, order to cash. He has also consulted for freight audit companies on process refinement and rate engine evaluation, which is a large part of why Providence’s audit and rating engine work the way they do.

Who We Are
Providence Solutions is a logistics technology company built by people who ran freight operations first. We make the tools we needed and could not buy — rating, audit, carrier data and settlement — and we are a DAT RateView certified integration.
Our Mission
Deliver clarity, control, and competitive advantage to supply chain leaders through smarter technology, data-driven process improvement, and hands-on partnership.
What Sets Us Apart
- Operators before engineers. The people who designed these workflows spent careers running the freight they now write software for.
- We have argued these charges with carriers ourselves — the reclass, the reweigh, the accessorial nobody quoted. None of it is theory here.
- Lean Six Sigma practitioners, not a slide about it. The process work happens before anyone writes code.
- We have stood up 3PL programs end to end — the software and the operations, order to cash — and consulted for freight audit companies on process refinement and rate engine evaluation. We have been on your side of this.
- Small enough that you talk to the people who built it, rather than to a support tier that escalates to them.
- Everyone leading this company is named on this page, with their background public. You know exactly who you are buying from.
Core Values
- Integrity: We always do what's right for our clients.
- Transparency: Single source of truth, open processes, and clear communication.
- Continuous Improvement: Lean Six Sigma principles drive every decision.
- Real-World Solutions: Designed by operators, for operators.
