Shipping Software for Shippers
Gain a competitive advantage with a scalable TMS shipping system.
Scalable Shipping Software
High-growth companies that ship products may face challenges such as limited supply chain visibility and rising logistics costs, which can hinder their ability to expand further. By integrating your ERP to advanced shipping software, shippers can establish a robust transportation foundation for scalability.
Shipping Software
Omni-Modal Support:
Beyond truckload or LTL, our Transportation Management System (TMS) effortlessly oversees freight operations across various modes, including air, intermodal rail, expedited services, sprinters, cargo vans, and international transport.
Proactive Claims Management:
Occasionally, damages and shipping errors occur. Our dedicated freight claim team acts promptly to initiate and settle claims with carriers, ensuring you receive timely payouts and avoiding any cash flow disruptions.
Freight Invoice Auditing:
The presence of freight bill audit checks and balances serves as a safeguard against overpayments in freight bills. We conduct thorough audits of freight invoices in comparison to quoted carrier rates, identifying and rectifying errors that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Contract Negotiation:
Through our substantial purchasing power, we utilize volume across multiple clients to negotiate improved long-term agreements with carriers. This ensures that you benefit from consistent and competitive pricing.
NMFC Lookup:
Our Transportation Management System (TMS) is equipped with an automated feature that allows it to seamlessly look up National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) codes for shippers.
