Freight Management
Freight Management is a broad term, and differs in meaning to those it impacts: Executives, Management, Employees, Customers, and Vendors. It encompasses managing small parcel, less-than-truckload, truckload, rail, ocean, etc. Larger shippers will employ logistics professionals, or even construct freight councils internally, while for smaller shippers, it often falls under the responsibility of Shipping or Warehouse Managers, or Purchasing personnel – and we see variances thereof, up to and including, outsourcing this task to third parties. Either way, this critical task must be administered efficiently and effectively by companies in order to facilitate their internal and external shipping activity in a cost-effective, even profitable manner.
RateLinx helps shippers large and small, with freight spends in the hundreds of millions of dollars per year all the way down to a low six-figure spend, to easily manage their own logistics business internally, arming them with all of the tools and services they need to do it themselves.
