Transportation Execution
Many shippers today go to great lengths to secure carrier pricing for their freight, but often fall short of their true savings opportunity because they lack real-time accessibility to all of their rates in a central routing system, and are unable to execute fully on their new pricing agreements. Therefore, once their pricing agreements are activated, they lose control over how the rates are used internally and externally.
Traditional transportation systems are designed primarily for tendering outbound shipments and lack capabilities for managing inbound and third-party shipments. Furthermore, due to compliance requirements by parcel carriers, shippers must utilize another separate system for processing parcel and as a result, incur higher freight and licensing costs. Shippers have to utilize several routing and tendering methods including third party software, carrier websites, even paper routing guides and maps to route their shipments, resulting in Vendors and/or Employees making costly business decisions. In the end, Shippers are unable to control their freight from being tendered outside their negotiated pricing agreements and, as a result, they overpay for freight. RateLinx introduced new freight technology that has helped our clients address this problem by enforcing internal and external compliance across all modes with the source where freight cost is derived – –the carrier pricing agreement
RateLinx technology helps companies generate hard savings immediately by ensuring that your Vendors Employees, and Third Parties make the right choices that keep them within the boundaries of your carrier contracts for all of your shipments, including inbound, outbound, and third party shipment automation.
