Tanner Dastrup, Director of Logistics at Trove Brands, highlighted how RateLinx transformed their complex, multimodal shipping operations by enabling multi-mode rate shopping, automating international container tracking, and creating bid wars to lower freight spend through an engineering-driven implementation. Prior to RateLinx, Trove relied on manual spreadsheets and emails for truckload, LTL, parcel, and e-commerce shipments, which slowed operations, limited visibility, and risked errors. With RateLinx, Trove centralized all shipping data, diversified carriers to optimize costs, and leveraged auctions that allowed carriers to competitively undercut each other, saving significant money per lane. The system’s flexibility and customizable features—from bill of lading adjustments to label modifications—combined with a phased “crawl, walk, run” rollout, allowed Trove to scale efficiently, maintain operational continuity, and improve long-term logistics strategy across warehouses, 3PLs, and international shipments.
