Scottsdale, AZ and Brookfield, WI — August 27— RateLinx, a market leader and Gartner top-ranked TMS solution, multicarrier parcel management, and freight audit solution, is excited to announce a new strategic alliance with Vrakas/Blum Computer Consulting, LLC (VBCC), a Sage Diamond Business Partner and top Sage solution provider in the Midwest region.

This partnership integrates RateLinx’s ShipLinx TMS with Sage 100 and Sage Intacct to create a seamless ERP-to-TMS connection that controls costs, drives revenue growth, and retains customers. Designed for businesses in manufacturing, distribution, and wholesale—industries served by both companies—this integration enables Sage users to build more connected and cost-effective supply chains.

“At RateLinx, we look for partners who put clients first—and Vrakas/Blum does exactly that. This alliance makes it easier than ever for Sage users to scale, control costs, and grow revenue through automation,” said Shannon Vaillancourt, CEO of RateLinx. 

The ShipLinx TMS integration with Sage 100 and Sage Intacct delivers five key benefits:

  1. Automates ERP Shipment Details into TMS –  The integration eliminates rekeying of every shipment detail—addresses, order lines, freight terms—into the ShipLinx TMS. Resulting in fewer mistakes, faster shipments, reduced labor costs. 
  2. Enables Real-Time Rate Shopping to Cut Costs – ShipLinx TMS uses Sage 100 and Sage Intacct order data (origin, destination, weight, service level, etc.) to instantly compare rates from all available carriers. 
  3. Accelerates Fulfillment and Improves Customer Experience- As soon as an order is created in the Sage 100 or Sage Intacct, it’s routed, rated, and processed for shipment in real time with ShipLinx TMS. Tracking numbers and freight costs flow right back to Sage 100 or Sage Intacct. Faster fulfillment drives revenue growth and customer retention for shippers..
  4. Controls Freight Spend – With tight margins, freight is often the second or third highest operational cost. Integration ensures shippers are always using the best rate, and tracking every charge against contract terms.
  5. Improves Visibility Across the Supply Chain – With the ShipLinx TMS and Sage 100 or Sage Intacct integration, shippers  gain a connected view of order-to-delivery, including landed cost analysis, carrier performance, freight accruals, and actuals. This results in tighter cost control and improved service metrics.

With over 30 years of experience implementing Sage solutions and four consecutive years of Sage Diamond Partner recognition, Vrakas/Blum brings unmatched ERP expertise and a long-standing track record of success in manufacturing, distribution, and wholesale markets.

“We partnered with RateLinx because their customers consistently praised the best-in-class  support they receive. That commitment to service reflects our own client-focused values,” said Greg Tisdale, Sage 100 Practice Leader at Vrakas/Blum Computer Consulting, LLC. “Our customers are demanding more from their ERP systems—faster shipping, lower freight costs, better visibility, and a unified supply chain. ShipLinx TMS delivers all of that and more.” As shipping costs rise and supply chain complexity grows, this new alliance equips Vrakas/Blum Consulting customers with a proven solution to simplify logistics and scale operations without adding manual labor or technology overhead.
